July 26, 2011 at 3:09 am in reply to: Pro color correcting with Adobe?

It was too much of a pain to move my project over to Premiere. But I do plan on using Premiere heavily in the future. I’m coloring in DaVinci. Loved Color, but alas, I think Apple is moving steadily away from their pro apps so I can’t stick around.

I should say, I’m having a colorist color my movie in DaVinci. I do think that Adobe would almost instantly achieve their goal of dominating the pro market if they did something crazy like BUY BLACKMAGIC, or enter into some kind of special relationship…

Good luck with your projects!

Thanks for the reply on this, Will. I was having the same problem. It would have taken me a LONG time to figure out it was the script. Thank goodness for autosave. Love the script… will use the workaround.

It’s working like a charm for me… But yes, the copy-paste from Premiere to AE is pretty awesome.

So if we just replace the file in the media pool, DaVinci will retain all the cuts it made and transfer the various grades to its chopped up little clips?

I guess that makes sense but it’s almost too easy!

Super important tip on the need for a “reel.” Had I not seen that I would have been up a creek. How were people to have known that?

Thanks for all the input folks! This has been a quite a learning experience. We’ve been able to find a hybrid approach to all this that will get us through and still keep the quality. But next time, I will start it out RIGHT.

Thanks for the great conversation folks!

We’ve got it all working with mattes and ProRes and things seem to be humming along swell!

July 14, 2011 at 9:23 pm in reply to: The best codec to use in Premiere?

So far I’ve found Premiere to be a bit clunky on quicktime-dominated macs. My studio will be going Premiere or Avid, and there’s a good chance will be saying bye bye to our macs. Partly because of clunkiness, but mostly because we don’t trust what Apple’s going to do next. However, AfterEffects runs super and always has on our macs.

I’m still exploring… but so far I like both DNxHD and CineForm in Premiere on a mac. Both rock for editing and are gorgeous codecs, and store alpha channels. Very comparable to ProRes. CineForm is a teeny bit buggy rendering on mac, but they are working to solve this. I don’t know what would cause the problems you’re having. The only playback issue I have discovered is at 1080p and highest bit rate, both playback a bit stuttery on a mac. I think it’s QT that is not interfacing nice.

That’s a big pain… since FCP by default exports an alpha channel on a ProRes 4444 timeline…

I’m sure people do FCP to DaVinci with ProRes all the time. How do they do it?

DaVinci doesn’t yet support alpha’s, so I can generate mattes no problem. But will it still be able to import video files with alphas, and just ignore them?

We’re having a bit of a problem getting DaVinci to like the ProRes source footage. Could it be because it has an alpha embedded?
