Firstly how many video and audio tracks do you have? If you have 2 video tracks with linked audio and you move the video track to another layer the audio track will remain on track 1 If you want to move V1 and A1 to V2 and A2 you need to create a A2 track first and then move it ... View more

Excellent. I dint look at your brush size etc so suggested a zero. With default brush size (a smaller size) zero allows continuous lines without breaking I agree with Ann Bens​ it's so much easier in AE and so much faster and fluid as well Mo ... View more

This I the track target. As you can see V1 (Video 1) is not highlighted in blue but A1 (Audio 1) is highlighted. Any footage brought in will only bring the audio onto the timeline on A1 as its the targeted track. Now that the V1 track is highlighted both video and audio will be brought onto the timeline. Please check if this is whats causing your problem and let us know. Thanks. Mo ... View more

Use the internal SSD for Premiere install. Use the external SSD as the scratch disk. If your internal SSD is big enough to copy the raw footage files to I would transfer them to the drive and start the edit. If you don't have enough space its fine to use the external drive for your scratch and media files. I however prefer not to have the scratch disk and media files on the same drive. Lots of data moving so I like to keep them separate. Once the project is done copy everything over to a drive for archiving ... View more

Another solution is to create a new sequence from your original footage and copy and paste the entire edit that went wrong onto that sequence. Presto. No more black bars ... View more

Thats a broad question indeed. My workflow is a s follows on one of my Mac Pros: 3 x Samsung EVO SSD's. One for OS, one for footage files brought into AE & NLE and the other as the scratch disk for PP, AE, C4D etc etc If your external SSD dies not house your OS as I expect it doesn't then use it as either the drive your footage is on (which will help with speed). Or if you have another SSD thats reading your footage files use that external as a Scratch Disk I think you probably will be using it to store footage files and read from that. Please let me know Thanks Mo ... View more

Hi sorry didn’t notice the version. In any case thie value change in opacity should not be occurring. I don’t see any frame rate changes in the video the OP posted and he is using pas files which are static images which won’t affect frame rate. The only other possibility is that frame rate was changed during the course of the project that’s not evident on his YouTube clip. OP can you elaborate on this ... View more

I don't understand what you need help with. Could you kindly explain the problem in more detail or post a vid of it ... View more

I have had a look at the vid in detail and see that its psd's on the layers that are somehow changing opacity values. This rules out the possibility that frame rates do not match the sequence. Keyframes work independently and hold their values unless told to change. They do not magically change lol. These are static images so the opacity change issue should not be happening whatsoever. Its a strange one that  I haven't seen happen on any version of AE before. Perhaps CC2019 is causing this somehow. As a temp fix I would reset or trash preference files completely and see what happens. Should this not work I would recommend either a role back to CC2018 or waiting for Adobe to release a patch for the bugs CC2019 is experiencing. Let me know how it goes. Mo ... View more

Oliver in my opinion I would role back to CC2018 should you be on a mission critical project. The Lumetri coloring you did might go off slightly buy it should be a relatively easy fix. Once Adobe looks at the issues and releases a patch update all should stabilize. ... View more

CBR is Constant Bit Rate, VBR is Variable Bit Rate. In a CBR MPEG stream the encoder uses the same amount of bits for every second of video. So if you set it to CBR with a bit rate of 5Mb/s all of the video will be encoded using 5 megabits per second. A 2 pass is always better (although longer render time) as the 1st pass is analyzing your project and the 2nd pass actually executes the compression. Better results using 2 pass. During a VBR encoding process the bitrate of the media file will dynamically increase or decrease depending on the media files bitrate needs. VBR takes longer to encode but produces the most favorable results as the quality of the  media file is superior. VBR is most commonly used for http delivery if video content (http progressive) When it comes to selecting VBR vs. CBR, It is almost always recommended that you use VBR encoding for your media files as it provides higher quality files. We would suggest that you do not use CBR unless you have a specific need for playback on a device that only supports CBR. So you should try the following workflow: 1. Use VBR 2 Pass (remember longer render times) 2. Diable Max Depth 3. Enable Max Quality 4. In my experience if you have all your drivers updated and use hardware acceleration having both ticked shouldn't change gamma. I use this for all my projects and never ran into gamma or any issues, But this is was on CC2018, CC2019 might have changes a few things, Trust this helps you and gets you back on track Mo ...
