Set up a Current camera in front of a good monitor and record the Frames, then digitize from the current camera. Definitely faster than digitizing one frame at a time into your software.

I use Streamclip often and have no problem with Batches of different size files encoding to Prores and keeping the original frame rate and aspect ratio. Just don’t change anything when prompt to choose what type files your creating. Just choose Prores.

Thanks for the bad news Tero. Much appreciated.

Hi Buddy, still not getting what I need. I need 7&8 to be embedded Stereo. If you have 6 Trks for the Surround and a separate Stereo Mix that your adding to 7 or 8 how do you get the Stereo mix.
FCP is the easy way. Your stereo mix takes up 7&8 and you can Pan Left & Right if you need to.
This just isn’t the case in PP.
What am I not doing??

The bigger the file the better the result.
I supply youtube with H264 1920×1080 60000 KBS
Keep audio native. Great results for 4 years running.

I agree Micheal, looks like Vimeo Video to me. Youtube is definitely hit and miss on what the media winds up being. Just submitted 1080 mp4 and got 360.

March 24, 2015 at 2:44 pm in reply to: 5.1 Surround wth Stereo Mix Export “to hot”

Thanks for the detailed response.
I get Prores Masters to export out for distribution.
I get 5.1 surround elements and stereo mixes that I marry to picture and export out to different specs. Very simple in FCP not so simple in PP.
I have researched the set up in PP and I’m including a pic with the correct output setup. Please check if I’m doing something wrong.
The audio DB boost that I get is also seen in FCP when I check the file.
This should just be a simple setup and export. But I always get a 2 or 3 DB boost.
