I need to provide a transcript as part of my deliverables, and I will say that I was really impressed by the transcript tool *inside* of Premiere. If I could export that to a table or text file exactly as it appears inside of Premiere, with speaker and timecode, then my work would be done. As it stands I need to manually add the speakers and timecode. It's almost there! Just a little further! ... View more

Re: DJI - there are still posts about it all the time across various forums, so it's not old news to many. I wasn't commenting on the fidelity of your H265, just the optimization for post production. I'm sure they look great.  It seems like you have the answers so I don't know what else there is to offer. Look for the delta between when it was working and when it wasn't. Try a different version if the version has changed. For your original question it sounds like you have multiple fast options for your scratch disks, so there's not going to be any bottleneck when it comes to your media or cache.  ... View more

Seems wild to me, but if that's the experience you're having then enjoy it 🙂   You're saying that when you render the timeline it's not playing back smoothly? (Edit: Sorry I guess it's obvious that's what you're saying. Just confirming.)   What kind of video previews are you creating? All of the scratch disks you described sound fast enough to run most kinds of video previews that you could create. So to me it still sounds like it could be a source media issue. Where are these clips coming from?   Revisiting the HEVC/H265 thing. Are they variable framerate? What device are they coming from? DJI products are also notorious for their encoding. I've been doing this almost 20 years, and while DJI hasn't been around that whole time, I can tell you that any time I've ever used media from DJI the performance is extremely poor compared to even other unoptimized media of the same type. When they started implementing HEVC for 4k workflows it's now not uncommon to see hitching making its way into the final encodings. So if you're working with DJI media I'd also investigate that. Is it the playback that's having an issue? Or is it the video preview with hitching being encoded into it? Check the frame drop indicator in the Program Monitor. ... View more

Doesn't seem like any issue with your scratch. You are working with the worst possible media for real-time playback that exists on the market right now. Absolutely the most complex possible thing for a computer to decode (H265/HEVC), at a high resolution, unknown framertate, unknown whether or not there are other issues like VFR (from a phone). Even with a nice setup you are asking for trouble working with that. It's a losing battle to try to out-hardware media or workflow issues. But that's my experience. ... View more

It looks like you have Track Keyframes turned on for those tracks, judging by the keyframe envelope (line) that's going through all of the tracks versus just the clips. This makes it so that you're just editing that parameter on the track and you'll lose the ability to cut or manipulate the single clips. Change the track keyframe type back to Clip Keyframes. ...

I'm a touch confused about why you have a Mask on the Crop effect. That seems a little bit redundant and may be conflicting in an odd way. If you want to use a Mask instead of Crop, then put that on the Opacity effect and you don't need the Crop effect at all. Otherwise, if you want to use Crop, just use the Crop parameters.   Another alternative here is using a Track Matte. You would still need to use Transform of Offset (placed above the Track Matte Key effect) to do the movement. ... View more

Hmm. Well, I can tell you that there is no method of saving sets of in/out points. At least not natively.    You really have two options in terms of trying to batch encode things and that would be to commence the way you have been by setting in/out points in the sequence and queueing it up, or by breaking each of these videos out into its own sequence. Theoretically if you did that you could tweak whatever things you wanted and then send them to AME in one go, but you do have to decide which of those options is more convenient for you.     At a certain point I would think that you would not have a need to set custom in/out points for everything since you'd only be making small tweaks on specific videos and re-exporting those, right? Maybe I'm not grasping the full context of what you're trying to do because it seems easy enough to make a selection, hit / to set in/out points, CTRL M, name, queue. (The naming part would potentially be a bit more automatic if they were in their own sequences since it takes the sequence name.)   Also, I'm not familiar with the nested sequence bug you mentioned. What is that? ... View more

With the video being clear now, have you tried the proxies or media aside from your source? It looks like you have phone media, which is incredibly problematic to work with.     Ann's suggestion of a preferences reset may also be a good thing to try at this point, as well as a full cache clear. ...

Are the cameras recording to HEVC? It's a pretty challenging video codec to decode and while I don't believe I've heard of hitching making it into the export from those specific cameras, I've seen it happen on a lot on HEVC from DJI cameras, so it seems possible that it could be happening elsewhere. A couple of other things to try - and this is in the spirit of helping you get this project out the door as you may have some more troubleshooting to do if something else is wrong with your system. Just in case you didn't clear cache for all projects, be sure to do that: Clear Cache. Try exporting to a high quality master like Quicktime ProRes 422 Your source media is an incredibly complex codec, and you're exporting to a complex codec. Exporting to something easier for the computer to process where frames are rendered individually and not temporally compressed (compression over time) is one way to help take some pressure off. It's better when the source is also easier to process, but it's still good to help here. If the ProRes master doesn't work then the next thing I would suggest is Smart Rendering, specifically the hybrid version. It sounds a little like you were trying to use video previews so this might only be adding one step to the process that you hadn't done. Set your video previews to something high quality that supports smart rendering like Quicktime ProRes 422 Render your timeline When you export Check box for Use Previews Check box at the top for Match Sequence Settings (this has moved to the presets menu with the UI update but you said you're in an older version.)   Hopefully one of these things helps! ...

Hard to tell what you mean when you say camera here, but this is for capturing from tape. Like, you shot on an older camera that records to HDV tapes, you plug that in and play the tape on the camera while making footage out of it. This was what you used to have to do before you could just record digital media to flash drives on cameras, so this is an older part of the software and video editing in general now. As Neil said, Premiere is not a capture/recording software. It's editing software. ... View more
