For the love of God, what is the workflow for XAVC S 4k in PremierePro 2021
Hello everyone.
I bought a Sony HXR-NX80 4k Camcorder in Feb 2021, thinking it would save me time. It shoots proxies simultaneosly 720p, so I was thinking, "WOO HOO! Shoot, import, edit, export, and go for a much needed walk". Instead, Premiere Pro is playing back like it's dependant on a dialup 56k connection. Media Encoder spins for hours and hours with basic effects.
The Sony HXR-NX80 comes with a manual, but it never once mentions the files it creates on the SD Card. These files seem important, but after I copy the entire contents of the sd onto my external drive, I am I really supposed to dig into the card and impor the CLIP 4k footage? Then, 'attach proxies' from within Premiere to the SUB clip proxies created by the camera and START EDITING? This has proven very problematic. Premiere hates this footage.
What's wild is, Premiere doesn't know what kind of sequence to make when I drag the 4k native files into an empty sequence. It doesnt have a XAVC S sequence setting. I don't know what to create either! I mean, I know it's 4k UHD 3840 x 2160 at 23.976fps, 100Mbs (according to the manual). Am I really just choosings DSLR 1080p and modifying the pixel aspect to UHD?
Good lord, someone help me with this workflow so I can work in March 2021. I swear, it was easier 10 years ago.
The workflow starts by asking in the correct forum
