Blckdrgn posted:I have a question that perhaps you guys would be able to help me with. I was working on a small video using captured footage from Dxtory that was captured using the x264vfw - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec. I opened it up in Premiere (5.5) and the length and audio is fine but the footage is all black. Am I missing a plug-in here? Or am I using the wrong tool for the job. This is really my first time using premiere so apologies if I'm retarded. Is premiere  ? Sometimes that can mess it up. It opens normally in quicktime player and stuff? You might want to try transcoding the footage to pro res or something and then try opening it.

Yuns posted:Premiere Pro CS6 claims its an unsupported format or damaged file when I try to import it into a project. Sony Vegas Pro and Davinci Resolve don't work on the file either. BUT After Effects digests and plays the file just fine. Try rendering it in uncompressed Quicktime out of AE. "Add to Render Queue" on the menu.

+1 for Adobe Prelude. I love that thing. It lets you pick out the best clips from long interviews so much faster than listening to them in Premiere. I was trying to convince a wedding editor that he wouldn't need to hire a rough cut editor if he had that software but he wouldn't listen.

thehustler posted:There's over 10 gig of ram in the Mac Pros of myself and my colleagues at my workplace and we use FCP7 for all our editing work. Is that RAM wasted? 32 bit applications can only use 4 gigs of ram effectively. I recently upgraded my work laptop from 8 gigs to 16 and I've been noticing some big performance gains and smoothness, especially in davinci resolve.

I've been trying to do more motion graphics work. See what you guys think. https://vimeo.com/62883890 pw: lynn This is with the after effects camera tracker. You really need a pretty well-lit and sharp focus scene for it to work well.

My DSLR leaks blue light automatically, sorry. I need to get it sent in for repair. Is Mocha pretty much the same to use? I've seen it there but never messed around with it.

Are you talking about a gopro hero 3 black with protune? Otherwise it shouldn't really need much. If you shot inside it's probably going to be underexposed, but you can't lift it that much.

AA is for Quitters posted:In Premiere (preferably going back to CS3 since that's what we edit the one show on. Don't ask) is there an easier way to mask something out of a shot than garbage matting it and animating the garbage matte? IE dude is wearing something we want covered, so I simply matted out a good section of his shirt, and laid it over top of what I wanted to cover and animated the matte to move with him. I wouldn't try this in premiere. This is a job for the tracker in after effects, mocha, or possibly the color keyer in colorista or davinci resolve.

powderific posted:If you have no goals whatsoever outside the school stuff, does it really matter? Why not just use whatever all your teachers are already using? Or whatever you like best. I'm not sure why you're worried about being more professional if you have no interest in being a professional. Premiere is popular with the DSLR crowd / people who dreaming of making real movies (myself included) I use it because it is like FCP7 and integrates with after effects very well. FCPX is getting more popular with many professionals who actually take the time to delve into it. Many say they can cut much faster on it than anything else. The rest of the industry [who probably only tried it once or twice] still says it's iMovie. Avid is supposedly losing market share? Dunno, never tried it, but I think most TV is still cut on Avid. It really doesn't matter what you choose. If you like iMovie and Macs stick with FCPX.

Have you guys tried the pancake timeline method in Premiere? It's pretty neat. Supposedly Fincher's editors for the social network and girl with the dragon tattoo used it. http://vashivisuals.com/adobe-cs6-5-editing-tips-for-music-videos/

I think it's supposed to be a cinematography / DP reel Raoul. I thought there were some really nice shots. Only thing I would say would be on some of the night close-ups like at 00:37 the skin tones look a tad green.

Premiere handles h264 just fine as they have said but I did notice it rendered prores much faster than h264 dlsr footage on a mac, even though the prores was 10 bit and much larger.

Trying out some parallax type animation with a still photo. Very time-consuming but when all you have is still photos for a project I think it's worth it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q4qEW1_3A0&hd=1

Does it happen every single time? Did you try shooting new footage and using different drives to render it out?

You could grade the DNGs in after effects' camera raw. It's exactly like lightroom but you can render out the resulting clip in any format you want.

Dillbag is right, don't switch mid-project, but I have opened many CS6 projects in CC and it works just fine. Footage looks good either way 1st AD. Did you light the interiors?

Buy this book: http://www.amazon.com/Blink-Eye-Revised-2nd-Edition/dp/1879505622 Read it, and read it some more. Learn the technical parts of editing from internet tutorials. I did this course though back when they were shooting on film and it really enabled my career: http://www.scps.nyu.edu/academics/departments/cada/academic-offerings/noncredit/certificate-in-filmmaking.html

Cyne posted:Oh yeah, that was a poor choice of words on my part. I just basically meant that would be his machine for the final edit / output and rendering, not necessarily finishing in the classical sense of the word. I definitely wouldn't want to use an iMac for serious color grading or anything like that. My iMac will play back 2.5k raw with a couple nodes on it in real time in davinci resolve.

Yip Yips posted:Shot in the dark Premiere question - I have audio from a recorder that seems to be recording slightly too slowly so it drifts out of sync from the footage and other recorder. I used a very small speed adjustment (like 100.03% small) to fix it and it works great in the timeline but when I export it it seems to just ignore the adjustment entirely. Are you exporting your final render at the same sample rate as your audio was originally? 48000 Hz versus 44100 etc.

Karthe posted:I hope this is the right thread for this, but I'm looking for intermediate video editing software recommendations for Windows, along the lines of Sony Movie Studio or Adobe Premier Elements. What would you guys recommend in the sub-$100 range? And I'm not all that attached to Adobe or Sony; however, the "best editing software" lists I find via Google don't have anything that look as usable as what Sony or Adobe offers. Have you tried Davinci Resolve Lite 11? It's free and fairly robust as an editor.

If you don't want to roundtrip to resolve for every single project just get Colorista / Looks. Almost all the functionality right inside premiere.

I've been very happy with my H6. It does have phantom power. I've never accidentally yanked an XLR out, but if your film students are total newbs it could be a consideration.

Greenplastic posted:Thanks, I think you're both right. I have 1 gig of VRAM - is that very low? For editing 1080p prores footage in shorter projects without a lot of effects you should be ok. (h264 compressed footage is harder on computer) 2gb video ram is generally the minimum for acceptable speeds - 4gb being preferred. If you are editing 4k and stuff, 4gb minimum for sure.
