You are seeing a difference because 23.976 isn’t true “clock time.” When you switch to the “audio time units” display, Premiere is now showing you the true “clock time” of your sequence.

Think of it as the the same principle as 29.97 non-drop frame timecode vs 29.97 drop frame. Unfortunately there is no 23.98 drop-frame timecode equivalent. I like…

My experience with the the Blackmagic breakout boxes is that the drivers can be very finicky with Avid. In the past, I’ve had to download and test multiple versions of their driver to find one that played nicely with my OS/Avid version combination. The “delay when stopping and starting and moving” sounds like the same issue I had. The solution for…

Fellow CCE member too 🙂 I bet we have lots of mutual acquaintances. Have a great weekend too!

Hey Trevor, you can do this using the “adjust pan/vol on tracks – in/out” command in the hamburger menu on the top right of the audio mixer tool. You can map the command to a keyboard shortcut, although I believe in older versions of Media Composer this wasn’t possible. If you don’t have an in/out set in the timeline, I believe the change will…

Hi Luke, I would start by fully reading Sofi Marshall’s article on merge clips vs multicam:

How to Batch Sync Audio in Adobe Premiere Pro in Five Easy Steps

How you choose to cut is highly personal, but I prefer to set up Premiere as close to AVID as possible. In other words, using a bin-based, source/record workflow for assembly, and trim…

Mocha Pro has a “remove object” module that I’ve seen give great results.

The built in tools in Premiere won’t do what you are trying to achieve. I’ve gotten decent results with Re:vision Effects ReelSmart Motion Blur:

RE:Vision Effects ReelSmart Motion Blur Pro

If memory serves, DaVinci Resolve also has a built in fake motion blur plugin that you could try (and it’s free).

I tried a test on my machine and it doesn’t appear that importing OMFs is possible. You should ask your engineer to send the edit as an AAF, with non-embedded media (assuming they are sending media as well). He should also enable “quantize edits to Frame Boundaries” in the export options, so you don’t get clips with NLE unfriendly lengths.

You aren’t going crazy. The UI design is a bit confusing. The gain slider is right next to the VU meter. The “Output Gain” setting is displayed below, “Gain: 0 db”. The numbers listed on the VU meter are just the output level readout, they have nothing to do with the Gain slider. It would be less confusing if there was no Output Gain slider at…

It will work, but you need to apply a “Transform” filter to the adjustment layer, and make the scale adjustments there. Simply changing the scaling property of the adjustment layer won’t affect the clips beneath it.

Which version of 2020 are you running? I had similar issues and it turns out there was a bug in 2020.9 … upgrading to 2020.10 fixed the problem.
