Well, I know that my XDCAM 422 29.97 exports will have a data rate of 50mbps. And that with 25fps, the data rate will be lower, due to less FPS. But I don’t think THAT much lower.

OK…open the Source Browser….FILE>INPUT>SOURCE BROWSER. Now, you can either LINK to the footage, and it won’t change anything. Or, you can IMPORT…and in the sprocket menu lower left right next to IMPORT, you can select DO NOT RESIZE SMALLER IMAGES. That should keep the same dimensions.

Overall advice? Don’t do it. You’ll spend more time trying to do the conversion and chasing errors and fixes than actual editing. If they want it done in Avid, do it in Avid. There is no easy way to mix editing platforms, especially Avid and Premiere. Going one way is tough enough, going back, adding more fuel to the fire.
My opinion? Use Avid.

As an editor, and online editor…I can say that I would not want the shooters to transcode the footage for me. I want the camera masters, and the ability to do it myself. The post house that does get these has many options…one, get the NABLET plugin to convert the footage…or use Resolve to convert the footage. It all depends on how they intend to edit and finish the project. And because you don’t know how they are going to do that, and because you cannot create Avid style media with Media Encoder.
Not sure what the client is asking, really. BUT, if they insist, then convert the footage using Media Encoder to DNxHD 175x or 220x Quicktime files…and provide those as well as the camera masters to them. And yes, bill for the time since they requested it. But yeah, give the masters in case Post has different (better) ideas on what to do.

What is the format of the footage you are working with? Three streams of video might be nothing if it’s proxy, like ProRes Proxy or similar. But if it’s camera raw, or even ProRes 4444…that’s huge data rate, even for an eSATA connection.

For that you need to either find the words manually (listen for them) or load the clip into software like PHRASE FIND and do a search for the word you are looking for.

Do you mean that you want to use single words from multiple sources to make up a different sentence? Like…
“Here” from Jack Nicholson
“are” by James Franco
“the” by Jerry Seinfeld
“best” by Tom Cruise
“carrots” by Sigourney Weaver
“money” by Leonardo DiCaprio
“can” by James Caan
“buy” by Uma Thurmond.Or…like those videos of news people like Brian Williams, where you take single words from multiple broadcasts to have him saying the lyrics to a popular song?

I use the broadcast monitor for everything (even things that don’t air on TV), because it is the most accurate representation of the footage. The Premiere Pro interface isn’t accurate, even on a computer monitor. Avid is FAR from accurate, Resolve…not accurate. None of viewers in those apps are designed to be used as color accurate representations of the footage…they are viewers to see what you are doing. So even if your stuff is viewed online only,
If you make it look good on that external broadcast monitor, you know the footage is good. If it then doesn’t look all that hot on your computer display, that would be because of a variety of OTHER factors…such as what monitor people are using on their computer (is it balanced accurately?) Quicktime Player vs VLC (VLC is more accurate)…Safari vs Firefox vs Chrome (view the same YouTube video on all those browers, it will look different)…youtube compression vs Vimeo… All of the same factors you deal with when sending out for broadcast. What TV is used…is it balanced? What cable/sat providor do you have (they all compress the footage differently when sending out to homes), how did the network compress your final master that you delivered? All that stuff that is out of your control once it leaves your hands.
SO…if you grade on that nice monitor you have, you know it’s right. How it’s displayed after that isn’t something you can control. AND, if you grade only using the Premiere Pro interface…it won’t be accurate like it is on that monitor
