clip stops playing midway premiere pro after adding lumetri color

[Finlay Films]

I am having serious problems trying to edit my video. Firstly the app kept crashing, I would close it and then I would have to restart my laptop.

Then I created a new sequence and then added in the clips but I seem to be having problems on drone clips, I know the codec is high but I wasn't not having issues prior to this.

Please see the below screen recording.

Every time I color edit the clip just freezes.

Can anybody please advise as I need to deliver to my client this weekend.

Thank you,

David

I think you might be working with a lot of H.264/265 clips there, long-GOP media. You have several options:

- transcoding it to a full intraframe like say ProRes Lt (propbably adequate for your needs);

- creating proxies in Premiere for work during playback;

- render & replace the sequence to a full intrframe codec like again ProResLt, then export to that, with re-import set.

Use that exported/reimported file as a master to make H.264 exports or whatever other deliverables you need.

Thanks Neil.

how can I transcode to ProRes Lt?

[R Neil Haugen]

Either in MediaEncoder or Premiere.

Select the media in MediaEncoder, and apply a ProRes Lt preset to it. (I'd tend to do it in Me). Then adjust the settings if you wish. You can do a full folder or folders of media in batches.

I assume thats correct below? Once they are converted I just relink to those files and use them in the project yes?

Thanks for the help,

That's to ProRes Proxy, which is a bit "lighter" than Lt ... but it's the same process.

Ok thanks, thats the only ProRes Lt preset I can see

[R Neil Haugen]

These are the ProRes encoding presets that MediaEncoder has on my Win10 machine ...

Thank you so much. You've been a great help. I found them. One more question, what is the difference between the quicktime and apple formats? 

[R Neil Haugen]

Good question. No clue!
