alex, could you repost this same workflow for novice premiere pro users on windows (not matrox). others more experienced seem able to navigate your post without much issue and apply it and i’m trying but…

i have only 2 cams so worst case i render 2x what i need if i denoise all of it, but retain flexibility to re-edit anytime. presuming the machine can render all night and i have the hdd space i’ll try raw this time.

on the import of AE-rendered files back into PPro, do i do the last step of ‘replacing’ in the project pane by right clicking ‘replace footage…’ on each track? is that how easy it will be? thanks again.

thanks for that walter. and thanks to you all so far. i’m starting to get a rough idea of what to do in what order etc. to answer your question, cam1 is super noisy in low light during a show and i need to denoise and color correct to better match to cam2.

instead of highlight cam-1 tracks in the nested sequence and export only those, it seems the easiest/best way advised is to just import ALL noisy raw footage directly into AE, de-noise, render and export an intermediate file/codec with ‘Project Link’ option checked then go to PP and backup the PP project file.

here are my questions:
– any specifics to consider when i import the AE-rendered files into PP?
– to replace/relink the footage is it as simple as right clicking > ‘relink’ or ‘replace with AE composition’ for the selected tracks in nested sequence)?

i was done with my nested multicam edit prior to getting your good advise. can i assume you knew that and all the steps you outlined take that into account?

can i safely assume that after i import, de-noise, render and export an intermediate file/codec with ‘Project Link’ option checked, and import them into PP, that PP will recognize all these maneuvers, that pp will find all the pre-rendered files and know what to do with them? please confirm.

i’m sold on doing the processor-efficient workflow vs bog down PPCC14 and just hope i can eventually decode/grasp the steps. i read the best workflow was to edit first, color-correct/degrain later so i’m now done with my nested multicam edit. does that change anything?

presuming it does not conflict with what you all suggest, then i just need to clarify my absolute simplest first step to get the camera 1 clips i need into AE. do i highlight all cam-1 tracks in the nested sequence to export only those or do i ignore PP and just load all cam-1 files directly into AE? that’s my question.

my assumption is that after i de-noise, render and export an intermediate file/codec with ‘Project Link’ option checked, and import back into PP, that PP is smart enough to recognize all these maneuvers to where the edited multicam sequence informs the PP renderer where to find all the pre-rendered AE files and know what to do with them (all invisible to me).

I have access to adobe suite i.e. speedgrade and after effects but have never used either tool.

I just got additional steps from Lynda.com which starts in PP and includes ‘right click on clip’ and choose ‘replace with after effects composition’. once fixed, the AE clip will appear in timeline as a new clip but isnt yet rendered. Will rendering take place in AE or PP?

the song tracks I laid in separately are the culprit, the ‘non-camera audio’ that did not get included in the ‘nest’. all solved thanks.

it does expand and I made the edit and verified it sounds great. but how do I get the edit to show up in multicam collapsed sequence after saving? it wont do it.
