I don't see your screenshots but, in my experience, you cannot mix audio track types within the same clip in PP (as you can in Avid). This is a major PITA What you can do is duplicate the clip + modify it each time - so 1 clip is 16*mono, another instance is 8*stereo, a third has just your 5,1 source.

Found this in a search for UXP v CEP dev for a different idea. For which thanks for the correct answer Bruce! Woodced, your notes about timeline views vs Avid are still very apt and should be part of the PP UI itself. Avid kind of 'auto-centres' the track displays within the pane as you (more easily & with more granularity) shrink/enlarge tracks based on track lights. The 'save as' timeline display options seem more versatile but maybe that's just being used to them. I can't think how they are functionally different (although Avid has better display of clip metadata and waveforms I think). I use Taran's AHK scripts to right-click scroll anywhere in timeline & I think he has one for centring on selected items (or maybe thats a PP command now). I am very much in favour of an option where the timeline is displayed favouring the right too (simple percentage slider - 0% is playhead fully left, only timeline later in time displayed, 50% centred playhead, 100% - playhead is fully right, only timeline that has passed is displayed.

I'm having to remove 'alternate tape name' from dynamic media - as it is causing false positive for 'duplicate clip' indication in the timeline. However this change does not survive a restart of PP - any idea how to make the change more permenant? Or how the 'dynamic' metadata is derived? Thanks

Ideally they would modify regular app behaviour to allow avid style patching.. ie 1. make the toggle track patch dependent on bin/source or program/timeline having focus - so same shortcuts would toggle V1 A1 etc (as Avid works) 2. have an 'Autopatch' setting - see user voice requests for how this works in Avid

You can't both write to the same project but you can be in the same production. You can sync the production across the net. You must be aware that the .prlock files (that lock a project from being written to by more than one user) don't sync *instantly*. But it's all very workable - just done 3x docs shared between three edit stations.

I've been trying to get a similar thing working with ffmpeg, to edit with proxies then consolidated HiRes (remote sources, limited bandwidth). Just found your site & going to give it a go. One issue is going to be retaining source timecode for the relink to work. Another is dealing with J and L cuts and non sync audio (although possibly proxy audio could be full quality & I just consolidate video). But thanks for creating anyway

The 'default transitiion' part of it is a red herring. I stand by my assertion that it the 'to/from playhead' option (to emulate head/tail fade on Avid) is not fit for purpose. If you use it to apply a transition, you cannot then adjust the alignment (there is *no* material on the A side - hence black/silence). If you cut the transition and paste it to the same edit point then it becomes a normal transition, and alignment can be changed.

Nope default transition is Film dissolve first video and constant power dissolve for audio

The 'apply transition to/from playhead' does *not* work - it applies a fade to/from silence/black.

Looks like stereo tone in a mono timeline track? fine to adjust gain to make it -20 or double click source clip and set the gain of the generator

Depends what you mean by subtitle. You can use legacy titler, new titler (T tool), and (‘new captions..’) closed captions (608/708/Teletext/Open Subtitle/Australian - most with different tracks (CC1-4, Levels, Services) and Open Captions. The last is the best bet (open captions), although it’s not perfect. Also, if you render to certain codecs (AVCI 100) the captions don’t show. If you are using closed captions then you have to enable display of captions using wrench :wrench: in program monitor - selecting correct type (608/708 etc) and level (CC1 etc) in the settings menu just below the enable.

There’s a few bins I regularly use (VO / Captions / Selects) & can never figure a way to make them stick in place (I think ‘reveal in project’ uses a seemingly random one to navigate within project). So I’d like to use a keyboard shortcut to ‘goto’ a bin. Possible? Other workarounds? Thanks

Is there a ‘default’ setting for open captions? There’s (CC2020) still no easy way to copy/paste clip in timeline (results in instance that refers to original, so editing text changes both instances) or duplicate in project (editing text in duplicate does not show until PP is restarted). Open captions are neat, but half baked so far.

Sadly not. You can adjust the amount that shift &jog moves the timeline - which with autohotkey or similar you can then use to get a few alternatives. the simple elegance in Avid of using the enter key to repeat the distance jumped is sorely missed in other NLEs

Hi Kevin Thanks for taking the time to reply. The iMac is a 27” i7 5K I think (will check when I’m back in). Interested on how you recommend breaking projects apart - although this is really not a complicated project. It’s 95% from one days shoot. The workflow is such that one should be able to pick up the project in any of the attached edit rooms (though we do try & stay in the same room). May try the local proxies approach going forward, if I get time to generate them.

Freelance job: iMac 5k 32GB ram PP2019.1.3 Sources are AVCI MXF OP1a 1080/25P from Sony F5/FS7 & double system audio. Network shared storage (GB Space) There’s 2 sound recordings & 3 cams running & both source wav files come along for the ride (on muted tracks A11-20) for the dubbing mixer. Automatic waveform generation is turned off. All is fine as chapters are built but, as the show gets stitched together - and so both sequence length & size of project (inc pek cfm etc media files that are being managed) increases - so PP slows down and becomes less responsive. One way to get the longer sequences (only 30 mins of content though) to improve is to turn off waveforms. But it’s still a lot of spinning beach ball type waiting as ‘something’ is happening. I’ve also pared down the number of sound tracks ‘coming along for the ride’ on this latest show, hoping that will help too. a. Any other ideas for speed improvements as sequence/project grows in size? (already deleted media cache & reset prefs, can’t keep chapters in seperate projects although could break show into two halves with seperate projects). b. Does my habit of duping cuts at various points to keep a rollback version add to these problems ?(thinking aloud I may just start ‘exporting as pp project’ to keep old versions) c. It feels like systemic problems with the shared storage may be the issue (eg everything seems to slow down between 2 and 5pm when there’s likely to be more people on the system, all with timelines & projects that are more complex). Folks cut features in PP over months so a little 25min show cut in a week shouldn't be so taxing, right? Everywhere else I use PP the storage is either DAS or its Avid Nexis (so if folks are using GB Space with success or problems, please do chime in) Thanks for any help

You need to edit the source multican sequence to have the 4th camera available in existing edits. Nothing to stop you syncing all the cameras again and copy/pasting into the original multicam source sequence. Live dangerously

I presume you want to export them as a 6 channel discrete file with video? You can do this as (eg) prores QuickTime or DNx MXF. Your timeline needs to be set so that the 5.1 can pass through. Probably easiest in this case if your source files are modified (shift & g shortcut) to be ‘5.1’ rather than ‘mono’, and your sequence is also set to be 5.1. (Which will be created if you drag the modified source clip to the ‘new sequence’ icon.). Then your timeline should play with 6 audio tracks. Now you need to export & set the audio part to be multichannel. This is where the container will need to be multichannel capable. if you have problems post screenshots of where you are having issues.

You *can* edit immersive audio in pretty much any NLE. You won’t get true objects like Dolby Atmos but I suspect most Atmos audio is 5.1.4 or 7.1.4. What deliverable do the clubs require? I’d start there and work backwards. (eg I have a 5.1.8 deliverable, delivered as XAVC Class100 with 14 discrete channels.) You’ll need to get setup with a multichannel sequence & figure out bussing your timeline tracks to outputs, and how are you planning on monitoring the mix?

MyerPj wrote Trevor_Asq wrote I’ve never had problems just opening the project file in a text editor and changing the version number to ‘downgrade’ the project. You sure about that? Have you done it at all recently? The project is a compressed zip/gzip file with a .prproj extension. So if you 'just open' the project with a text editor you will see 'garbage', ie: the compressed file. If you open the project with 7-zip the file you see inside is an xml file without an extension. Therefore if you edit that file, you can see the third instance of the word 'version' points at the PP version it was last saved in. Setting that to a substantially lower number (like 1) and then re-gzip(ing) it will allow it to open in a lower version of PP after getting the message you must upgrade this project file and then PP handles that, not changing the original. Be aware, for non-supported featured being lost. For instance if you used the new type tool, and you open that project in a PP version that doesn't support that, those program features would be lost, etc... Still opens fine in BBEdit - haven't actually done a 'downgrade' for a few months and obvs may be dangerous, but has certainly been a get out of jail card in the past.
