Hello,
I'm learning Media Encoder and Premier Pro so that I can protype, iterate and tell stories on a website now, and prep my media for a professional editor in the future.
I'm working with current versions of Adobe software,
using an Apple M1 Pro chip, Sonoma 14.6.1.
My media is filmed on two (2) Sony ILME 3 (422 & 4Ch audio) + up to six (6) Tentacle Track E recorders (32-bit float), and Tentacle Synch devices to generate TC for the cameras.
Tentacle produces a synch map, synching all cameras and all channels of audio, and exports an .XML for Premier Pro.
I drag and drop the .xml into my Premier Pro 2024,, and it ingests the footage.
Q.0 - do I need to use Tentacle synch mapping or can Premier Pro 2024 synch my daily shoot material just as easily as Tentacle Studio?
Assuming I continue using Tentacle Synch's Studio to make a synch map, and given that my computer is modestly powerful
Q 1. When should i make my proxies? should I make them first and then drag them into Tentacle studio and make the synchmap, and then use the synchmap to ingest the footage into Premier Pro 2024?
In other words, I don't use the H.264 original media in either ME or PP to offline but I can toggle the H.264 on when I want to online? - correct?
Q. 1 Some of my future colaborators are PC based, and we may edit on Adobe's cloud using productions: will ProRes or Cineform proxies allow both PC and Mac-based editors to work? Are there other advantages that recommend cineform over ProRes or is it mostly a preference. (I've always been mac-based but not everyone is.)
****Q.2 How many channels of audio should I have on my custom proxy preset: Four (4) for the camera set to record four-channel audio? OR
Four (4) for each camera = 8 ? + 6 tentacle trackEs = 14? if I want to be able isolate each channel of sound?
( two (2) cameras x 4 + six (6) tentacle recorders = 14)
32-bit float, because the Track Es are 32-bit float?
Q.3 I want my proxies to be light, because I'm preparing to work in the cloud using Premier Productions and because I'm shooting a lot.
I believe to do that, I start with the ProRes422 Proxy preset. Right? It's only for offline? and it is easy to switch to the original media when I'm ready to export.
Q. 4 when it comes time to ONLINE, do I link my picture locked video to the original Sony H.264 codec and export it using another apple preset at full resolution, so that I can colour it? What PreSet do I use at that time, to online on the same computer? does that depend on where I'm going to show my prototypes? -- ie. Vimeo = vimeo preset? Q. to use transcription is there any way for Adobe to be assigned to detect more than one language? or do I isolate by language, and transcribe in blocks, by language spoken.
Thank you so much.
