I don’t understand the “unlink” and “reattach” procedure honestly. I see editors doing that and it’s such a slow procedure.
Just hold down the Option key. Lasso all the unwanted audio. Delete. Done.
Of course the best way to ensure you don’t get all the unwanted audio is to set your timeline so only the audio tracks you want are active before bringing your clips in.

You can color grade proxies all you want, it’s just that any effects, color grading or otherwise, introduces more noise and degradation to the image. But this doesn’t matter since you’ll be replacing the proxies with your full resolution images before you output and you should be able to transfer all your color grading information over to the full resolution footage as well.

You can’t manually map the command?

What Ann says. You install Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 from the Creative Cloud and that will install Encore CS6 as part of that package. Once everything is installed, you can delete Premiere Pro and Media Encoder CS6 while just retaining Encore CS6.
Adobe never made Encore a stand alone installer, it must be installed as part of the Premiere Pro CS6 package.

I don’t have a link to that but there’s also the classic “Salute to Rough Cut Lady.”

Big part of any camera is the lens itself. I gave up on cheaper camcorders like HDV cameras and smaller P2 cameras probably 4 years ago or so. Only shoot with the Panasonic GH4 and the Blackmagic 4k Cinema Camera now. But the most important aspect are the lenses. A set of 4 cinema lenses from Rokinon and Sigma that are more like prime lenses. The GH4 also has a Metabones speedbooster.
Put those lenses together with those cameras and I can create incredible images. If we use a camcorder it’ll be a higher end camera that shoots HD or 4k ProRes. I also have the Blackmagic pocket camera which is a fun camera as well.
For sound I record via the Zoom H6 recorder. The camera / sound recorder combo has been rock solid for years.
Heck I went out on a cruise recently and shot with my iPhone and an iOgrapher. I was blown away by the quality and how steady I could make the shots. And that was with the camera still in auto-iris (which I hate) and the phone was set to 720p not 1080. Put a shotgun mic on there and I’m ready to start shooting real projects with that combo. I even wrote about it.

I didn’t think humor ever left. Delta Airlines has certainly been out front with humor for some time now with their safety videos.
In fact we just completed an on-site safety video for a manufacturing company that referenced Delta as what they’d like to incorporate. So that’s exactly what we did with a lot of on-camera gags, sound effects and subtle references to classic movies that keeps the viewer’s attention while covering all of the real safety needs of the company.

[Ludmil Kazakov] “i did this trick with Avid, where i put the project file on dropbox and all changes happened instantly… just had to stay away from working on the exact same timeline.”
We always create a B-Project for the second editor just to make doubly sure we never overwrote each other’s work. You can use the Media Browser to simply import the sequence from the other editor.

[Tony West] “Come on now, who is out there shooting footage that poorly and getting paid to do it?”
If you watched any of the Planet Earth series when it aired on BBC / Discovery a few years back there was a lot of footage that was miraculously color graded in post. Just because of the changing conditions where they were and the changes in lighting on the fly. In particular, there is a polar bear fight in one of the episodes that’s 20 shades of blue in the original. I would loved to have sat in on the color grading of that series.
So yes, footage does come back that bad sometimes and yes, it’s very experienced photographers bringing it back. Don’t even get me started on color grading “Good Eats.” I still cringe every time I see those stupid red lights over AB’s table…….
