I had this same problem. This solution worked for me:
1) Be sure you have the most recent BETA version (1.93b8)
2) Open Applications folder, select MPEG Streamclip’s application file, do “Get Info” (command-I)
3) check “Open In Low Resolution”
4) MPEG Streamclip should now work correctly.

Great, thanks guys for your advice. I ordered a replacement drive directly from Lacie, should arrive today.

Just tried it, it worked for me. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll give it a try…

Yes, pretty much a space issue. First time the crew has shot 4K footage. They way overshot, particularly on the first day when they weren’t really thinking about how large the resulting files would be. The other solution, of course, is to just buy more storage, but I was hoping to keep the clips to a more manageable size.
I found that my Quicktime 7 method also works in MPEG Streamclip, though with Streamclip it doesn’t show me source time code when looking at the footage. The original time code does carry over to the new clip, so that’s a plus.
It seems like Prelude is almost there for this task – I don’t understand why it ignores your in and outs if you are transferring clips to a new destination but not transcoding. Maybe a feature request is in order.

Hello Mel
Thanks for confirming the bug. I did submit a bug report myself, so hopefully Adobe will fix this in the next release.
Yes, I know I can render out to ProRes if I use a non-ProRes sequence and/or don’t use the preview files, and in fact before this latest version that was what I usually did. I was hoping with the new Pre-Render in Quicktime option I could save time on the final export by doing a lot of my rendering when taking a break, answering email, overnight, etc.
In the meantime, good idea on the workaround – I will try using movie files of the bars, tone and black instead of the built-in media.

Solved my own problem – I realized that I hadn’t yet installed the CC version of After Effects. Once I did, Adobe Dynamic Link became an option in Premiere CC.

That did the trick, thanks a lot. Do you know if there a tutorial online somewhere explaining how to use Multicam in Premiere CC? I used it all the time in CS6, but since there is no longer a multicam window, I’m a little bit unsure how it works.

Just drop the Sharpen effect on your clip, and adjust the value upward until it looks better. Like I said, at some point there will be a trade off where it looks less soft, but more grainy.

Sure thing. But want to ad that like some of the others, I think the rotating & then scaling up method is preferable. If your footage is only 2 degrees out of whack, should only have to scale it up 8-10% or so. Yes you’ll lose some resolution, but I think a little softness would be less noticeable to the average viewer than a black border. You can try adding a low-value Sharpen filter to eliminate a little of the softness. Not too much or everything will get grainy.
