I'm finaly taking the time to write a bug report here, after dealing with this for at least 5 years...   Here is a link to a Premiere Project, and several output tests that illustrate this issue. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/151vQvjwoZjMOAZL2e88saAxQS9UaDbmF?usp=sharing   Nesting a sequence that has transform animations with shutter angle motion blur produces errors. For example, scaling up from 0 to 100 %, the first frame that the layer is present in will reveal the layer at 100%, then flicker off to 0, and then run the animation.   The work arround is to render with CPU only, in either Premiere or Media Encoder- which I don't have to tell you how expensive that decision is on render times.   I keep getting lured into using the Transform effect in Premiere, due to its handy AE style auto motion blur calculations... For very simple graphic builds that I can (or have been specificaly requested by my client  to) create all within Premeiere, I'll sometimes make the fools mistake of using this effect. It comes back to haunt me whem I'm QCing outputs. I see numerous posts about related issues, and one I have come across is the use of Transform Effect use, in conjunction with a drop shaddow effect, and 3rd party transitions (wipes etc that have blur in them). The result is that for the transition area, the position gets offset, and then jarringly repositions to where it should be. This is clearly on the radar, and it would be great to have this effect actually just work as expected in our modern GPU accelerated world. Or maybe better yet, just integrate AE style motionblur rendering into sequence settings, or clip settings (as per time interpolation). Thanks! ... View more

After using this tool for over a decade, I've realized that its UI is setup in reverse from what you would expect, and visual representation of the effect is as well.   Here are some screen grabs of a recent session cleaning a mono VO track. I have custom settings, and use an envelope to be more agressive outside voice range, protecing the voice.   This image shows settings that have been giving me good results (counter-intuative to the UI y Axis negative DB scale).   Once processed you can see in the waveform on the left as well as the frequencey analisis, that the baseline noise has been reduced. (Red is the unprocessed, Yellow is processed in the Frequencey Analysis tool )     I was setting up a new system with my custom settings, and started second guessing myself, so I made the envoelpe based on the Y axis oreintation as well as the spectral frequency NR preview... But the results are the opposite of what you would expect : and envelope that protects the non voice range, and produces no meaningful noise reduction.     Red Freq Analisis is unprocessed, and magenta is post NR.   Here is an A/B output with Audio so you can use your ears instead of scopes 🙂   Its an odd one, but I thought I'd post it.

Is anyone else getting unusable results when trying to use the Media Replace option in an EG template they have created in AE? Anyone having trouble with videos getting output as stills frames? This is a first for me. At a facility I work at, I'm the person who makes Graphics packages for other editors to use on a slew of various projects that we produce. I've been using EG templates for this to create branded lower third names keys etc for a long time, since before EG was created actually.  I've been cautiously dabbling in media replace options since it was introduced in Beta years ago, but have had too many issues with it. Several years passed and I thought I'd try again, and I'm reporting the errors I've encountered here.   I used AE placeholders (missing footage import) set to UHD 4k and built 2 templates around them, and then tried to use them for media replacement in an exported mogort.   At a certain point in adding footage within Premiere to the imported EG template , I realized that for some reason certain video elements were getting output as stills ( in one instance, and yet playing back fine in another -as pictured below)   Here is a link to the Mogort in question, which is a v2 that includes a tiny h.265 UHD Placeholder file I made the last time I was debugging Media replace. It didnt resolve this current issue.   Also fun to report is that the "Render and Replace" option produced a different image than the seq/render - The video clip did not render at all, but was blank. (There is no transparency on the video placeholder layers, and so it's not a premultiplied alpha on an RGB file issue) I'm running CC 23.3 in Premiere and AE, on Windows 10 Enterprise, 64G Ram, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz Cheers. ...

When sending edited clips from a Premiere timeline into Audition, the only option I'm aware of is to use the "Edit Clip in Audition" feature, while selecting the clips you want in the timeline (labeled Yellow below)     This feature would be far more usefull to Editors and Sound Designers if the user could specify handles for the output, as can be done in the "Render and Replace" feature (Which by the way does not seem to allow the user to specify audio only file types such as .wav, even after attempting to import a preset -pictured below).     The reason is that it does not even seem to calculate audio crossfade handles, ensuring that the files are very infllexible to work witn, and cannot accomadate any revisions/ edits, once back in a premiere sequence.     The curent workflow for what I'm doing are as follows: (A manual Noise Reduction with the tools in Audition, on the interview clips used in a sequence)  Duplicate the clips in question and paste into another sequence/ at the end of your sequence; select the clips;   envoke "render and replace", with handles added, and wait the considerable amount of time it takes to render out MXF/video files;   Locate the files on your drive and import them into Audition;   Convert them to mono tracks, delete the 3 out of 4 tracks you dont want (keeping the Lav/Boom track);   Run your NR pass on each mono track required, and close/save the files in Audition;   In premiere, locate the MXF/video clips generated by Render And Replace, modify the interpret footage/audio mapping to 1 track mono;   Replace Footage, specifying the NR Mono clips that you have saved out of Audition;   Make a duplicate sequence in Premiere with an "NR" suffix, and paste the exported+NR clips into right spot in your sequence (... or dupe the sequence first and work directly on the clips in place I suppose);   DONE!           ...
