Hi All,

 

I would be very apprecative if somone can tell me what's goign on when import footage and get edge artefacts not seen in the original footage as seen below. This is showing in the source monitor and is 100% not present in the original files.

 

I'm already on sofware playback only etc.

 

Any heklp appreciated as i'm right in the middle of this shoot.

 

Thanks,

 

Simon

It may have to do with your media color space.

Worth a try: Context-click a problem clip in the bin and choose Modify>Interpret Footage. Check the color management section to see if all is well. If you are using bog-standard HD footage, you may need to override the color space to rec 709.

I exported the file and it seems fine. So the original file is fine, it has visible artefacts when imported into premiere but once exported out seems fine once again.

It's not 10 bit XAVC, it's Pro Res 422HQ recordedd straight into a recorder.

 


Apparently I misunderstood. And you are correct that CS6 should be able to play back pure ProRes files on a Mac. But that's not the assumption I was working under. Apologies if I got it wrong. 

 

And it's highly likely that a recent version of Resolve may perform better than an old CS6 version of Pr. Within the limits of your time and budget, you should at least try the latest version of Pr before you abandon it completely. If you've already done that or just don't want to, then I hope Resolve or FCPX or something else does the job for you.


Si basically back to square one. I have a prores material that in the past has worked in an NLE designed for it that can't be played back or viewed properly without displaying artefacts that the NLE itself causes.

 

And no one can figure out the reason why ?

 

People have been playing ProRes in Adobe products for decades but alas this issues seems to have escaped the community.

 

Leanardo, where are you ??
