Question

HOW CAN I CREATE GROUPED CROPS THAT UPDATE FOR ALL UNIQUE SHOTS AND IN ALL FORMATS ACROSS A PROJECT?

I would like to create a workflow for a project where the total deliverables is 400+

  1. Edit timelines at source resolution no cropping
  2. Timelines becomes a master 
  3. Each shot becomes cropped in all formats 
  4. Any crop that appears in one timeline in format (9x16 for example) should be matched automatically in the next instance of it appearing as a 9x16 in another edit
  5. Crops update as client makes crop amends

My initial thought is:

nest all shots from all Edit timelines into one Master source res timelines
rebuild all edits from this Master source res timeline with no scaling
duplicate master source res timline - crop to Format timelines
duplicate Edit timelines per crop

alt drag the crop timelines

But any better ideas are really welcome at this stage before I explore using Davinci scripts

    In Flame it looks to be called Connected Conform if that helps?

    Hi Odobe,

    Unless I’m misunderstanding you, this sounds more like a feature request for a centralized multi-format reframing workflow. The ability to define a crop/reframe once for a source clip and have it automatically propagate to every instance of that clip in a given aspect ratio would be a significant workflow improvement for high-volume deliverables. I'd encourage submitting this as a feature request, as it goes beyond Premiere's current nesting and Auto Reframe workflows.

     

    Thanks,
    Kevin
