Seems that Canon C100 is using a format by default not supported by Premiere Pro right? Yeah a media encoder should certainly help you to output files to any formats you can imagine. Or you can also use a converter to convert your video files to MP4 format that is certainly supported by Premiere Pro and Sony Vegas from my experience.

Here is a link you can check more info on the Media Encoder incase you need to know more about it: https://www.adobe.com/products/media-encoder.html

I believe both Premiere Pro and Sony Vegas has a way you can seperate the tracks. Like for example, when I send a video from my Canon Camera over to my Sony Vegas pro, there is a video and audio track grouped together as you are probably aware. I right click the video track and I click the group section and then hover the arrow to where it says “Remove From” and the video and audio will be two seperate tracks that can be worked with individually.

If you are still wondering how to do this since this post was over a year ago now, here is the link of a YouTube video I found to see if it helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-L3wFlsEpo

That is rather strange, did you tried opening the project files of Elements 3D to see if you can reload all the assets you were working on previously there? Cause from my experience with Vegas and Premiere Pro, if I uninstall and reinstall, as long as the project files contains all the assets used and all are in the same location on the computer, it should be able to load.

Sadly there seems to not be a work around to have Sony Vegas support MXF files, you will need to use a converter of some sort to convert those files to MP4, WMV and other formats supported by Vegas. I usually use the MP4 format these days.

Another thing I found online was that MXF recordings are not supported by Vegas Pro directly. To get your 4K or 1080P MXF videos accepted by Vegas Pro, you’ll have to transcode MXF to Vegas Pro friendly video format like H. 264 or MPEG-2 with a video conversion software.

I also use the YTD Video Downloader app to convert files to MP4 as well, there could be others that can help. But MP4 I highly recommend more since it it maintains the quality depending on where you wish to have it uploaded and for which device. Hope it helps.

Have you tried checking this website? https://www.lacie.com/support/downloads/

There seems to be a list of firmware software you can choose from to download on your PC, which version of Lacie you had that worked before btw? Its always good to make sure when you update that all the tools you use is compatible with the latest update, if not, it would be best to hold off on the update until there is a compatibility.

Not sure about the scripts and plugins, but there should be ways to automate motions or get motions from sources online. If you decide to want to learn them from scratch regardless, here is the link I found that may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tQ0hf2SCeo

Here is the other link for plugins if you wish to look into it as well: https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/plug-ins.html

Version 23.6 of Adobe Premiere Pro is the latest stable release from August 2023 and it should be compatible with your MAC OS Catalina 10.15 and later. Hope it helps and best of luck.

The most recent version of Adobe After Effects is 23.6 that was released last month in August 2023! Any versions of A3 17.0 and later should be well compatible with your Mac OS Catalina version. Hope it helps!

Yeah the noises sure sounds weird. The Mic could be fine but it could also be caused by your SD Card as well. Sometimes when I have an SD card that is like a fake 3rd party one, it starts to perform poorly, making the video files become corrupted. Not sure if your SD card is a replica or officially made by SanDisk or something but many SD cards sold online for example may look exactly like the real thing but not always the case. I would suggest you get a new SD card directly from a store like Best Buy or Walmart, then test the mic with that. Not sure if you still have this issue now since it’s been a while since you wrote this but many SD cards runs at different speed and depending on the MB speeds is how they will perform in certain cameras. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck!

Yeah, it certainly is possible since all you would have to do is have 2 cameras recording you at the same time. One camera can be showing the 360 camera view of the VR footage and the other one can show the person playing the VR or people watching it. After it’s all recorded at the same time, to edit it, you just need to sync the audios together in the same timeline and then choose which audio to keep or mute, keep the best quality one of course and then do a pan/crop Scale to fit both screens in the same video screen. Hope this helps and know it is very possible as long as you are able to have these videos with the compatible file format being passed over to Vegas. Best of luck! 🙂
