Question

Can Premiere Pro match Modify Interpret Settings for Proxies already generated from camera?

I am beginning logging footage shot on a Canon EOS C70.

In addition to the RAW footage, the camera also generated corresponding Proxy files.


The majority of the footage was shot in 60P (NOT Slow&Fast Motion).

After I have attached the proxies, my process involves interpreting the raw footage to 23.976.


Unfortunately, when I toggle the proxies in my timeline, it resorts to playing them back in their native format. This results not only realtime playback, but also the footage "Freeze-framing" before the clip duration ends.

How can I have premiere modify-> Interpret the proxy footage of the proxies, just like it does with the RAW files? If Premiere claims to have proxy support, I belive this should have happened automatically when interpreting the RAW footage. 

Thank you for your reponse.

Unfortunately, Premiere Pro does not support modifying frame rates for clips with proxies attached. However, there is a workaround that you can use to achieve your desired playback speed.

 

You can adjust the playback speed in either the timeline or the project panel. To do this, select the clip and then choose Clip > Speed/Duration.

 

For example, if you have a clip shot at 60 fps but you want it to play at 23.976 fps, you can calculate the speed directly in the Speed/Duration window by typing 23.976/60*100 (which equals 39.96%).

 

This allows you to adjust the playback speed while keeping the proxy in sync with the original media.

 

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Cheers,

Thanks. This introduces two annoyances:

1. I can't review footage in the Source Monitor in slow mo (in order to pull selects)
2. Now that I have to pull selects in the timeline, I have to manually Right Click -> Speed Duration for each one. Why can't I select all? I can, but then I'd still have to manually extend each individual clip because the length matches the original duration when it was playing in realtime.

Is there another workaround or alternative to avoid this?

The third annoyance is now that I have to nest any clip I want to stabilize.
