We're creating an animated video series centred around disability and accessibility; the client requires that the video content is properly viewable by people with color blindness. Photoshop has accessibility tools that allow you to proof for the most common forms of color blindness (Protanopia and Deuteranopia). Is there something similar in AE, or possibly Premiere? If not, can anyone give me an idea of how to set up a LUT or adjustment layer preset that our artists can easily drop on top of their comps to check them for any potential issues?

Thanks, Mo. We're using 2017.2 (14.2.1.34), so this is a non-issue. After Effects is definitely not changing the cache location; unless the external cache is removed when the program starts up, it stays pointed to the external SSD drive.

So this old Mac Pro trashcan only has a 256GB Program Drive; it's pretty full. We've been using an external SSD as a cache drive for a couple of years now, and have pointed the Disk Cache, Conformed Media Cache, Scratch Disks, Media Cache, Media Cache Database, etc. to it -- basically every app we have that can be changed to use an external cache drive. I've just noticed that AE is still using the Program Drive as a cache, though. It slowly chews up the small amount of remaining disk space on the Program Drive, before throwing a "disk full" error. When I purge the memory and disk cache, I can watch in the Disk Info as the drive space is cleared. Can anyone explain to me what's going on, and how to change this behaviour? AE is 100% definitely set to use the external cache, so it's not a matter of the settings having reverted to the Program Drive. Is the "memory and disk cache" that can manually be purged via the edit menu somehow different from the disk cache that can be accessed through the Preferences?

I know I'm just reviving a necro post here, but figured I'd post in the hopes of saving some other poor soul from this hassle. The redefinery scripts have a ShapesToMask script that works like a charm. I'm not going to name names, here, but some people might even say that it handles the conversion exactly the way After Effects should have been doing it for the past, say, decade or so. The rd: scripts are free for everyone, though they encourage an in-kind donation to charity, if you feel so inclined. link: redefinery.com: rd: scripts

We rarely work with QT formats any more, so this tip might be hopelessly out of date; have you tried exporting h264 MP4s and just changing the file extension to .mov? We used to do that all the time, and rarely (if ever) had a problem.

It'll be really interesting to see what shakes down when Apple abandons Intel chips in favour of its own bespoke processors again. That could have a potentially huge impact on the pro apps as well... My best guess is that they'll only be sticking the iChips into their consumer-focused gear for the first couple of years, although they could potentially be targeting the re-designed 2019 Mac Pro tower for the big launch (?). It could be an opportunity for them to use it as a halo product... What are the odds that this ends up being a 'PowerPC ver 2.0' fiasco, with Apple straight-up lying about how fast their custom chips are...?

If you've been trolling through my old posts, then you've obviously figured out that we're moving to a Resolve-based workflow, although we keep Premiere around so that we can easily work with older projects; we maintain the subs primarily for AE, at this point.

We pay a hilarious amount of money to Adobe EVERY MONTH for the privilege of... software that won't even start...? How is that acceptable to anyone here? If I'm leasing a car and I can't even drive it off the lot because the engine won't turn over, I'm not going to shrug my shoulders and be, like, "OH TOYOTA, YOU LOVABLE SCAMP LOL THAT'S OK I'LL JUST KEEP DRIVING MY OLD CAR WHILE PAYING YOU EVERY MONTH FOR A CAR THAT DOESN'T WORK" Or, better yet, "IF THE BRAND NEW CAR I'M LEASING DOESN'T WORK, IT MUST BE MY FAULT...

YOU GUYS, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT ADOBE WANTS: POINTLESS INFIGHTING AMONGST OURSELVES! The real enemy we need to be fighting here is Adobe, with their stubborn refusal to do even the most basic QA testing on their products, forcing their paying customers (all of us, I assume...?) to be beta testers.

brainburst1 wrote A typical system most certainly is NOT a fresh system. For the last 3 years anyone on CC subscription will almost CERTAINLY have previous versions. Which is why I am calling it debugging malpractice if they don't test under conditions that will be true for the majority of their subscribers! +1 Doesn't Adobe itself recommend that you keep multiple versions of Premiere on their system, since they can't get the whole compatibility-between-versions thing sorted out...?

Orrrrrrrrrrrrr --- this may sound crazy, so please bear with me on this --- Adobe could have done the most basic QA testing (installing and starting up the app) and made sure it actually functioned properly before pushing the release, instead of forcing their paying customers to waste valuable time troubleshooting their broken code. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

HawkMM wrote Wow, talk about idiotic statements. "It works on my machine, so it must be everyone else's fault." You definitely win the a-hole prize of the day. You don't even say what operating system you're using. I'm guessing it's Windows 10, though, because the update works fine on my Windows 10 machine. However, my work issued Windows 7 64-bit laptop is like all of the other posts, it's generally Mac and Windows 7 experiencing the same failure to even effing launch. It's not our fault that Adobe didn't test launching the update on different platforms! My favorite part is when he claims that he had "no problems" with the update, then, two sentences later, talks about how he had to completely remove both Pr and Ae 2018 and 2017.1.2 in order to get the latest update to even install.

carlosz13485882 wrote I understand your frustration, but this is not true. try to focus and narrow down the causes that are the main reason for your problems. It is normal that all companies create their first updates as 'beta'... wait a bit before hitting that update button, otherwise, hitting update means you are ready to embrace the risks. Premiere Pro is now a huge software with so many capabilities, sound, motion graphics, team workflows, and all those strenuous parameters into the platform unlike any other NLE that focus on few things. Adobe wants to deliver the most for their clients, that is why these forums were created, to help Adobe in their really huge efforts that will take them maybe thousands of years without the comments from clients and the discussions between professionals on the forums. There is one issue that really bothers me now ... the libraries still not 100% active inside premiere pro ! We're talking about a seemingly widespread bug where the program in question won't even launch, though. Like, I can understand glitches involving obscure codecs and unusual use-cases -- they can't test for every eventuality -- but, I mean, did Adobe QA not even bother trying to launch the app before pushing the update.....? I just... I... I can't even wrap my head around that.

HawkMM wrote Adobe has the WORST quality control of any software company I have ever experienced. EVERY software update you have released in the past year has had MAJOR issues causing countless hours of customer frustrations. Thanks again for killing our productivity. I've been curious about this for years; @Kevin-Monahan, do you guys do, like, any QA testing at all before you push these updates...? The feature where you permanently deleted users' media when they had their media cache saved next to originals was bad enough, but a widespread bug where users can't even launch the app? How on earth does that get through QA........?

Thanks for the reply, ProDesignTools​. That's some straight-up —, right there.

Hi Victor, As TaranVH mentioned, Match Frame has nothing to do with framerates; it matches the frame that your sequence panel playhead is on back to the identical frame on the original source clip. Match Frame won't actually change any of your clip or sequence settings. Think of it like telling Premiere "hey, show me where this frame came from". The only way I know of changing the framerate of your clips is by interpreting the footage (explained by TaranVH above). I think I might know what issue you're having, but I'm not totally clear on what's happening in your project, based on your description. So, I'm working on a project right now using footage shot at 59.94. When I imported the footage into Premiere (dragging from the Media Browser panel), Premiere assumes that the framerate is 23.976, and plays the clip back in slow motion (I have no idea why it chose 23.976; maybe someone else can shed some light on that?). I'm cutting in 29.97, so I right-click on all of the footage in my bin and choose Modify > Interpret Footage; in there, I tell the footage to assume the frame rate 29.97. The clips play back at 50% speed (as 29.97 is exactly half of 59.94). Someone can correct me here, but if you shot at 50fps and Pr is playing the clips back at 25fps, they should be playing back at 50% speed, which would be really obvious when you're trying to edit. By the same token, if you change the interpretation of your 25fps footage to 50fps, it should play back at double speed (which is, I assume, totally not what you want). If everything is playing back at normal speed at 25fps, are you sure you shot it at 50p? The simplest explanation would be that you shot it in 50i, and Premiere is playing it back progressive (merging the two fields into a single frame). If your cut works properly in the 50fps sequence that Meg helped you create, I'd just export a 50fps file from it. I'm worried that if you start futzing around with interpreting the footage to a different framerate, you edit could wind up getting completely borked.

Stumbled across this thread while looking for an answer to a completely unrelated question. I had a similar issue with "replace with After Effects Composition" after Adobe somehow managed to bungle it with the 2017 release. Solution is in this thread. You'll need to bounce the footage back to AE again once you change your settings in Premiere, but once you've gotten that taken care of, everything should work properly again. Why on Earth does "Replacing With After Effects Composition" give me sequences in AE instead of clips?!

So I tried this out on a couple of different machines yesterday, and still have the same result (i.e. nothing...). It's got to be a workflow issue, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's my process in as much detail as possible: I'm in my Timeline panel, working with basic multi-cammed interview clips -- 2 cameras, video nested -- on V1 with a separate, offboard audio track from location sound on A1. As I'm playing through the interview, I'll select the video track and add a marker (usually with a KB shortcut, but sometime with the Add Marker button on the top L of the Timeline panel). The result is a marker added to the video clip only. It shows up in the Marker panel, where I double-click on the thumbnail to change the marker colour, exit from the dialogue box, then enter a comment in the text box in the Marker panel -- something like "My name is Frankie P. Cheesewinkle, and I moved here in 1997 to join the outlaw biker gang 'All's Gouda'". I continue playing the clip and adding markers using that same process, effectively giving us a super rough, basic transcription in the Marker panel. In editing, we sort the clips by colour to find different interview subjects. Clicking anywhere in the Marker panel doesn't move the playhead at all; I can edit the in/out times for each marker and edit the text, but nothing else happens when I click on the marker. Are you guys running Premiere 11.1.1, or an older version? This feels like a total n00b question, but what workflow do you guys use in order to get the markers to work properly?

I don't know if it's a settings issue on this end or what, but clicking on a marker in the Marker Panel absolutely does not cue the playhead on this machine. +1 on the functionality, though. Those would be super helpful features. I'd be happy with having the existing features actually work properly, for the time being... ETorr wrote A single-click on a marker in the Markers Panel cues the playhead. Would be great to add functionality to the Markers Panel: - Ability to sort by Marker Name, Marker Comment, In point, Out Point - Additional headers, sortable by those headers: Marker Duration (if any), Marker Color, Marker Type, and Any additional Custom-Defined Headers - Filterability of markers based on any of the above. - Ability to see markers across multiple bin items to increase power navigability

Thanks, Meg. This is kind of a roundabout way of doing what I'm looking for, and depends on all of the markers having unique keywords -- finding a specific clip about "cheese" in a feature-length documentary about, say, Fondue might be a little cumbersome. Ideally, what I'm looking for is something like this: Producer says, like, "why don't we try that clip where the outlaw biker talks about how much he likes eating cheese?" *sort markers by colour > red (the colour denoting that this is a clip from the biker) *3rd marker on the list is a comment marker: "i really like eating cheese" *click on marker or alt-click on marker or right-click on marker, select "Go to Marker" *Playhead jumps to clip on timeline, I grab it and drag it into its new place If you're familiar with the order and layout of the markers in your Marker panel, it's super quick to find a particular clip (marker)

We're working on a big project with something like 10 hours of raw interviews; we've gone through each of the interview clips and made notes/comments on the content using markers. The marker panel is a great way to quickly view the notes, sort the clips by general topic (a different marker colour for each topic). The hitch I'm hitting is finding that particular marker on the timeline... as we dice up the clips and shuffle the order around, it becomes increasingly difficult to figure out where a particular marker is located on the timeline -- I usually end up looking for all of the markers of a particular colour and hovering overtop to match the comments of the marker I'm looking for. Surely, there's an easy way to jump to a particular marker on the timeline? Ideally, what I'd like is to, say, right-click on an entry in the Marker panel, and have the playhead jump to that spot. Does something like that exist...?
