    It seems Projects are always stored in the Mac HD movies folder, whereas events can be saved wherever you want such as with the media on an external drive. When you make a project it is associated with an event.
    This whole nomenclature is a divergence from traditional NLEs of the past 15 years and takes some time to wrap your head around.

    Last year we needed a vomit scene in a medical video – we used instant oatmeal, though it was a low velocity output! Our actress was a good sport…until we asked for a 2nd take!

    Presumably on a Windows box you could get an SDI card and a KiPro and export in real time to ProRes, after rendering the timeline that is

    Match frame is a feature that was oddly missing for all previous versions of Premiere before CS6 and saves lots of time especially after editing accidents!

    I actually learned about it in an Avid suite and went to look for it on Premiere.

    to replace the video in a clip on V1 for the next batch of shows, set your in and out (or actually just the in as long as the out is past the duration of the clip on the sequence) then hold ALT and drag the video from the source window to the clip on the sequence, and it overwrites the old video, maintaining the in and out on the timeline and any effects.

    November 22, 2013 at 10:17 pm in reply to: import DV AVI file into PPro CC

    Interesting issue to me, since we are about to go to CC and have terabytes of DV-AVI from Windows (captured from analog tape via Premiere 6.5 before our analog machines died).

    Though we mostly use Windows, we do have some Macs.

    Walter – any thoughts?

    There are literally thousands of transcription services, especially ones that do medical work. Nearly every hospital and physician’s office has doctors dictate patient notes and these are transcribed by a human.

    We pay approx $100/hour of content and consider that a good deal.
    You can use software to get you some percentage of accurate, then you or someone on your dime will have to go a sentence at a time to fix it, so you might as well pay a professional to begin with.

    Software does not yet exist for everything!!

    November 13, 2013 at 7:50 pm in reply to: Audio drifting within Premiere

    Having a similar issue. Received F4V files recorded with Blackmagic Media Express at an unusual frame rate of 28.97. Playback on Windows through VLC sync is fine. Imported into Premiere, make a new sequence from the file, sync is off after about 5 seconds, and is about 1 min off by end of the file.

    This seems to be a known issue with Intensity / Media Express:

    Question now is how do you fix it? I tried converting to a 29.97 file but that didn’t help.

  • I shot this video in 4 locations generally using a kino for key, arri 150 for back light and a collapsible gold reflector for fill.
    You don’t always have an optimal location but you make the best of it.
    Sometimes fewer lights are better. Just make sure client is cool with interview style lighting (is some shadows) as some corporate folks want flat lighting which requires more instruments.

    Main problem with tight spaces is you can’t always make a soft background
