if you do happen to have a few bucks, and want something significantly automatic, you can try the borisFX Matt Assist ML for above.  works pretty well; Animated AI Masks in Mocha Pro 2025 - Object Brush & Matte Assist ML [Boris FX] Because you used a green screen, but with not perfect enough lighting, this tool should do an amazing job against the 'greenish' background, but it also works without a green screen to.   Something to consider   ...

I would be happy if only they allowed multiple jobs to be processed at the same time - meaning GPU affinity to a project plus the ability for additional project to be processed at the same time, with affinity to another discrete GPU.  To avoid being fancy trying to use multiple encoders to process the same project, I would settle for this GPU affinity method. ...

Kevin, everyone knows who you are!  but thank you for the introduction and the feedback. I look forward to the feedback,  I hoep there is a way for permiere and Media Encoder to use all the hardware available and get work done faster.   I have some work which is basicaly a simpel color grade, and minor tweaks to in/out points, an occasion stabilize or blur face and plates (Thank you Boris for the lastest updates in this area).  It woule benifit me if I can get 100% utilization accoss multiple encoder and decoders, in an ideal world 100% would be applied to the single process  being rendered, but if only one encoder can be used at a time, it would be nice for ME to spin up the second project and start processing that too as these projects for me are often only 1 video layer deep, I have plenty of RAM/DiskIO and CPU to process the other effects, but the encode one at a time I feel could be improved.      I feel that in an ideal world, have PP and ME able to understand and schedule resources to get to the faster render per project would be ideal for everyone, but a 'poor mans' win would the ability to process a work stream for each encoder one has. ...

Thanks @RjL190365 what you say makes sense (I think).   In my case,  the RTX 5090 has 2 encoders for encode and two for decode (maybe it it was 3?).   Since these encoders are all the same, and on the same GPU, and this GPU is the primary display - If I think I read your response correct, this will allow all the encoders to be used. while in Adobe premier.   The question had a slight twist to it, that I may not have been clear on, so I will attempt to refine the question here, you have  answered a significant portion of what I was lookign for, so thank you that.   The outstanding question would then be,  if I were to sent two projects to Media Encoder (ME), it would process each project one at a time, and it seems to be only able to support one project rendering at the same time.  In theory for the ENCODE portion,  if there was multiple tracks of video that needed decoding, apply the info you mentioned abobe, ME would decode multiple streams when/if applicable.   However,  would ME be able to starty processing a second project, and use the second endoder to process both encodes at the same time (assume you had no other bottle necks this should allow the jobs to complete faster than one at a time I hope).   I hope I was able to be more percise in my question. I welcome any clarifying questions if needed. ... View more

Neil; I'm testing with iPhone 14 footage, which the document says is supported in HLG2100. to make things simple for this discussion, 1) Sequence is a REC 709, with auto tone on 2) One Clip is a HLG2100 iphne 14, no interpretation done 3) Placed both videos on the time line,  th REC709 looks good enough 4) The iphone foot is overblown, but not as bad as with autotune off, no reasonable tweaking make it look like when I interpret the foot as REC709, and place it on the REC709 timeline,  I was HOPING autotune would make it easier to mix HLG with REC709, and export as REC709 without manually interpret all the footage every time (its annoying for a qucik and dirty project).   For examples  The postit note shows off the issue.... HLG CLIP on a HLG SEQ with autotone on:   HLG2100 on a REC 709 with Auto Tone on:   HLG2100 (Interpreted as REC709) on a REC 709 seq with Autotone on   the REC709 interpreted on the REC 709 seq is the most appealing and 'accurate' (without any attempt to color correct) to me. ...

I think the point everyone is trying to make is there is many ways to solve this.   You can use a clone effect, but its not built into premier.  I use BorisFX Continuum which has many tools in it, one of them is a clone, and you can track from where to clone to the new location.      The offer of a mask track and color correction is very viable, and the tools are built into prem pro.  If you want to use the other toosl, you have buy something.  Or you could do the trailer park way and make a PNG file that fits the area built from a screen grab, and manual morph it to fit as the neck moves and feather the edges enough so you cant notice.   My option, if you want the best job grab BorisFX, use the Mesh Track, and create a clean plate and use the insert module to insert and replace over the objectional area with the clean plate (or more than one of needed).  This would just require you to export a clean plate to be edited in Photo shop, and then brought back in to render withint he insert module.  BorisFC even has some built in options that allow you to manage the lighting changes over frames.   Second best way is to is clone tool within Boris, and track.   Third best way,  buy Boris Effects Silhouette and create the brush strokes to auto paint onto every frame (this could be better results than the mesh track, but listed as third because its more complex for most)   Forth way, because its free and will likly work relly good, track a matt and color correct, use the eye dropper etc.  This should produce very good results with not much skills required in terms of new tools and techniques.   What your asking for, there is no easy button, there is only the realativly easier button.  And depending on your skills, experiance and how picky you are each of these tools and methodes may be suitable.   Another simple (but pay for use tool) that may help you check out this video also: Reduce Blemishes and Even Out Skin Tone with Beauty Studio for Adobe - YouTube   ...

Whats the workflow for those of us that select a bunch of media and then click the "create new sequence from media"?  Will there be an option to use HLG media, and have it create a time line that can be converted to 709? for exporting?   I tried to read the notes above several times to follow along and It seems the current workflow is to create a timeline that is already Rec709, drag your clips to it, an it will then auto tone map...   I am hoping for a way to create a complaint REC709 timeline with HLG clips by using the create new seq from clips process as this saves me a the hassell of pickign resalutiosn etc in many cases.   I cant download and use the beta or I would check for this myself, I hope someone who has already used it can confirm.   Second question which is not clear,  can you create both a HLG and REC 709 export that is compliant and not blown out with this process?  basicaly built the project once, and export once (or twice) but get a REC 709 and a HLG project fromt he same timeline thats proper? ...

Niel; I was suggesting that one could only use ME to do exports and do away with the 'built in' exporter completely.  The only time I ever use the built in exporter is when ME is doing somethign that take a long time, and I want a quick little something else done thats short and quicker than what ever I have ME doing.   On that note, I htink Media encoder should be upgraded to allow more than one stream to be encoded at the same time, and also to pick/auto assign infinity to CPU's and GPUs.  There is plenty of time I could have benifited from a CPU heavy workload while the GPU was doing something also.  would be nice to have ME be able to do 2 or more streams to max out the system resources more.      My work around today is using ME for one workload, and premier to export another, but then I cant use premier for anything and would sometimes still like to.  ...

Great start, could also be a standard mapped short cut... at the same time;  I wonder why there is even the standard export when ME will do everything well - why do they bother to hang on to the premier export feature at all (could be replaced with ME and would we even miss it?). ... View more

I have a question, but I can't run the beta to test this autosave feature...  I hope someone else can comment on this. 1) When using warp stabilize, the save process is dramatically affected by home much warp stabilize data is inside the project.  My concern with a background autosave is that if there is 5 min of saving time will that prevent the user from using the machine for that 5 min like a normal Ctrl-S does currently? 2) if its autosaving in the background once of these larger project files with warp stabilize data, if it doesn't lock out editing activity while its savings will the process cause stutters in the playback or other issues?   I'm sure loading the beta and trying it would answer these questions for me, and I will try and find some time in the near future.  I am however concnered about the feature when paired with how long a CTRL-S currently takes when you have 30+ min of timeline stabilized.   p.s.  CTRL-S saves seem to be faster in the last couple of versions already, not sure if they were working on it or if I am imagining it, but still no improvement with warp stabilize heavy data in the project. ...

I just dropped in to say that the video card should be skipped in Favour of a 4000 series that was just announced.  It will have an AV1 encoder, which is going to (likely) be important within the life span of the machine you're building now:  I have a 3090 and I am dumping it to get the 4090 because of AV1 encoding (and I just want the new one as I have lots of need for Cuda cores, don't hate me for that 🙂 ).   Lots of stuff on the internet, but this should give you a 'jist' of why AV1 is important - hopefully adobe also steps up and supports it fully (sooner rather than later).
