Is the filter applied to any clips in your project? If so you’ll always get that message.
Whenever you have a filter in use in a project and it’s not on your system that type of error will always pop up.

My guess is that CS6 is not optimized for Windows 8.1 like the new CC versions are. Moving forward in an OS is not always the best thing when running older software, especially software that’s older than 3 years which is where I think CS6 is now.

Premiere Pro treats the each instance of a clip as a unique clip.
So when you change something in the Timeline, it does not automatically change the original clip in the Bin and vice versa. There are times when this is helpful, though for most folks they’d prefer it the FCP way.
Generally I try to remember to label all my clips before they come into the timeline, but generally when I drop a clip that needs labelling and it’s not, that reminds me to go back to the bin and re-label.

You don’t pay extra for stills, at least not in my experience. The Photographer is already there getting paid to shoot video. They shoot off some stills as well, usually on the same camera but even if it’s a second camera, it’s still a digital transfer over to you.
If you have two separate people there, then it’s two charges.
I’ve done productions both ways and have never paid the videographer extra for shooting stills while we’re in production. Heck at the last shoot the sound guy was taking pictures too and gave me about 100 stills over 3 days.

We’ve had the online demo with the team at SNS and it’s quite powerful. We’re scheduled to have a system installed at our shop soon, so once we have it online I can report back.

[Gabriel Sanchez] “The production company told me yesterday that i´ll need to handle 120 TB of 4k footage. Wow! That´s too much for my machine capability. And i´m not counting storage need if i make 1080p proxies, although i´m planning in doing the job with raw material in PPro CC2014 which i´ve tested and worked fine with no need of proxies.
My PC only have 3 free slots for upgrading my drive setup, and using them only will rise my internal storage capability to 6 TB more, 18 tb in total.”You’ll need a serious external RAID, probably multiple 16 bay models to get that much storage. You won’t be connecting via USB 3, it’ll be a more robust connection like SAS or possibly even 10gig E which we use here. Look at Studio Network Solutions, Small Tree, G-Technology and other large volume RAID suppliers. In short, it’s rather expensive to set up a reliable external RAID for what you’re looking for and remember if they tell you 120TB for just the raw media, you’ll want to double that amount to ensure you have enough for renders, graphics, animations, audio, and whatever else is associated with the project.
We run approx. 100TB here all via 10gig E through a system from Small Tree, though we’re about to install a new system from Studio Network Solutions which will add another 48 – 64TB to our configuration.

We instruct the system to put all the necessary files alongside the original media files. So they end up on our server.

To all who have tried to access “Starting a New Project with Adobe Premiere Pro” I apologize for all the inconvenience. We finally tracked it down to the fact that I had cancelled my Vimeo Pro account and reverted back to the free account. That threw all the website permissions for a tizzy.
I’m restoring all my videos back to Wistia starting with that one and the “Multi-Editor Basics” in Adobe Premiere Pro. Both are back online and ready for viewing as I’ve tested the page with two new accounts on my website. Again, my apologies.

[Kylee Wall] “And once the show is done, they run back to LA since there’s no post-related tax incentive, so you never see it through to the end.”
Actually just to clarify that one point. Post IS included in the Tax Credit if the project is shot AND edited in Atlanta. That’s all considered part of full production. For some reason the LA companies don’t care or don’t understand that part, but Post could be included in the full 30% tax credit if they both shot and finished their shows here.
Post is not a stand-alone tax credit item for something shot in another state.

[Scott Cumbo] “I never got that “don’t give the project file” thing.
If I was a client and someone refused to give me
The project file of something I paid you to cut, I would never work with you again out of general principle. “No professionals I know give the project files to the client as part of a standard freelance contract unless you are working in their facility on their equipment. That’s your work. The client is paying me for the finished master and all the raw materials. Not the project file.
If the client wants the project files, it’s an extra $1000 or extra $150/hour whichever is more.
It’s not that they can take your work elsewhere for revising because they’re unhappy with your work. They can simply use your work as a template for someone cheaper to come along and replicate what you did with other projects. That’s the main reason we don’t give project files away and never have in 12 years of business.
