Eric,
Thanks so much for taking the time to do the video. Your solution is much better for me than the work around Jeff offered and I stumbled upon myself.
To me it would be logical that Premiere reads the master track of the nested sequence. Maybe they fixed that in CS5….Thanks again.

Thanks, Jeff. Great minds think alike
. That idea occurred to me after I posted. Using it right now. Works fine, though it seems the long way around. -
Thanks so much. I’ll give it a try.

Good call. When I create the sequence, the Video Preview File format is Cineform AVI. When the project restarts, the preview format has been reset to Microsoft AVI, DV 24p codec. This is the first time I have tried to use Cineform in quite a bit. I had given up after I upgraded to CS4 and couldn’t capture directly into Premiere. I’ll bounce this over to the Cineform techs.

I sometimes edit with CS4 on a Lenovo T61 – Dual core 2.09 GHz, 3 GB RAM, Nvideo Quadro NVS 140M. I edit everything from DV to RED, but it’s mostly simply stuff — it will choke pretty fast when you start getting multiple HD streams. Several things to improve the experience. If CS4 freezes or quits, try scaling back the graphics hardware acceleration. I turn it off completely when I’m editing. I have a 2nd internal hard drive for my video files, but that still isn’t fast enough for some things. I also have an external G-Tech RAID 0 drive with an eSATA card for HD files.

I don’t disagree, BUT what is arriving at Ooyala is missing a key frame at the beginning of the video — so it’s being stripped out somewhere.

Seems unrelated to original footage. One video started with an .avi render from AE over a .mov – motion jpeg, another was captured HDV footage, others imported .mov HDV 720p30.

Ooyala techs told me there wasn’t an initial key frame.
After I finish the video, I export to the Media Encoder. Settings are:
Format: H.264
NTSC 480 x 270 30 fps progressive
Square pixels
Profile Maine
Level 3.1
VBR 2 pass
Target 3 Mbps
Max 6 Mbps -
Another possible solution is to rip the install DVDs to a hard drive and install off the HD. Don’t know why that works, but it has for me on a couple of installs. I used Dameon tools to rip and mount the install files.

Thanks, Greg.
Tested it and it works as advertised in CS4. Ordered it and am working with it now. Will save me a huge amount of time in not having to transcode the files to something else.
