Is the red on with no effects? It’s normal with non-accelerated effects. And what’s the format on that footage?

I think you’re right, this looks like cheap LED lights/shutter issue, although it doesn’t look like your typical roll.
The lower end LED lights dim by simply decreasing refresh rate.Probably not something you can fix in post, although you can try playing with frame rates in the timeline.
I’m guessing this was shot at 60P?

I like these so that I don’t lose the bottom portion of the screen:

You should be able to send out multiple channels of audio from pretty much any playback software. This will be handled by the OSX audio hardware settings.
You should look into a USB I/O interface like MOTU https://motu.com/products
As for the software itself, Resolume is way overkill for just simple playback, by if you own it, why not.
Otherwise, Playback Pro, QLab, Mitti or Millumin. Whatever you chose, get a backup 🙂

Try rasterizing and combining all layers in Photoshop first. Or export as a PNG.

Prores export on Windows which is pretty sweet!

LTO tape is still the safest way to go.
If you are going to store on hard drives, I would recommend one of these cases to keep humidity away:

Ideally, you would have 2 backups, and you would keep them in separate locations. I would also spin them up at least once a year.
Then consolidate on new drives after 5 years or so as bigger hard drives come along.As for brands, I would pick from Hitachi or Toshiba first.

Was your project originally created in CS5? That’s a big jump and I would expect some issues as well. Bringing that project to Mac may work, or make it worse. What format are you encoding to?
Why not just encode without media encoder for now?

Your dropped frames on GoPro is normal. It’s super compressed and requires huge CPU load to decode. So in theory, you should be using proxies with an intermediate codec like Prores or DNX HD for playback and editing. CC 2019 makes the process very easy, but that’s where your drive space might start to matter.

Depends on what you’re editing. 1 TB is nothing for many of us. I can fill 20 TB in a month and that’s with heavy archiving.
So SSD is not really an option budget wise. But if you work exclusively in h.264 and your projects are small, that might work.
Otherwise, I’m big fan of the Pegasus or Caldigit offerings in RAID 5. Chronosync for backup (on a Mac).
You can keep media cache and projects on the same drive.Vince Becquiot
