[Alex Udell] “maybe it’s time to relegate that to “title tool classic””

Not until the text capabilities exist in some other application…

Well…no compression would yield files that would run about 125 Mega-BYTES a second. Your AVCHD is probably around 24 MegaBITS a second…

So…you’d end up with a file ~42X larger that would look the same…you’d make some storage dealer very happy.

Is there a problem with keeping the camera files in archive?

CS6 was released a year before the new MacPros were even announced (about the same time CC was released…). CC is the current application…the development is directed there.

I’m not sure why that’s strange…or maybe I misunderstood your question.

[Kevin Monahan] “Yes, Tim. Also, if you’re using “Final Cut Pro” shortcuts in CC, nudge clip selection up/down does need to be set manually.”

Oh yes, the FCP shortcuts…why would someone use those again? 🙂

Yes…Walter said it. The only capability that Premiere Pro has had in the last 4-5 years to open in an earlier version of the application have been just happy accidents at very particular points in development.

There is no standard, or intended way to open a CC sequence in CS6 or earlier without saving an XML or an EDL, both being exceptionally crude datasets next to a Premiere Pro project file.

I have a blog entry where I cover the most direct way to do this…though it’s still a bit of a pain.

Keep in mind the titler tool is basically the core tech from Inscriber… The vector engine and text engine are different from Photoshop and Illustrator, so it isn’t a straightforward process to link them up.

…though I’ve been an advocate of un-neglecting Premiere Pro’s Title Tool for a decade…

…don’t know how ProCoder 2 could be free…it required a USB hardware dongle to run.

Canopus used a proprietary wrapper, though the payload of those files are pretty much standard DV 25.

I’d search the web for “Canopus-DV-File-Converter” as there was a free utility that could convert (losslessly) Canopus DV to regular ‘ole MSDV type 2 (Microsoft DV) which is pretty standard stuff.

Now…whether or not you can use any AVI files on your iMac with Avid is another matter. That’s a question for someone else.

If you aren’t using CC, there isn’t a way to move clips up and down.

If you are using CC, then it’s Alt (Opt)+cursor up/down

I’d say you might want to supply more info on what the specs are…and the media you’re working with.

It sounds like the system is either bottlenecking in decoding or hard drive access

Oh..now I have it.

I guess I use uncompressed AVI so seldom that I never ran into that limitation, but I just verified it here…

I’m not sure if the free version of GoPro CineForm Studio will allow the codec to go above HD resolution…but I know the codec is certainly capable of it and then some…

There are a number of options…but I think that Lagarith might be your best free option.
