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.

Same for me. V22.5 says up to date..

Hi Fergus,

there is no new version of PPr available. It's really frustrating. When starts the roll out?

[Zvoss]

Thanks! However, I'm not seeing an update in my Creative Cloud?

[nickwall50]

Can u see it Zach?

[Zvoss]

Unfortantely, I cannot.

Just downloaded the update yesterday and the fix seems to be working great. Thanks @Fergus H

I don't have the option to update Priemere currently. I'm stuck on 22.5.0 with no option to update in Adobe Cloud. How are people getting this?

[Joost van der Hoeven]

Via Creative Cloud desktop app. Sometimes it helps restart your computer to trigger the updates.

I have the desktop app (Mac), stil not there. I spoke with Adobe tech support today and they mentioned 22.6 has been released in beta to select users, with the main patch being relased to the genreal public the end of September.

I'm on Mac, in Europe, and have the 26.x updates.

Hi all

The new version of Premiere and Media Encoder has indeed fixed the framerate issue, and you can just create proxies without any workaround - great 🙂

Is anyone else finding Media Encoder now totally chokes their CPU when encoding? I'm encoding using Mecury with a Vega II so the system should be fairly free, but it seems to be totally killing my RAM and CPU

Can anyone else let me know if they are experiencing this?

Mac Pro 2019, latest OS, latest Premiere and Media Encoder 22.6

Cheers

Rob

Seems to be when you create a large batch of proxies. If I try to do all my rushes, the CPU goes nuts, if I go folder by folder, it's fine.

[Robert Regan]

Is anyone experiencing an issue similar to this?

Media Encoder is barely useable for creating proxies for me

[STEVEN5C7C]

Can someone please put a cheat sheet in this sthread for the percentages you need to put in for speeding up / down the footages ? or am i missing the point and that doesn't need to be done anymore ? 

any video tuts on the new workflow with this new update ? 

[haydn5C5C]

You don't need to slow down your footage manually anymore, once you have your footage in your project, select all -> right click -> modify -> interpret footage -> and set the frame rate to whatever your main footage frame rate is (e.g. 25fps)

all of your 50fps (x2 slowmotion) 100fps (x4 slowmotion) or 200fps (x8 slowmotion) footage will now playback in slow-motion at 25fps.

If your sequence is set to 24fps and your main footage is 24fps, shoot slow-motion at 60 and 120fps, as they are mathematically compatible (e.g. 24 x 2.5 = 60)

Once you've interpret your footage, right click all clips -> create proxies.

your proxies will now also playback at 25 slow motion 🙂

Hey Fergus, I am not seeing this process work in the way you describe it. I have interpreted PP footage from 120 to 23.976 fps, and then, in Premiere, I select all of that footage and hope to create proxies for it in ME. When ME opens up, all of the files are registering as 120 fps still.
