Ok so after a bit of nightmare upgrading to resolve 9 I ended up going back to 8. After losing my databases. Long irrelevant story.

I imported the uncompressed tiff sequences that I was pretty happy with and tried a new export. This time it came out quite flat. But in earlier tests I saw the full range tiff sequence crush when exported to BD so I figured this flat look was fine and burnt to BD and whaddya know it came out perfect!

So I was heading in the right direction but thrown by some red herings.

Now my only thoughts is why some exports to pro res is coming out crushed and not flat? or will the crushed looking pro res files look fine once burnt to BD?

Thanks for the help again

Hi Peter and Joseph,

Thanks for the reply. Ok looks like that cleared up data and video levels for me. I had a hunch that was the case.

Anyway in regards to that chapter it mentions exporting either as a scaled or full range. Thats where I had the problems. Even if I exported full range pro res material it would crush. From what I understand now it would have taken the 422 material and boosted it up to full range even though its not 444 explaining why I might have issues exporting back to prores 422 (not hq or 444)

Basically the only way I could get a usable export was with a full range TIFF sequence.

So basically the scaled export is trying its best to scale the media into legal range but most likely its just too low to scale up effectively?

Does that mean I need to regrade with 709 in mind from the start?

Thanks again,

Steve

Hey Khalifa,

Well I figured it out. Upon closer inspection one of the pins is bent very slightly. Even with 2 other people looking we all missed it the first time. I had a lot of trouble spotting it but it was definitely a bent pin problem. its working now.

I feel quite sheepish but at least its working.

Cheers,

Steve

Follow steps 3-5 on here

Just make a backup of the folders first just in case.

Good luck

Have you made any changes to any of the plug ins? Or have you updated any of the adobe or OS software that might have stuffed up a plug in?

Basically this problem was caused by a faulty plug in and I cant really offer anymore help, you might have to uninstall all of them and start over installing one at a time until it works.

Sorry I can’t help more.

Hey Mijail,

The problem was caused by a plug in installed on premiere being corrupted. Try reinstalling any plug ins you have installed.

FCP is final cut pro, I use both FCP and premiere and the problem came from a plug in I use on both, re installing it on premiere fixed the problem.

Cheers,

I only tested with the CF34 port on my mac since it worked fine I didnt see any reason to test further with the usb. Its only playback on the one ex1 that doesnt work.

Hey Bob,

I use SDHC in my camera but at work we only use the SxS cards.

I have seen the media restore request on a few occasions when I have an eject issue with my macbook pro but I havnt seen it with any of the 4 cards I’ve been testing with. I switched the cards around on both cameras and tested a few times on each to make sure one camera wasnt corrupting the files and it isnt. The files still work on the good ex1 and my macbook and it doesnt need a media restore.

Thanks,

Steve

I had this same issue with my CS5. It was because I installed magic bullet looks for FCP. Once I reinstalled looks for premiere it worked fine again. Check for any issues or changes with plug ins you have made lately.

Hi Jeremy,

Sorry what I meant to say was that it was impossible without the converter box.

I wasnt sure about the possible output options if FCP but you did just save me a lot of searching.

Thanks for all the help!
