hey everyone, I don't know if this has been fixed in Premiere 2018. (That's why I ended up here.) But I do have a workaround for the issue, and I can tell you what the issue is. THE PROBLEM: The proxy is made in Media Encoder, and the encoding assumes the frame rate of the original file. In theory, this is perfect, except that the sony codec doesn't talk too well to media encoder, and the frame rate on all slo-mo sony footage gets screwed up. RED footage, on the other hand doesn't have a problem. If you use proxies attached to the original source file, you will notice that when you toggle from the proxy to the original the frames will not match (that's the tell tale sign that your frame rates are not aligned). THE SOLUTION: You have to create your proxies in the project bin, not as an automatic ingest process. The reason is that you have to reinterpret the footage in media encoder. and here is the work around: you import your original footage to you PP project. You highlight the footage you are going to proxy. (i do one card at a time because it can bog down your computer too much) Right click on highlighted footage and go to: Proxy>CreateProxies A window will come up asking you to choose your proxy preset. This will launch media encoder. This is where the workaround happens... Media Encoder will load up all your footage into its query and once it is all loaded up will start to process it...NOW HIT THE STOP BUTTON! Once you've hit the stop button, highlight the first file that strated processing, right click it, and click on "reset status" Ok, now...highlight all the files in the query, right click, and go to "Modify>InterpretFootage change the source footage to 23.976 close everything up, and startup your processing again. You're frame rate will match, and the footage will play as it is supposed to. FINAL NOTE: For some reason Media Encoder starts up the batch jobs automatically, so there is no way to get around this "stopping the action" process. It is annoying, but the best workaround I have found yet. Just in case, I'll leave this link to my Sony A7Sii proxy preset in case anyone wants it. Dropbox - A7S Proxy.epr Hope this helps! JAdelR
