Find the original clip in the project bin, and conform audio to mono. Back in the timeline use Match Frame to reveal the clip in the viewer, and replace manually.

The new color tools in Premiere CC2015 make for quicker grading that will probably cover most needs. But if you find yourself jumping in and out of Speedgrade as well – I would recommend Resolve, which has much better color handling and a superb tracker.

Also it is great that you can disable all color effects with one button, and go back into editing mode for adjustments, even after you have started grading. Do not try that with Speedgrade!

Another limitation in Resolve is that all projects reside on the client computer.
(that’s also one thing I don’t like about FCPX)

In order to save a project to a Workgroup server it must be exported – which means the next time you open that project, you will have to import and replace if it has been altered on another client.

Resolve 12 has many high end delivery codecs, but misses a few important generic ones (Mac platform):

– there is no MPEG2 export
– you can only output H264 through Quicktime. No generic MP4 output
– there are no presets for mobile devices or tablets

of course Adobe should innovate as well as keep us informed – but as they announce the new versions up to these events again and again, it forces them to whip their development team to deliver shortly after – and that is why we continue to see buggy software (and this does not only apply to Adobe).

I have personally stayed of the 2015 update until now, and am enjoying those great color features.

You are changing the subject of the post.

But to answer your question it does make sense to have editing and color in the same application.
Conforming through EDL or round-tripping both introduce problems, that can be avoided in an application that can do both. How many times have you not needed to go back and fix some editing – even after you thought the edit was ready for grading? In resolve you can simply disable all grades, go back and do your fix in editing mode, and you don’t loose a single grade or any real time performance.

That said, BM still needs to do some optimisation for playback – but they are slowly getting there.

Then again there is the question that has been brought up about how BM can maintain a useful income from giving away the software. At some point they will be forced to make us pay…

Perpetual license or Cloud based, Adobe will continue to force outputs of their video applications up to NAB and IBC. This is why we continue to receive buggy updates, and why their argument for independant Cloud delivery does not hold water.

After layering a couple of more effects and doing some speed changes I get some fan activity.
Hopefully the main release will be a little more optimised – but this is a lot better than v11.
