I need to transfer my project from Premiere for coloring in Davinci resolve. Unfortuantely the speed adjustments applied to particular clips are not captured in the XML file that is generated, and therefore they are not applied correctly in the edit inside of DR.    I'm trying to find a straight foward way to "bake" the speed adjustments into these clips, without going through a repeating process of setting in/out points and rendering each section of the sequence. I have tried "render and replace" with little success, which was what I had hoped would work.   Each clip has the speed adjusted via the Speed/Duration setting. I'll select render and replace and the clip reimports, and then reapplies the effect, so it is basically ignoring the clip based setting. It does note that time-remapping doesn't apply to clips either, so I didn't try that approach.   Appreciate any suggestions that might streamline this process....    Thanks!   ... View more

PLEASE can we incorporate folders in Adobe Audition for basic organization! We need to properly collect similar audio assets together, the majority of which have very disimilar file names, into nicely organized folders so that sound design isn't a completely nightmare in Audition. ... View more

Hi folks, we're experience a really strange issue with the Posterize Time effect, and at the worst possible moment for the project.   The addition of Posterize Time over some nested Pre-comps causes the layers in those pre-comps to become out of sync or "time slip".    Quick summary of set up: We have a 23.976 pre-comp ("comp A"), dropped into a main composition ("comp B"), of the same dimensions and frame-rate. Inside comp A, we have several animated layers which are tracked over live-action footage. Some layers are manually key-framed, but in all instances the motion is synced and plays back as expected if we maintain the full-frame rate.   When we add Posterize Time effect to comp A's layer directly, OR as an adjustment layer in comp B, so it effects all the comps below, such as comp A, it causes the content in comp A to shift out of sync. For instance it might shift our live action a few frames forward and the tracked / composited laters a couple frames earlier.   Our expectations are that comp A layer should be treated as "footage" in comp B, and it should, in effect, "flatten" all the laters inside comp A and any posterization would be applied uniformly. We don't care what frames it drops, as long as they are done together. Also worth noting that we do not have collapse transformations enabled.   Attempts to solve have included:   Nesting comp B into another comp and applying the effect to the whole sequence Using expressions to Posterize Time Interestingly enough, dropping comp A into a comp that itself has a lower frame rate, rather than using the Posterize Time effect, also produces this problem. Which partially eliminates Posterize Time as the main culprit but doesn't really shed any light on to the root cause. Also worth noting this effects ALL comps that any animated content on top of footage that should remain in sync.   The only solution we have is to pre-render each of these comps, bring them back in and THEN drop their frame rate, but we're really trying to avoid that at the moment – we're neck deep in client rounds of feedback.   For what it's worth I've attached two images of the problem. What you are seeing is comp A, with and without the posterize time effect enabled. The pencils should not be separated from eachother.   Appreciate any help!   *After Effects 24.5.0 (Build 52) Mac Studio Ultra ... View more

The problem we are running into happens when you take a graded copy of the original source clips and drag them from the Bin to the timeline to replace the existing clip, the existing speed is not maintained. If the clip is at 100% speed this works fine. If it's been adjusted to anything else, it doesn't properly apply the existing speed change and therefore messes up the in/out point of the clip.   The workflow that this affects is that we color grade our footage outside of Premiere. Duplicate our sequence to be our "fine cut" and then go across the timeline to each piece of footage and replace with the associated graded version of that clip. The drag and drop method has you hold down Shift+Opt while dragging over the existing footage in the timeline.    The only solution is to: temporarily drag the existing clip into the track above change speed to 100% drag / replace from the bin with new clip change the speed back to previous (ex. 150%) drag clip back down into video track   Apart from being a waste of time to do those steps, occasionally it has been not clear that a clip has had a speed change performed – especially if you have a lot of dense edits together, and if you aren't zoomed in close enough on the timeline you don't see the (%) change listed on the clip name. And a couple of times a few have slipped through the tracks and we haven't caught it.    Please look into addressing this issue, where dragging an identical clip of size/length over the existing clip inherits and of the changes made to. It already does this for the transform properties. Please adjust for speed as well.   Thank you! Stephen   ... View more

I'm running into an issue where selecting multiple cuts of the same source clip and performing a Shift-Option replace does not maintain the original in / out points of those clips in the timeline. If I select each indivdually, the replacement works flawlessly.    Example, I have a :30 clip called "CamA" cut into 5 different pieces, making a shorter cutdown edit.  If select all 5 of those clips in the timeline and try to drop my "CamA_Graded" video on all 5 at the same time, by the time I get to the second clip in that sequence the dialog is already drifting slightly, to the point where everything shifts out of alignment.   Our workflow has evolved recently where we have our source cam footage being graded outside of our main Premiere edit. These clips are identical to the ones used in the edit, and as I stated before if I do each one indivdual, there are no issues at all.    This feels like a pretty dramatic bug, but just incase there's a stupid toggle somewhere that I'm missing, I figured I'd post to the community first – I can't believe I'm the only one who's encountered this.   Using Pr 2024 on a Mac Studio Ultra ...

I've been working in the latest version of Premiere Pro on Mac OS / Mac Studio M1 Ultra. All my sequences have ProRes RAW footage in timelines, 4k / 23,976. The sequences are setup using the ProRes RAW preset. I have been able to edit and play back these sequences without issue each time I open the project, but for a limited time only. I have not been able to nail down the combination of steps that causes everything to stop working, but consistently playback will freeze. Where I can not hit "play" in the program monitor. The button will change to a stop icon, nothing plays. Sometimes only audio, but no video. Further more, as you scrub to a new section the video does not change. The thumbnail previews in the Video layer does not update.    At this point I have no choice but to close the project and quit the application. Every time I do this, Premiere will hang, and I have to Force Quit. This generates a crash dialog, which I've sent at least 100+ to Adobe at this point.    Steps to try to resolve. I've tried clearing Media Cache folders Tried a different drive for the media cache, and reset it to my internal hard drive Restarting the computer does not prolong this from happening. It might work for 30 mins or 5... Does not seem to have any thing to do with any effects or plugins applied to footage. Problem existed while I was doing the original edit.   I have not tried to uninstall / reinstall. I'm in the midst of a deadline and worried this will actually make things even worse. At least now, inspite of the constant disruptions, I can chip away at it and get this out the door.   Hoping maybe someone expereinced something simliar to this and narrowed down the solution!   Thank you ...

Was frustrated to find out that my After Effects automatically updated a day ago, depsite having all the pro video apps (PR, AE, ME, AU) all disabled from the Auto-Updates section in the preferences. This created a bit of a hiccup when trying to work with a file on a second machine in a bit of a crunch.   Anyone else experiencing this issue?   Stephen ... View more

Hello friends!    I've been trying to nail down some "go to" settings for the multi-band compressor in Audition, applied specifically to my VO tracks. I know that this is largely subjective, but I'd love some foundational settings that I can build on. I have done a bit of research on this, and most of what I find is more for vocals and not so much narration. I'm sure that my frequency levels are not correct for most voice ranges. I also find that I'm making a lot of my voices more harsh rather than just having a good presence.    Would be grateful for any recommendations / screenshots of settings, etc. that you are willing to share here.   Many thnaks!
