Feature Film Editing in Premiere CC - Sequence Structure

I am looking to set up my sequence structure so that each scene has it's own sequence and then next each scene into a Master Sequence.  My question is this:
Is there a way for Premiere to update the Master Sequence if the length of the Scene Sequence changes.  As of now, I am not having much luck.
I know there will be small tweaks to the scene once I get feedback (Delete a line of dialogue, etc.) and would hope I wouldn't have to touch the Master Sequence for the continues outputs until the picture is locked.
And while we are at it, can some of you suggest how you set up your sequence structure for narrative features.  Perhaps I am not approaching it in the best manner.

Perhaps you are not understanding the role of an editor. It is our job to create the sequence of material that tells a story. (Please excuse my snarky attitude)
As a scene lengthens or shortens, simply ripple edit the in or out points as necessary. The best method is the checker or a variation to the checker method; I often assign scenes with similar characteristics to a particular track, for example, all scenes that take place in the garden will live on track 3, all the kitchen scenes live on track 4. Or for story line 'A' you can designate tracks 1-3, then you can put the supportive / alternate story 'B' on tracks 4-6 also using the checker method.  Again, excuse my attitude: don't be lazy.

  • Workflow suitable for Feature Film edit?

    Hi.
    I work for a company that specialises in hiring large Avid systems to feature film projects.
    In that environment, we have a number of editors and assistants each with their own machine hooked up to a central lanshare or unity. They can all open the same (main) project at the same time and all digitise / capture at the same time or while others are busy cutting - as soon as someone closes a bin, its updated contents are available to the rest of the team.
    I know that multiple FCP machines cannot use the SAME project file at the same time. And I know that FCServer must have project files checked in / out. I also know that media captured is associated to the project that it was captured to.
    So how to people use FCP for this type of team effort. On a movie, there are usually five or so people working on the same project and they all need to be able to capture if they need to (and have that media accessible to all asap), and be able to look at (or work on) each others' sequences at the drop of a hat.
    With Avid this is all very mature and there are systems in place for this kind of collaborative workflow. Hows it work with FCS? How do you guys manage a single project that is being worked on by five different guys?
    Any help is very welcome!

    @Studio X:
    I have not walked into anybody's office and asked for free advice, I have gone to a place that is specifically allocated as a place to share ideas and knowledge.
    Secondly this is not a contractor speaking to an architect, as you put it; a better analogue is an architect asking another architect for advice.
    Now I admit you are right, some architects would not give advice to 'the competition' as they might see this as undermining their business. I, however, am of the opinion that the sharing of knowledge creates valuable alliances, and for me this is a given when the two parties are not competing for the same client. In any event, this approach has not hurt our business (quite the contrary).
    Anyway. Its simply two different points of view.
    I am surprised though that you find my outlook curious! In what way?
    @Shawn:
    Thanks for the links. I appreciate the effort.
    @RedTruck:
    Thanks mate, but the features we are involved in don't work like that. In terms of the post team, they have a very well rehearsed working relationship. We are not hired to tell them how to do their job; they tell US how they want to work and we design the systems to do it. In this instance they have asked for the system to run FCP which is very unusual, its usually Avid. But they have Oscars and I don't, and its their money, so I'm not going to argue!
    I do think though that we will just do what we always do; and that is purchase the kit, get it in the workshop and figure it out for ourselves. With a whole bagful of testing!
    Thanks everyone for your input.

  • Should a feature film edited w/FCP be broken into multiple projects?

    I am shooting and editing a HD project. Being fairly new to FCP and having edited only a 5 minute music video, I am trying to determine if I am making a mistake in not considering creating multiple FCP "projects" to complete the 1.5+ hr movie. I am currently compiling (rough editing) multiple sequences in one project. I am not having any major slowdowns or crashes. I realize every situation/computer/project is different but I am not finding a specific answer in my searches through the forums. Any insight, links or information are greatly appreciated. Thank You

    It's really a matter of personal choice. You can break it into multiple projects, or just create multiple Sequences in one project.

  • Offline editing in Premiere CS6

    Hi!
    I'm thinking about to edit a feature film in Premiere putting together all the episodes of my webserie. It's an action webserie and has a lot of cuts. It is in H.264 from 7d so is very difficult to play in real time.
    Are there any way to make proxies of the sequence for a more fluid edit and reconnect later with the original files (as you can do in Avid or FCPX)?

    Yes indeed!
    But you will have to use the fonction "replace with" to files one by one. Then it will relink the low res files to HD files into your timeline.

    Hi Denis, thanks for your help.
    Yes, right now I have one of the last MacBook Pro (no retina) but only with 4Gb of RAM. But I originally edit the series in my Macpro (with 24Gb and quadro 4000) and the action sequences still had problem to play well in H.264.
    My problem is that I have every episode already edit, although I'll probably change it when I mix all together.
    So, I think in this solution following your advice:
    •Make a Project manager of the sequences to one folder.
    •Batch transcode the resulting clips to a proxy version in another folder, with different name but maintaining the original name of the clips
    •Relink the sequences to the new ones
    In this way I can easily switch from offline to online version, right?

  • Import Premiere Pro Sequence Problems

    Hello, I am new to using CS for video editing so forgive me if this seems very basic. 
    What I am trying to do, is bring a sequence from Premiere Pro into After Effects so that I can jazz it up with some compositing and effets etc.  I went to File>Dynamic Link and imported my premiere sequence.  It shows up in my project panel, and double clickign it I can view it as normal.  But when I try to drag it into my timeline panel to make a comp, nothing happens.  I have tried draging it to the "create new comp" button within the project panel, and all it does is create an empty comp.  Am I doing something wrong?  I am using Mac OS X 10.7.2

    I think you're going about this all wrong. If you go to Adobe Dynamic Link and pick Import Premiere Pro Sequence you get a movie not a composition. 
    I don't think that's what you want.
    If you go to File>Import>Premiere Pro Project you get all of the footage, the bins, and either all of the sequences as compositions or a selected sequence as a composition. Only cross dissolves and cuts come across but the AE project can quickly become unmanageable if there are lots of cuts. I cut a feature film last year in Premiere Pro and there were just a little over 3000 edits. Can you imagine working on a comp with 3000 layers???
    The project looks like this:
    The only difference between importing a movie and importing a Premiere Pro Project using dynamic link is that you can go back into Premiere Pro and re-edit the movie, then bounce back into AE and see the edits without rendering the Premiere Pro sequence. It's not at all useful to do what you describe in your original question. I didn't read carefully when I posted the first answer.
    My usual workflow, in fact the workflow used in the project I'm showing here, is to go to one or a few of the shots I'm working on in Premiere Pro, select them then right click on the selected shots and choose Replace with After Effects Composition. This enables AE, allows me to concentrate on the sequence that needs the work in AE, keeps my AE projects very manageable, and lets me work faster and more efficiently. This runway show First Cut had about 15 effects shots, each requiring only about 3 or 4 layers. If I had imported the entire PPro project I would have had about 500 layers to sort out and the comp would have been completely unmanageable.

  • I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function works

    I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function, render workspace function, export file are still operational. How can I fix it so I may complete my assignment?
    Besides DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Suite 6 is the only software on the machine. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating System on AMD FX 6100 six-Core Processor at 3.31gHz and 32 GB RAM memory. There are two SLI-bridged GTX680 NVidia cards.
    The software was very stable for the last six months, working with 720P proxy files from 2.5K masters (Blackmagic Design Camera). I am working on a feature-length project that exceeds 1000 edits. I have broken the file into 2 one hour segments.
    I have deactivated the software before reinstalling the entire OS from scratch. PP6 was very stable for 48 hours. Then the freezing space bar returns. After a dozen strokes into the project, same problem.  I have made cache files store next to originals, I have deleted preview files if they were corrupted and causing instability. Am I missing something?
    I have Microsoft Security Essentials for virus protection. I double checked the memory for damage/defect. Nothing says that the motherboard or other components are damaged.
    I am in film competition overseas and need to have deliverables in less than a month's time.  I lost the last two weeks troubleshooting and this crisis came at an inopportune moment of the project.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Still getting software freezes but found a way to mitigate for the mean time.
    Upon launching Adobe Premiere Pro, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to launch TaskManager as well.
    You will want to highlight Adobe QT32 Server.exe
    Right click and select "End Process Tree"
    You will get considerable stability in the program, long enough to get timing of cuts done. Be sure to save often.
    If the program freezes, do not hit Save. You definitely want to avoid saving the corruption into your TimeLine
    CTRL-ALT-DEL to relaunch the TaskManager and highlight Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
    Right-click to "End Process"
    No need to reboot the whole system; just launch Premiere Pro again and continue with the session. Note that your work reverted to Last Save.
    Hope this helps until the bug is fixed.

  • Film Edit Process Q's & Reconnect Conflicts

    I am one of two assistant editors on an independent feature film, shot on 35m, transferred to BetaSp pal for edit. FTL files (from the lab) are imported,
    Batchlists and Database folders created. Our clips are then digitized from the batchlists in FCP. We edit at 24fps, video is converted through Cinema Tools and merged with the audio tracks when synced in FCP. (we are using the basic sync by clap system) Assistants have now started editing on multiple computers. We copy the editors project, all of the respected folders
    (FTL, BATCH CAPTURE, DATABASE, etc) the media and seperate sound folders to our two 250-500GB Lacie fw drives. We work seperatly, finish a sequence, then take project files back to the editor's station; copy bins/sequences into his project and reconnect to the media that sits on his drives. Video always reconnects fine. When working with sync clips and reconnecting audio, I get this window, "some attrubutes of one or more files have chosen do not match attributes of original" 99% of the time the attribute conflict is listed as, "media start and end". Sometimes additional attributes: "reel, rate" are listed. I have the option of chosing "connect" anyway, and I've done a test with
    this and even with "conflicts" sync appears fine. I want to be sure that everything happens smoothly with our audio post (sound designer working on a seperate system from our exported OMFs) and I want to be sure
    that we output a good EDL. (we will be making a film cut to scan into "Luster", a DI system, and printing to negative from there) Also, what should we just
    watch out for in this work process described? What are some pitfalls that I could be missing in copying media around, taking media off the assistant edit
    drives, etc., as we work? Also for organizational purposes, I want to rename media folders (capture folder), where the clips were digitized into on the
    editor's machine. (would like to reorganize media in general, intial organization untidy) Will this be a problem, most concern again for the EDL. Forgive me for some ignorance, first time working with film in edit. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks-
    amysands

    Hi Jim - thanks for your advice, wondering if I should I have headed your warning earlier - I expressed concerns to Steve about EDL export, turns out I ran into some problems recently when doing an EDL test. If you have some time, I'd greatly appreciate any information or help you can offer. Here is my long winded explanation of what happened. (again, I'm an assistant on an independent feature film - finally getting back to the forum after being buried for a bit)
    OUR PROCESS:
    1) Film format: 35m 3perf, (plus some Super 16mm).
    2) Transferred to BetaSp PAL and Digibeta PAL.
    3) FTL files (from telecine)copied and imported to CINEMA TOOLS, Database created. Batch Lists created.
    4) Batch Lists imported to FCP, media digitized at 25fps. Media converted through Cinema Tools to 24fps. Media then “reconnected” in FCP.
    5) Audio (at 24fps) imported and synced with video (using the basic sync by clap system). Clips are “merged” as we sync. Edit occurs in 24fps, timelines.
    6) Finishing with DI - film negatives to be scanned, film print created.
    EQUIPMENT:
    FCP 5.0
    Cinema Tools
    G5, dual processor
    Mac OS X 10.4.2
    BlackLink Card
    (assistants also working with copied media on an EMAC
    and G4 Lap Top, projects transferred back to G5 system)
    REDIGITIZING AND EDL ERRORS:
    Our offline footage was digitized at DV-PAL compression from Beta SP (PAL). We had also telecined to matching Digibeta (PAL) tapes. Recently we tried to re-digitize for a trailer capturing at 8 bit compression. We brought in a Sony Digibeta deck with SDI cable.
    Several problems occurred:
    I tried first to export an EDL from FCP. In a new project, I imported the EDL and started to re-digitize. The system immediatly searched for timecode out of the ballpark from the tape (not even the same hour).
    I was able to batch digitize from the sequence (still in a 24fps timeline). Media then had to be conformed to 24fps through Cinema Tools. In/Outs for the most part would match. However, maybe because our FTL codes were not broken into individual takes, huge source clips needed to be recaptured. For example, for a 30sec clip in the timeline, 6 minutes of footage was digitized. We had to capture large source files corresponding to our smaller edited clips. This took up more space and time then we had available.
    Even after conforming the media to 24fps, some clips did not match the in/outs of the original sequence. 15% of the clips were not even batch digitized; tape numbers or clip names ignored all together in the batch digitize que. This occurred even with selecting “digitize online” clips function.
    A seperate issue, but mastering back to digibeta was also unsuccessful. We tried rendering the sequence out at 25fps, (which took a huge amount of time) and then discovered that we could still not print to tape on the digibeta deck. It would not output at all - we got only a fuzzy green screen. We have tried both component / composite and SDI but its the same each time. We've also tried to output to a BetaSP deck - no result. In the end we exported quicktimes and outputted via firewire to DVCAM. I have since read that mastering back to Beta is commonly problematic.
    Any insights as to why the digitization is erratic? Why the EDL is not working? The EDL is the most concerning problem - will need to eventually both work with high res footage and scan our negatives for the DI and print to film. Should I create an EDL through Cinema Tools? Am I missing something in the EDL settings maybe? Trying to do some quick reading on this as well - thanks guys for all the help -

  • Importing a Premiere Pro Sequence into After Effects Crashes After Effects

    Hello,
    I'm on a Quad Core Mac, 2.8GHZ with 6GB of Ram.
    I have a Premeire Pro project with varying MOV and MP4 files; from a DSLR and from a Sony EX-1 camera.  This project has lots of media, over 3 TBs, and each and every time I try to import it into After Effects-After Effects crashes and does not respond.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Don't try and do a whole movie in AE. After Effects is for making shots or short sequences. Break up the projects. Organize. 3TB of source materials into AE's Project folder means linking, analyzing, interpreting, and generating previews for enough material to shoot a feature film. Bring in the shots you're working on, not the entire movie. If you need to do an entire movie, break that up to Scenes and make each scene a separate project.
    Terabytes of data would also choke Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Avid, or any other NLE if it was dumped in all at once. The only reason that a NLE can handle that much data is that there were some caches created when the footage was imported.

  • Multicam Editing in Premiere CC Issue

    ........ any help?

    Seems like this thread is the same issue just in different words: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1237142?tstart=0
    Sadly, I found out the hard way. I'm another lost soul that was bit by this bug. And on my first day of editing with Premiere Pro CC after using CS6 since last fall. Day one and I already have to shelve the new software til it's fixed. So sad. Makes me really wonder actually how this was never caught and solved in all the time leading up to the release given that if you make any adjustments to your multicam that rewrite any previous multicam edits, then save and reopen the project the issue pops up. Seems like a pretty huge bug to look over or miss.  If it was "known" then how can you justify releasing it? It essentially cripples this feature rendering it almost useless.
    The bug occurs whenver you go back and "re-edit" or "re-write"...as in hit play and make new cuts as it plays OVER previous edits that you made on a multicam sequence. Simply start any multicam edit, make a few cuts. Stop...go back a bit and hit play and redo some of those cuts in the multicam window (which will overwrite the previous cuts you made). Now save, close and reopen...and there you have a screwed up sequence just like the above videos show.
    This is very disappointing. Multicam is broken in Premiere Pro...again. Sad.
    Mark Mapes wrote:
    edited: As a workaround, after saving and closing an edited multicam sequence, we recommend making subsequent edits through the Timeline rather than the Program Monitor's Mullticam mode.
    The caveat here is you must NEVER re-do ANY of your previous edits before you EVER save and close. So if you stop a multicam midway (even on your first time throught it) and decide you want to re-do the previous edits, DO NOT DO IT using the program monitor's multicam window. You now have to use the rolling edit tool to adjust your previous cuts. If you go back, hit play and write over any previous edits the way you're "supposed to" using the multicam window then you're screwed upon reopening your project. This is gonna be fun to see how long it takes for Adobe to fix their broken editing program.

  • Color grading workflow for full featured film ...

    dear friends ...
    i'm about to edit a full feature film on premiere CS5 ... will color grade with colorista 2 and other tools (maybe AE) ... and the final movie will go to lab to print the film on 35mm film stock ... when i talked with the lab they told me to take care of the LUT ... i do not know how work with the same LUT in premiere CS5 and i do not know how i can be sure that the film will look the same from premiere CS5 to the film stock ... any ideas how i can achieve this?
    The main problem with this and every other electronic color corrector is that while making a nice image on the electronic screen it is not what you will see on the film screen. The problem is there is no consideration for the density v. exposure, nonlinear response of the display device, and most important no simulation of the undesired dye cross coupling in the positive print film.
    thanks for co-operation.

    Well something I would advise is tests...lots of tests.
    I would suggest that you will want to export from AEFX for the files going to the LAB.
    Have the lab advised you of the file specs and type they require.  eg seq tiif / tga....
    I dont have an answer for you about managing the LUT but....
    I did tests and used the "eyeometer" method.  eg. I projected the tests up at the lab.  The projector and screen were calibrated to a Kodak cinema spec
    Actually I found color was not the issue of any significance.
    I did find the gammas were a slight issue (easily dealt with)
    Shadow detail requires concentrating on ( otherwise  noise)
    Highlights needed to be controlled to avoid blowing them out and away.

  • Media organisation for fiction film editing

    Hello.
    If anyone had experience with FCPX and fiction film editing, I would appreciate if you could help me find out what is the best practice for organising and labeling the material.
    I started editing on flatbeds, got used to MediaComposer and was probably one of the first people to use FCP for cinema fiction film editing. Recently bought FCPX, went through some tutorials and played a little, but I'm still not at home with it.
    The projects I'm considering would be shot with either ARRI Alexa or Canon DSLR, thus each shot comes as a separate file, and would be labeled by the assistant according to marks on the slate. (We use Scene/Shot-Take system e.g. 5/3-2x). Sound is coming in separately as WAV files which need to be synced to the picture.
    Also, if you have any comments on editing fiction narrative films with X, I'd be interested. I was quite distracted today when I realised that FCPX doesn't remember where I stopped watching a clip when I come back to it after taking a look at some other take or shot!
    Also during today's experimenting it seemed awkward that MatchFrame (Reveal clip in Event browser) doesn't open the collection from where I actually inserted the clip.
    Thanks.
    Mato

    Hello Matoid,
    I am now facing the same situation that you did, and was wondering if you came up with workflow for editing a feature length film on FCPX.
    I would specifically appreciate any advice on the following:
    All the dailies are synchronized QT files organized by shooting day.  For instance, a file named Shooting Day 1 will contain all the synchronized dailies that were shot that day.  The files are in the following format:
    Dimensions: 1920 x 1080
    Codecs: Apple ProRes 422, Linear 422
    Color Profile: HD (1-1-1)
    Audio Channels: 2
    Since I come from the old school of editing, I would like to organize all the material by scene, shot and take number, so the first question is, how should I go about splitting the files into single takes?
    What I’ve done so far with the first two days of shooting is to create an event for each day, then select each take within the event, create a compound clip, and label it according to its slate info (Scene # +Shot + Take #).  Once I break up the Shooting day event into several scene clips, I create a new event and label it by Scene #, and then I copy all the clips from the Shooting Day Event that correspond to the Scene Event. Then I go back and delete all the clips from the Shooting Day Event and lastly y also delete the Shooting Day Event to make sure I am not doubling up on clips.
    This seems to work, but I feel there must be a more effective way of doing it.
    Another question I have is, should I assemble each sequence into its own story line and then string all the storylines together for the completed film, or should I just assemble everything in one story line?
    I am sure that more questions will come up as the project evolves, but for the time being any advice on how to go about organizing the project would help me a lot and would be immensely appreciated.

  • Feature Film VFX with AE

    Not sure if it's OK to share recent work in these forums but figured what the heck.
    A few friends and I just completed a feature film that was four years in the making.  Shot on a Canon 5D, edited in Final Cut Pro and then Premiere Pro.  VFX in After Effects and Cinema 4D, Grading in Speedgrade.  You can watch the trailer at any of these sites:

    We definitely took a lot of notes - the most important one being to just SURVIVE!  Pretty rough weather at times, yet the water was as still as a mirror other times.
    We put self-imposed limitations on ourselves to maintain a consistent visual language and to help in post production:
    - lock down cameras at all times (except for the handheld intro and underwater footage)
    - absolutely no camera movement including zooming or panning.
    - only use 3 lenses (a Canon 16-35, Zeiss 50, Canon 70)
    - only use 2 filter stages max (usually an ND and a polarizer)
    - use only available light and practicals unless absolutely necessary
    Since the ocean is constantly changing, it's nearly impossible to track for match-moving, so it was important we locked down the shots for any VFX work.
    You can take a look at some productions stills on our Facebook page and get a sense of the challenges we had to overcome as well as a look at the equipment we used - lots of grip equipment:
