Is there still no way to create a proxy render preset that lets you match audio settings, and set the resolution of only one side while keeping the aspect ratio?
It really sucks to send a bunch of files to media encoder, not realizing that some of the files weren't recorded with audio in the camera. Premiere doesn't both checking the files against each other, so it renders them, then tells you that you can't use the file as a proxy because the audio doesn't match. The same goes for when someone uses Canon and records 4 channel audio even though they aren't using it. (Very annoying)
It just doesn't make much sense that you need to create different presets for Every change other than framerate. I've got a 16:9 and 17:9 preset for h.264, h.265, a couple proRes sizes, etc. And if I have an audio mismatch, I've got to create another one?
Am I missing something? I am currently looking into a way to just have some watch folders using ffmpeg instead because you Can do that. Unfortunately, Premiere is really picky with which settings you need in order to be somewhat optimized. We use H.264 when working remote, and only create edit proxies when needed. I'd rather use Media Encoder though, since Premiere already reads those files and edits smoothly. I found a Reddit post that suggested Adobe uses a different package type, which ffmpeg can do, but not identify or something.
I would Really like a solution to create files that will edit ok in terms of just playing back smoothly. And we need it to be something like h.264 or h.265 so we can sync the footage remotely easily.
Have something to add?
