Yep, I agree that default option should be to export Full Res. I have added your name to the request, Jim. ... View more

Did you create your Proxies with Premiere or with another application? "Relink others automatically" has some conditions in order to work (which Create Proxies accounts for). The Proxies must have names matching the Full Res/original with "_Proxy" appended to the name. e.g.: Full Res = scene01.mxf, Proxy = scene01_Proxy.mov. The Proxies should also be in a separate folder, preferably next to the Full Res/original clips. You then want to choose the first clip it asks to attach to and the others should automatically relink correctly. That said, there still may be some cases where you will have to attach one by one. If these conditions are not met, then there may be issues with the automatic relink. Hopefully this can be improved upon in the future.

QuickTime ProRes and GoPro CineForm presets are both good candidates for 8channel audio support. ... View more

One of the requirements of the new Proxy functionality in 2015.3 is that the audio channels match between the Full Res and Proxy clips. The H.264 export/transcode in Premiere/AME does not support 4 mono. I did note an issue with Create Proxies will create different number of audio channels (e.g.: 4 mono Full Res will result in 5.1 audio Proxy) and incorrectly auto-attaches the Proxy. Manual Attach Proxies and Reconnect Full Resolution Media will catch this audio channel mismatch that you noted. This issue is currently under investigation. A possible workaround would be to use QuickTime GoPro CineForm (as you have already noted), as it will support 4 mono audio channels. Other possible options would be QuickTime ProRes or DNxHD Op1a. ... View more

To be honest, the creative cloud is another part of the company that I have no real insight on. I think the intent is that it will automatically appear, but due to scheduling, etc., can't really say when each person's account would be updated. "Check for App Updates" is giving it a gentle nudge? ... View more

Within the Creative Cloud desktop app, did you try the "Check for App Updates" option? (upper right triangle). I was not seeing the update earlier today and just now I tried this again and the 2015.2 update showed up. ... View more

I wonder if somehow you are not getting the Dolby install dialog? Given your time sensitive situation, I would recommend you go back to the previous version of Premiere to finish your project. More info: Install a previous version of any Creative Cloud application Later, you can decide what timing is right for you to update and see if the same issue occurs. ... View more

.mts support should not be changed in the latest update CC2015.1. Do these files have Dolby AC3 audio? With the CC 2015.1 update, you now need to install the Dolby codec, which should be noted by a dialog when you attempt to import a clip. You will receive Premiere Pro dialog, "Dolby codec must be installed to use this feature. Click OK to install now." The other thing to try is to quit Premiere, delete your Media Cache files, launch Premiere and import the files again. You can also install a previous version of CC 2015.

One way to have drop shadow with mask: you could apply a Difference Matte, create a Mask and check Inverted. Then add Drop Shadow effect. Another way (from Ann Bens): I would copy/paste the mask to a color matte and put that under the clip. Move it left/right up/down and up the feather a bit. ... View more

I don't believe that CS6 had support for multiple audio tracks for MPEG files. I double-checked this file in CS6 and confirmed what you are seeing, only the first track is imported. I tried the same file in the latest version of Premiere (CC 2014 8.2) and the file imports with both audio tracks. You can try this for yourself with the trail version.

CC is a month to month or annual membership. For work in CS6, your .mp4 files stil have all the frames, it's just the playback that is not full frame rate. One possible workaround to the playback is to place your files in a TImeline Sequence, add an Adjustment layer in trck above and then add a Brightness & Contrast effect to the Adjustment layer, with both values set to zero (basically, file is unaffected but requires rendring). Render Effects in Work Area and now you should have full frame rate playback. If you want to convert the files, you could try exporting them to H.264 within Premiere or AME. There will be some generational loss, so you could try a sample export to see if the quality is acceptable to you. You could try Format: H.264, 1920x1080, Frame Rate: 50, Profile: High, Level:4.2, Bitrate Encoding: VBR 1 pass, Target Bitrate [Mbps]: 35, enable 'Use Maximum Render Quaility'. These settings closely match the attributes of your supplied file. And I think you already realize this, but if you continue to stay with CS6, then I would recommend that you record AVCHD. I hope this helps. ... View more

(downloaded your sample file. Thank you for proving that) It looks like CS6 does not have proper support for this file type. Normally, it would be imported by the MPEG importer, which provides excellent playback support. In the case of your file, the MPEG importer fails the file and it gets passed to the QuickTime importer, which although it supports the file, playback is not so good. If you do not have QuickTime installed, then Premiere fails to open the file at all, since the MPEG importer does not appear to support it. With CC, we have included a number of improvements and added support to the MPEG importer, and this file imports and plays at full frame rate (since it is being imported by the MPEG importer).

My apologies. I beleive I mixed up my versions for support. 5.5.x should support PCM audio. Thank you, Jeff. I have confirmed that I am indeed getting audio with files from a Sony NEX FS-100 camera, with CS5.5.2 on my systems. Oded, would it be possible to send me a sample file that exhibits this issue for you? Things to try are deleting your Media cache (Preferences > Media > Media Cache Database, click Clean button). Make certain that your copy of Premiere Pro is activated: check under Help menu you should see "Deactivate..." noted. Thank you. ... View more

Premiere Pro CS6 added support for AVCHD files with PCM audio, but this support is not in 5.5.x. AVCHD files with Dolby audio should be supported in CS5.5.x, though.
