Ingesting Multiple P2 Clips

I have been trying to ingest multiple P2 Clips in Prelude CS6.  After importing the P2 footage from the camera (HPX 170) using P2CMS, I open Prelude and find the folder on the hard drive.
When selecting the footage folder, I can only select on file at a time.  Each clip has to be selected and transcoded, instead of selecting multiple clips.  If I select the folder that contains the footage, I only see File Directories, not the footage.
This is quite a hindrance at the end of a day having to find the file, select the clip, and click ingest. 
I am trying the ingest process with Prelude, as importing directly into Premiere Pro is a different multiple step problem with each clip.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply.
I tried the workflow that you linked to above.  Thanks for the information.
Unfortunately, this is creating an alias to footage and definitely not how I would like to work.  If the project and footage get separated, it would be useless.  While I can see the advantage to getting the file organized as he has referenced, you would need to add more steps to correct that major issue.
I have read posts on other forums, including the entry directly above your link, to Log and Transfer in FCP, and then pull the footage into Premiere.  I'm still lost on the information listed on Adobe's site that you can use P2 Footage natively.  It does open the footage directly on the timeline, as my videos demonstrated.  I hope that's not a workflow that is expected with P2 Footage.
P2CMS works well for getting the footage in, and is recommended for use by Panasonic.  Obviously.  It has been flawless with our workflow and past projects.  When shooting for an entire day or doing "run and gun" on location or travelling, I don't have time to go through multiple steps ingesting footage.  Most of the time, I'm alone and start ingesting on my laptop while I continue to shoot.  I'll have to consider these steps and whether there is a smoother workflow for Premiere CS6. 
I have tried this for the past 5 months on projects, and made it work.  Unfortunately, the footage is now backing up.
Thanks for your time.  If you can think of a better workflow, or there is an update that corrects this, please let me know.

  • How do I synchronize multiple *sequential* clips using audio waveforms in Premiere Pro CC?

    I recorded a concert at my kids' school.  I ended up with:
    Video in six separate clips (video+audio) from my Canon 5D Mark III camera
    A single audio clip from my Zoom H4n recorder
    The 5D Mark III can only record clips of up to 4GB in size, and clips 30 minutes in length.  The clips broken up by the 4GB size limit are adjacent to each other, but the clips broken up by the 30-minute limit have a stop-pause-restart gap of a few second.
    On past such projects, I have used PluralEyes 3.0 to synchronize the clips.  But PluralEyes converts each stereo audio track into dual mono tracks, which I don't like.
    I just happened upon this video:  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/merge-clips-automatically-using-audio-wave forms/?t=0  It shows how to synchronize a single video+audio clip with another audio clip.  It also shows how to synchromize multiple concurrent video+audio clips with another audio clip, for multi-camera editing.  But it doesn't show how to synchronize multiple sequential video+audio clips, as I got from my Canon 5D Mark III.
    It seems that every time I select multiple video clips, the Synchronize item in the pop-up menu is disabled.  When I select only the first video clip and the full-duration audio clip, I can synchronize them with audio waveforms.  But then when I try to select the second video clip and the full-duration audio clip and synchronize them, it breaks the sync of the first video cilp
    Can Premiere Pro CC synchronize multiple sequential video clips using the audio waveform method?
    I am running Premiere Pro CC version 7.2.1 (4).
    Thanks.

    I'm an editing newbie but this was the very first task I needed to do, i.e. align multiple video clips with a single audio track. My setup is similar. I'm shooting with a Canon 70D, which breaks up video into 4gb clips, which are continuous and easy to align end to end. But the 70D like the 5D only shoots for 30 minutes continuously, so a second or two is lost hitting record again. My external audio was recorded continuously with a camera mounted Tascam (like a zoom) with a line in to the camera. So, in theory, the audio should be the same on the external audio and the audio associated with the video clips, which probably helps the software identify the identical wave forms.
    I found that I could roughly align the video clips based on the audio wave forms and then "synchronize" the audio as shown in the video (Merge clips automatically using audio waveforms | Adobe Premiere Pro CC tutorials). I found that this aligned the audio perfectly but separated the video from its associated audio track. But it's easy to select the video and snap it back into alignment with its audio. While it would be nice to have everything merge automatically, using synchronize sequentially did not take much time.
    Hope that all makes sense.

  • HitTest for multiple Movie Clip at the same time

    I have a movie it is a triangle.I duplicate it and I want to hitTest on the first triangle movie clip and I added 3 different line movie clips on the 3 side of triangle.I tried to write a code something like that.
    if(firstTriangle_mc.hitTestObject(line1_mc,line2_mc,line_3mc){
    trace("Ok");
    but I've got error.I think it is not allowed hitTestObject for multiple Movie Clips.So is there anyone have an opinion about it?What should I do?

    Here is another test for multiple movie clips for hitTestPoint but only the first work the others don't
    uc_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,hitle);
    function hitle(e:Event) {
    if (uc_mc.hitTestPoint(cub1,cub1Y,true)&&(cub2,cub2Y,true)&&(cub3,cub3Y,true)) {
      uc_mc.alpha=0.5;
    }else{
      uc_mc.alpha=1;
    The code above doesn't work.What should I do?

  • Cannot select multiple video clips at a time

    With the previous version, I could simply select all and import all my videos and pictures at once, in the order I copied them to my hard drive. Now, I have to "select entire clip" then, press letter E on every video clip, then, go back and add pictures. This is a huge downgrade from the previous version of IMovie.

  • Script for moving multiple subtitle clips in the works - EXAMPLES NEEDED!

    Hi everyone!
    One severe deficiency of DVD Studio Pro is the inability to move multiple subtitle clips back or forward in a track by an arbitrary offset.
    I ran into this problem while I was creating a DVD from an EyeTV recording of a DVB broadcast, the subtitles from which have to be extracted to a SON file and a bunch of .bmp images with a separate piece of software, ProjectX. For some reason, ProjectX messed up the subtitle timecodes, so I had to move the entire track forward by a fixed amount. Unable to do this inside DSP, and unable to find tools that would do this for SON files, I set out to code my own tool with Python.
    Currently, I have a very simplistic working version of the script, which I successfully used to shift the timecodes of the aforementioned SON file.
    This got me thinking: I can't be the only one who has faced this problem. So, in the spirit of giving something back to the community, I thought I'd try my hand at turning this little script into a versatile tool for timescaling several different subtitle formats.
    If possible, I would like to receive real-life examples of several different plaintext (no binary formats, thanks) subtitle formats from you guys, both those that DSP supports and those that it doesn't.
    For now the tool only shifts entire tracks and works on the command line, but who knows, maybe I'll create a GUI at some point and add the ability to shift specific subtitle clips instead of whole tracks - time permitting, of course.
    If you think you might have some juicy subtitles laying around, please reply or contact me directly by e-mail: elamaton (at) nic.fi. Don't worry, I won't redistribute anything you send me, it will only be used as test data.

    Sounds like a very good idea... but have you seen Subtitler:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26322
    Not to say you won't make a better version, and I'd be delighted if you did! Manipulating subs in DVDSP is not something I do any more - I use an external text editor for any job where more than a few subs are needed.
    The problem in DVDSP is that you cannot extract the subs directly, you have to export an track item description which has the subs and time code buried within the XML. You might find that PHP will give you a web based tool to extract the subs and time codes and write a text file, which you can then manipulate.
    In fact, wouldn't a web based tool be a good idea? People could upload the track description, it would export the subs and you could get it to adjust the timecodes and write a text file back in the correct format to import back in to DVDSP. Once the subs are in a text file it is a simple matter to manipulate them further...

  • Multiple movie clips in variable

    Is it possible to have multiple movie clips inside one variable? I want to be able to just use var._totalframes instead of mc1._totalframes, mc2._totalframes, etc... Or is there another way I can avoid copying and pasting dozens of movie clips over and over? Thanks.

    You can use the bracket notation in a loop to process multiple similarly named objects such as you described...
    for(i=1; i<someNum; i++){
         something += this["mc"+ i]._totalframes // not clear on your intent
    I can't be sure I am answerng your question when you mention copying and pasting movieclips.

  • Editing Multiple Audio Clips From Premiere in Audition

    Hi there,
    I am working with video/audio in Premiere that has frequent cuts (although the audio is derived from two files) and I need to edit all the audio files at once, rather than one by one, in Audition. I was hoping to this by nesting the audio in Premiere but I am not able to edit the nested file in Audition after this.
    If anyone has any ideas of how to work with and apply the same properties to multiple audio clips from Premiere in Audition I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks...

    Hi everyone, I also have a trouble with cs6. I just record 3 tracks in the early today, then when I got home, I saved as sexs file ( wrong decision). After that, I went back and try to open the file, it can't file the recording tracks. The only one thing still exist is my beat, what should I do to recovered it? thanks for helping me out of this.

  • Can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie

    Hi, i can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie, it only lets me import one video at a time. Apple please fix in next update or if anyone has a solution please post.

    Obviously you can not select the video to import until after iMovie populates the list of videos that are available to be imported

  • Replace audio in multiple video clips at one time

    Hello. I am new to the forum so I apologize if I break any of the rules!
    I have a collection of tutorial videos, all edited but the audio had some balance issues. The files were not in Premiere Pro at the time. They are the final edited videos but then I was told the audio needed to be adjusted. 
    I have re-balanced the audio, saved the audio as wav files and now I need to replace the old audio (in the finished video file) with the new audio (the wav files I edited and saved). The timing is all the same. It's just a matter of replacing the current file.
    Is this doable as a batch process? Is it doable in Premiere Pro or do I need to use Audition or some other Adobe software?
    I hope this makes sense.
    Thank you in advance!

  • How to change color on multiple text clips

    I just finished creating a video with a lot of moving text. It's about 40 mins long. The client wants the text color to be different in the video. My problem is I have multiple text clips (hundreds) that I need to change.
    Is there a simple short cut to do this. I love how in fcp you can use the past attributes feature to paste drop shadows and other motion elements on multiple clips. I haven't seen this option for color though.
    Thanks,
    Cody

    Thanks Mjax4,
    That's definitely one way to do it. The only negative is having to render all of that.
    You cannot simply copy/paste the color...
    Here's another way to do it. Note: this isn't really elegant AND it's still going to require rendering - so it might not work for you. But, I guess with any 'workaround' you've got to weigh the pros & cons, though, eh?
    Anyway, you could
    1.) Put a Color Solid on the video track above one of your titles.
    2.) Set the solid's color to the exact color you want the titles to take on.
    3.) Set the solid's composite mode to "Travel Matte-alpha". (This will use the alpha info. from the text clip to cut a hole into your now-colored solid.)
    4.) Copy this clip to all the other titles, above them.
    Again, this is just another workaround...so your alternatives are:
    • Bear down and re-do all the graphics properly...time-consuming!
    • Use one of the "other" techniques and wait on a render.
    They both cost you time. But at least with rendering - you can do whatever else you want while it's happening. It's wait-time. Not WORK time. Up to you!
    Hope this helps.

  • How to move multiple subtitle clips?

    Hi!
    I want to move multiple subtitle clips in the timeline. How can i do that? I want to select multiple subtitles and then drag them to left about 2 minutes. Just click+drag doesn't work. I didn't find help in the manual also...
    Waiting for the small tip.
    Timo

    Hi Timo
    As you have discovered you can't drag all the subs in the timeline - you can only drag one at a time... which is why you will find most people recommend creating your subtitles outside of DVD-SP and then importing them. If you have to adjust them you can then go back to this file created outside and adjust the in outs of the timecode.
    One way you could save the situation (I''m assuming you made the subs in DVD-SP) is to export an item description of the track then use a little utility called Subtitler
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26322
    This can extract those subtitles back out of the item description and can (I believe) adjust the timings as well and create a DVD-SP friendly STL file which you can re-import into SP... then if any others need tweaking you can go back to that external file adjust, re-import...
    I've only ever tested it to see if it coul indeed extract a sub from an item description so can'tr vouch for it's other abilities - we normally use Lemony or Subtitle Workshop on a PC to adjust subs
    Hope that's some help

  • Ingesting Multiple Cards Simultaneously In Prelude

    I've got a 4-card CF card reader to help with downloading footage in the field from a C300 and a 1DC.  Is it possible to ingest multiple cards simultaneously within Prelude?  And, if not, is there any downside to just copying the files over in Finder just to speed things up a bit.  Mostly concerned about what happens if I'm in BFE, doing my own DIT and I spent the day shooting at 4K.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the post.
    Yes, Prelude will support multiple ingests simultaneously. You do need to invoke the Ingest Dialog for each operation though (for each card transfer you need to kick off - we don't yet have a shortcut for this workflow built in but are looking into it).
    Let me know if that doesn't meet your needs.
    Thanks!

  • Multiple Video Clips

    Does DVDSP4 support multiple video clips in a track? It allowed me to add a video clip after the first one but the second clip is black when I play it. This is for a dance recital where i want each section title screen to be separate from the video.

    Hi:
    Most probably you find the black playback (but audio is playing fine) in Simulator, right? Try pausing and starting again during Simulator.
    It's a kind of bug in Simulator. If you make a trial build you'll find everything is OK.
    Hope that helps !

    I'm having trouble with working a movie clip played one after another within a button. Can anybody help? or is there a simpler way of getting multiple movie clips to play?
    for my project, when you hover over the button and vines grow out. currently, i have one working in a button but i can't seem to get other vines to work.

    use a movieclip (or sprite) button.  you can then control the child movieclips with actionscript.
