Updated to Media Encoder 22.4 , now I cannot "interpret footage" (120fps proxy workflow)

[Jayke5E7C]

As my subject line says, I updated to 22.4 and now I do not have the option to "Interpret Footage" (it's greyed out) after I send my footage from Premiere Pro to Media Encoder. If you aren't familiar with the 120FPS workaround, I interpret 120fps footage to 23.976 in PP and in ME so I avoid the 60fps issue. I have now downgraded to (22.3.1) until there is a solution. Really hurts my workflow.

Actually I just updated ME and it's now back encoding the Proxy at 100fps?

Hey Fergus,

When is the new Update coming?

[Fergus H]

Here's what I said earlier: "The next version of Premiere will be available before the end of August."

[nickwall50]

Hey Fergus, So I see there is a new version but we still cannot get it, are we days or hours away, man I need this!

[nickwall50]

 It's September the 2nd. Are we close now?

[nickwall50]

September 3rd now Fergus, where's that update you spoke of??

[RRowly]

Hey Fergus,

Please can you also fix all the options with ingest setting for the proxies, alot of people create low res Pro Res from H.264 original source footage. alot of deliverables these days require vertical shot footage and even though the camera can tell if you are shooting vertical the proxies cannot.  Having a much wider choice of ingest presets would solve alot of problems especially with vertical 60/120fps for example

[Fergus H]

I would encourage you to make that feature request in the new Ideas section of this forum. 

Regards,

Fergus

Hi Fergus, It still doesn't work. I've tried to work around with your idea and it still grayed out?

[Fergus H]

The fix is in the latest beta and will ship in the next version of Premiere Pro. Check out the message that's marked as the answer in this thread. In short, you will no longer have to use the Interpret Footage option in Media Encoder, as if you make a framerate change in Premiere Pro via Interpret Footage, your proxies will match that.

I updated to the adobe media encoder 22.6 where it's supposed to fix this issue but I'm still having it encode in the native frame rate (60p) rather than my interpreted frame rate in Premiere (interpetted to 24p).  So when I toggle proxies it's still out of sync.  Also interpet in AME is still grayed out.  I used to just interpet in both Premiere and AME when I made proxies.  I checked Creative cloud and everything is up to date. 

[Fergus H]

Version 22.6 of both Media Encoder and Premiere Pro are required for this to be fixed. Premiere Pro v22.6 is not yet available. 

[hifocused]

Okay seems like Adobe would release them both at once.  I will be waiting. thank you for the reply.

@Fergus H Will the updated versions of Media Encorder and Premiere Pro also correct the existing problem with LUTs being applied to Sony FX6 MXF files being shot in sLog3? Thanks for any help.

[Fergus H]

Are you talking about when making proxies from those files? Or some other issue? 

[deniseh3245857]

I'm referring to the issue where the MXF files from Sony FX6 cameras shot in sLog are having a LUT placed on them in Premiere and in Media Encoder. We run our MXF files through Media Encoder to encode to ProRes, but that bakes the LUT into the file. The MXF file, when natively brought into Premiere, can be reverted to the Rec 709 color space using Interpret Footage, but that's not an option available in Media Encoder and with the LUT being applied, the footage looks horrible and blown out. We have a Sony FS7 and this is not an issue, so I'm not sure what the difference is between the two camera files.

[Fergus H]

Yes, that issue is fixed in v22.6. Premiere will send the Interpret Footage settings to Media Encoder.

[Robert Regan]

When can we download 22.6? It's still n/a all other apps updated

[David Hoare]

Same for me. When is 22.6 available? The internet is telling me it's available now, but it's not showing as available to me in my downloads.

[Robert Regan]

It's another issue Fergus, since Premiere 2022.

when you import Sony FX6 or FX9 rushes shot in Slog3 Premiere doesn't recognise them as this and applies a weird blown out Rec709 colour space.

You have to manually select - interrupter footage - and tell Premiere it's Rec709 colourspace (though it's not, it's Log) and then you can apply a LUT

This issue has been around for quite a few versions now, and needs fixing. If you could formally log it and do the same good work you did for this Proxy issue and get the fix into 22.7 that would be amazing

thanks for your help

cheers

[deniseh3245857]

Great, thank you for confirming. I appreciate it.

Hi @Fergus H,

Just wanted to check on the status of this Premiere update? (I've got a project which needs lots of these proxies made, so I've been holding off until the end of August update you mentioned to make things easy on me.)

Let me know, thanks!

Zach

[Fergus H]

Hi Zach, 

The new version of Premiere Pro, v22.6.1is now available. 

Regards,

Fergus

[nickwall50]

Where Fergus? why isn't my Creative Cloud showing an available update then? 

[nickwall50]

Mate this is getting very ridiculous, you are an Adobe Employee telling us there is a new version available yet there is still not? Where is this new version and when will it be available??????? Can you please update us?
