The thing is that Metadata is a double edged sword. While it gives us a lot of extra information, any manufacturer can create their own keys. It is then up to the folks at Adobe to figure out what to do with that data. Camera manufacturers are forever adding their own info into metadata, but if Adobe does not know about or they get the info wrong then we are in this position. Kevin ... View more

It worked in 2017. The same exact clip imports perfectly into 2017, but not in 2018. It probably happened when they rewrote the QT importer module. I don't see what you are referring to in the video section of the example I gave. besides the image is not rotated. It is actually known as Sensor Flipped on the Arri. That means it is both rotated 180 degrees and Flipped so a rotation flag is not going to solve the problem. That is why when a 2017 project with these clips is imported into a 2018 project they are still upside down. This shows to me that they actually dropped the flag for the clip itself. Kevin ...

You are correct about the Copy paste attributes, but when you send it to Resolve from premiere it makes a mess because Resolve reads the Meta data correctly then premiere messes up the transforms and passes it through the xml to Resolve. The only choice is to then have resolve ignore Premiere's transforms. If you have reframed the shots in anyway or flipped them then you have to do it all over again Kevin ... View more

I know you are only support, and I am grateful anyone actually answers our questions here. I just think there is a fundamental lack of understanding the kind of work professionals do. Not everyone works in 30 second spots, or music videos. For years adobe wanted to attract the Long form editors. That includes Documentaries and Feature Films. I am lucky enough to be one of those editors. I have spent years slogging my way from AVID, to EDIT, to SpeedRazor (yeah I said it), Back to AVID, to Final Cut, to Smoke , and to Premiere. The Key to anything in all of this is organization. Currently I have a Documentary with approximately 540 hours of footage and more titles and graphics than anyone should be allowed, and A Feature Film with 11.5 TB of Footage and consisting of about 2500 shots. Efficiency in managing this is the only way it works. I rely heavily on my assistant to get everything I need for a scene in bins correctly. My Project windows are a textbook example for hyper organization.  When a director calls for a shot I have it right there and I don't have to go searching for it. It's these basic fundamentals we do not need adobe leaving out of products. It's what turned everyone off from Final Cut X. I was happy to find adobe re writing the Inscriber cousin that is Legacy Title. (Inscriber is a title tool going all the way back to the targa Framebuffer) Lord knows the title tool needs animation, and a method for sending it to After effects. Just make it an asset in the project that we can easily get to and change. there is no such thing as a next title tool unless we go back to the method of holding a single track for graphics like the old Premiere did with 2 video tracks and a graphics track.

jstrawn  wrote https://forums.adobe.com/people/Mobius+Strip   wrote Why, why, why are titles and other graphics that appear in the timeline not in the bin? It seems that everyone is dodging this question, which is fundamental. Why are these assets missing from the bin? If by 'bin' you mean the Project Panel (Legacy Titles do not get created into bins by default either), Graphics are not stored there upon creation because it is not needed. All of the legacy titles I have ever created get created in the project panel, that is why it asks you to name them. As a matter of fact I always make sure I have my titles folder selected in the project panel before I create a new one. Maybe there is a checkbox I checked when premiere came out and the earth cooled. If there is the new graphics should have the same checkbox. The fact that you think it is not needed is just flat out wrong. At midnight a client calls "I want all of my title fonts changed in my 3 hour documentary, and I need a new version for a 9 am meeting." (real fact pattern here) Am I going to scroll through the documentary and find all of my titles? NO I am going to my bin, double click on each one, change the font and check the formatting. Hit render, go to sleep on my sofa in my suite, and send it when it is done. Kevin ... View more

I have been staying out of the frey on this one, but now I have to actually use this tool. My biggest gripe that has not been addressed is the lack of multiple tabs.

A couple of things about closed caption tracks in QT files. They are extremely timecode dependent. i.e. You have a video on a timeline that starts at the 1 hour mark. You make a QT file that can contain TC and send it out to be captioned. They create the Caption file based on this time code. You get the caption file back. You take a pre rendered version of your mov and put it on a new timeline that starts at zero. import the captions and lay them over the track. Turn on captions in premiere to check them. All looks good. Now if you are like me and need to be able to send the video out via SDI in the VANC then I play this back and I get no captions on my external device. That is because the captions are in a data stream that happens to be playing at the same time as the video. TC is also a stream. IF the TC and the Caption time codes don't line up the captions are either out of synch or not there. If the timecode is now Zero based as in my example above then the captions are simply waiting for the 1 hour mark to show up. I have confirmed this on some high end testing equipment analyzing all of the streams of data. Care must be given that all TC's frame rates and standards are strictly adhered to at all times for CC to work. It's much more complicated than in the old days when it was embedded into line 21 of the video. Kevin By the Way despite apple having dropping support for QT 7, it remains the best tool along with media info to be able to look at all of the data, Video, and TC tracks in a QT file. Mediainfo also allows you to look at all video files and give you the info as to what the file actually contains. ... View more

Ok so lets take this one step at a time and see where it goes. If you would like to send me your project file I can help you get it straightened out pretty fast. No media is needed. Start by creating a 1920 x 1080 sequence using an XDcam HD422 Preset. Take your 4K sequence and drop it in this sequence, and don't have it reset the settings. Then place your Closed caption track on this sequence. The frame rates must match. Once you have done that export a QT MOV using the XDCAM codec and embed your captions. several things you have to consider with captions.the caption data comes before the video in time, so you can not have a caption start on the first frame of your video. Stolen Directly from Jason Livingston "CEA-608 has very limited bandwidth, and captions must be transmitted over many frames. Roughly it takes a minimum of: (total number of characters / 2) + (number of rows) + 3 frames in order to transmit a pop-on caption. The whole caption must be sent before it can pop on. This data can't be sent prior to the program start time, since those frames get chopped off by the TV station (the data would be lost which destroys the first caption). So if you have a commercial spot with rapid dialogue starting right at the first frame, it is inevitable that the first pop-on caption will be delayed. Captions can also be delayed if you have a very high words per minute (WPM), like an area with very dense dialogue, so the delay in the first caption can have a ripple down effect that delays all of the captions." Hope this helps. Kevin Christopher kevin@agistudios.com ... View more
