Compressor and Premiere

[tomc70524504]

Hi. I've been using Compressor to make proxies - becasue it's faster than media encoder on my iMac - however recently premiere has stopped recognisong the files. Has anyone had a similar issue?

I've attached file details. I suspect it relates to comrpessor updating to include some weird mac format (apcs) as default whihc other programmes can't recognise yet.

This might work:  try relinking the clips to the "proxies"  rather than attaching the proxies.  Then when you're ready to finish, relink to the camera original...  Of course, do a test with one or 2 clips to see if this works (relinking to the proxy and then back to the camera original).

Hi,

I have the same problem in AE, I received some ProRes Proxies done in Compressor and they are not importing (error 86::1).
Since they are 4tb of video, I'd like to avoid re-encoding everything, is there a workaround?

you might want to post this in the aftereffects forum...   but drop a file in to media info

https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download

and tell us the important stuff.  and what was the original format the proxies were made from?  and did the original format import into aftereffects without issue?

Hi, problem is the same in Premiere so it fits also here.

Media was Apple ProRes 422 Proxy preset from Apple compressor.

I am already in touch with Adobe Support Team and already provided a reference media.

Seems that the problem is with a new header that Apple software puts into prores files.

Temporarily solved the problem re-encoding everything in Dnx from Resolve (which opened the same proxies without problems).

Thanks.

thanks for telling us what's been going on.  Sounds like apple, changing something that reduces compatability in nonapple programs...

Hi Andy,

I ended up having to do the same thing except in Media Encoder. I was getting MXF files working out of  Compressor however. Hopefully Apple fix it soon!
