How does it not save the attributes…it saves the whole title…does it not?

I think I’m not understanding something completely here…

Can you tell me what is happening that indicates this?

Thanks

Do need actual partial transparency on these files from PPro? Or…just an alpha channel?

Just grab the whole folder and import it…i do this with XDcam and P2. Ppro keeps what it recognizes and ignores the rest….

So you have some sort of corruption in your media files or that project file…

Your warning to “…anyone out there using RED camera, P2, or EX1 files for larger projects BEWARE…I would say completely and definitely not worth the risk as of yet”

…might to be premature?

I edit P2 and EX files on loooong timelines with no issues and I’ve recently started with DSLR also with no issues…been handling RED R3D since CS4.

I would be safe by doing the following:

Go to Users/-name-/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common and just empty that folder entirely…it will all be rebuilt but there is almost certainly some corrupted material in there… I’d also relaunch PPro with the ‘Alt” key down to dump the prefs file.

With that much craziness, I’d make sure it’s cleaned up.

[Chris Aaron] “”PPro has the ability to relink media…it does it by itself…”

this is the problem I am speaking about…it ONLY does it by itself so since we all know how reliable computers are why did they not allow human control for these kinds of things…always better safe than sorry”

LOL!…because Avid and FCP users have been screaming that PPro’s media management is no good because it isn’t like their systems…

It used to be manual…and Adobe got no end of grief for it.

search for my name and Adobe TV…something like “event DVD”

I did a 90 minute ProRes timeline…720p60 and dynamic linked to Encore and authored it.

How many people are using it? I have no idea…I think if we make t into an election, most of us throughout the industry have our own quirky workflow items…

I know I’m not the only guy who works cross-platform from time to time.

I’ve used a KiPro before as well…excellent box.

Was there a crash? Did you move media to a different drive? Is there some media that has identical clip names from a camera data card maybe?

PPro has the ability to relink media…it does it by itself…but it sounds like a directory changed structure or the media cache is corrupt. PPro sounds like it senses that the media has changed somehow and is updating the metadata to get its bearings… This is unusual for PPro on the PC side, but I guess I don’t know what the issue might be on the Mac side.

I’d start PPro in a new project, and go to Premiere Pro >Preferences>Media There will be a “Clean” button in there for the Media Cache database…push it.

Then I’d probably start the machine fresh, open a brand new PPro project and then import the screwy project into it…it may take a while as it will have to rebuild the data base… Hopefully you didn’t try to do a lot of rearranging in the corrupt project as that wouldn’t help things…but give that a shot.

Good luck with it.

Was the media just transferred to a Mac hard drive to empty the P2 card, or are you saying that someone has “ingested” the media in FCP?

If it’s just a P2 card dump, is it one of those LaCie drives with the orange rubber bumper around it?

Mac Drive won’t help you with those…they just don’t seem to mount on a PC at all…

Hmmm…I never got a workstation up and running with Vista actually…abandoned it and went Windows 7. I run ProRes on my PC/Premiere Pro machine fairly often…it’s not a problem…,you need a plan to master it if they want ProRes delivered…the KiPro and an HDSDI card works very well for that.

[Don Greening] “Because it cuts down the available light by 9% whereas a UV/protector filter is only 3%”

Ah…I see. yes, I’m not doing event work, so the slight loss I noticed (I’m surprised that it’s 9% actually) really wasn’t a big deal for me.
