Mastering directly to XDCAM Discs in Pr CS6

Hi all,
Apologies if this is covering old ground, I did a cursory search but couldn't see a solution.....
We are in the process of switching from FCP 7 to Premiere Pro CS6 and are looking for a little help refining our workflow. Historically, we have shot mostly on Sony XDCAM format and as such have adopted (for better or worse) XDCAM discs as an archival format. We would export our final sequences through the plugin in FCP 7 and that would be that.
My question is two fold:
1. Is there a quick and easy way (plugin?) that will enable this export direct to XDCAM disc ala FCP 7?
2. How easy is it to create a split track master from a sequence that has already been cut?
Any thoughts/opinions on XDCAM disc as archival format are also welcome - currently toying with the idea of a flattened quicktime on LTO alogside our projects rushes. We shoot a mixture of C300 and Sony formats these days.
Thanks for your time - I'm new to the forums so please be gentle!
Matt

Hi Matt,
Thanks for asking, I am actually having this problem as well when mastering to XDCAM from Premier Pro. Hopefully somebody can provide us an answer.

Unable to export to xdcam disc - pdw-f75

Hi All,
I have a difficulty to export directly to xdcam disc (using PDW-F75 deck) in Adobe Premiere CS6.
The message showed "G:\Clip\C0001.mxf You don't have permission to modify
files in this network Location. Contact the administrator per permission to
make these changes.". However, if I export the file to the desktop locally
and then manually copy/drag to the clip directory in the xdcam disc via
windows explorer, it works. I don't want to waste time by having two steps
to achieve that. The FAM driver that I have is ver 2.3 for Windows 7 Pro 64
bit, which I believe is the latest for PDW-F75.
For your information, I also have Mainconcept plugin installed and tried
using the Totalcode sequence/export setting and etc but still failed.
I noticed the permission in the windows explorer is read-only for all the drive,
clip folder and the rest of the folders. Is it normal?

Hi All,
Anyone can help me out on this?
Regards.

Is there a way to export from final cut X to XDCam discs?

Hello,
I need to export from Final Cut Pro X to a XDCam disc.
Does anyone knows how this can be done?

Just forgot to mention that I would like to do this with a camcorder (Sony PDW-530P) connected by firewire.
Many thanks

Export to xdcam disc

is there a way to export the movie back to the xdcam disc?

I just talked to our rep at Sony who had one of their software develpers on the line and they said as of now there isn't any way to get MXF files out of FCPX. It is on their list of things to get done. So you will need to use a third party software or bring the MOV back into FCP7 to export.

Recording master back to XDCam disc with Final Cut

Hello there
Sorry for the vague question- I work at a TV station using XDCam for shooting/editing (a mixture of SD and HD)... but they haven't worked out how to archive material... eg where to keep masters of finished programs, compilations of b-roll likely to be needed again etc.
Can the XDCam decks (we have PDW-F30 models) be used to record back onto? Is there anyone using them in this way- eg to generate master copies of programs or segments?
This station can't afford a server-based archive, and we can't archive onto digital tape so would this work? Could we make compilation discs of b-roll and slowly fill them up on XDCam? (Then we could re-use discs for shooting and save some more money).
I have previously worked in environments where DigiBeta was the standard and everything could be kept on tape, from finished programs to b-roll- can XDCam be used in the same way?

Export > Sony XDCAM works just fine, however it is mind bogglingly slow in practice. If this is going to be something you're doing a lot then you'd be better off getting an F75 or similar and laying back to disc via HD-SDI.

Is there a way to burn images in a specific project with a certain star rating directly to a disc?

I want to burn all the one-starred images in a project to a disc, and was wondering if there is a way to do it directly from Aperture, instead of having to export them to a file, and then burn them to the disc. Also, when I do this, shots from multiple cameras with different images series numbers get out of order. I want them to be cronological, as they are in Aperture.

Sorry, no, you cannot burn directly from Aperture without exporting.
However, you can define an Automator workflow, so that you do it more easily from within Aperture:
Open Automator and create a service to receive "no input" in Aperture
Drag an "Find Image Versions in Aperture" Action into the Workflow, set to Rating is equal "1"
Add an "Export Versions" Action
Add an Burn on DIsk Action.
Install the Service in your Library in the "Services" folder
Then you will be able to activate the Service from the Aperture -> Services menu.
To order CD chronologically, export with an export name format "Image Date -Time".

Is there Anyway to Import XDCAM EX1 videos into CS6 without Conversion ?

Hello Guys,
I have to edit some footage which was shot on XDCAM EX1. Im using CS6 on an IMac. Whenever i try to import the footage i get the error " the file has no audio or video stream". So i went to google for the solution. I came across a few posts (all of them were exactly the same) which said that I have to convert the footage. The problem with this is that no matter how expensive or professional the converter is, there will be some loss in quality. Please advice me what should I do ? Quality is the highest priority for me. I do have FCP X as well which picks up the EX 1 footage but it does not recognize the footage from my Sony FS100 ( i need to edit footage from both these cameras in one timeline and sequence ). Other than this i do have windows available as well with Adobe Premiere cs4,5,5.5. and 6.

Copy the BPAV directory and all subdirectories from the SxS card to a harddisk. Open the BPAV directory in the Media Browser and import the clips from there. The EX1 creates MPEG2 clips in a MP4 wrapper.

PAragraph Direction Selection Option is missing in CS6

Hello,
I just downloaded CS6 specifically to do some testing on our Arabic fonts. Even thought I have selected the Adobe World Composer option, I do not have the option that lets me choose the paragraph direction like Adobe's website document shows:
This is what mine looks like:
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to have this option appear in my Paragraph panel?
thanks!
babs

I think that you'd need to either purchase the Middle East edition ($$$), or buy World Tools ($). The only thing that has seems to have changed in English ID, as far as multilingual work goes, is that the World Ready Composer has been exposed.
Can you post this link?
I do not have the option that lets me choose the paragraph direction like Adobe's website document shows:
I have also seen some misleading information w/r/t CS6; I don't think that they're doing a good job showing what is in the ME edition versus other editions. If you're talking about this page
http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/indesign/using/arabic-hebrew.html
then note that it says
New and improved features for working in Arabic and Hebrew are available in the Middle East and North African edition of this software.
Gotta read the small print.

I've used a disc to download cs6 to my desktop. Everything loads except for bridge. Help!

I've called tech support and they've been no help. No one has any answers.

Yikes - harsh. I'm new to Adobe and just tried to run the disc my company purchased on my new Dell computer that has Windows 7. Please remember, some of us are just starting out in design and are new to Adobe products and getting things up and running.
We purchased CS6 Design Standard. I loaded the disc and AI, ID, Acrobat X, and Photoshop is loaded correctly on the computer. However, each time I try to open Bridge from Indesign, nothing happens. When I go into Programs I see that the above programs are loaded, but Bridge does not show up. I actually purchased CS6 and downloaded it online, with the serial number. This same thing happened - bridge wouldn't load. I called Adobe and spent many hours with different reps trying all sorts of things to fix it. In the end, they suggested I purchase the actual disc and install it. Now I have the actual disc and it's doing the same thing.
Please let me know if there is any other information I should be providing to get help. Thank you!

How many discs does Adobe CS6 Master Collection include?

I am trying to find out for all of the programs that CS6 includes, how many discs need to be downloaded for a MAC?

Depending on what edition of the MC you can end up between 3 to 5 discs, but the download offered on Adobe's site should only be 2 archives.

Inquiring about mpg4 rapping from sony xdcam to premiere pro cs6.

I am currently using a sony ex1r and am trying to import the footage into premiere pro cs6, I copied the file to the desktop (BPAV) file, but the
software premier Pro cs6 keep saying that there is no audio/video files or stream not supported, i.e. corrupted files after I tried to use the media Browser. etc. Is there a better way or can I get some help I tried to see if there are any upgrades in the system I am curently using verson 6.05 I am not aware if there are any other uptates available. I cannot find anything on line to
correct this situation, are you able to point me in the right direction, you can email me with some way of resolving this situation at [email protected]

You can download a fully functional demo of Sony Vegas 12 Pro. That's what I did. So far I like it and will be making the switch to Sony Vegas 12 Pro.
They also have Suite version which include HitFilm 2 Ulimate. This program is like After Effects. I haven't started playing with that yet.
Also, there is Movie Studio 12 Platinum Visual Effects Suite 2. That's a mouth full. Anyhow, it is based on Sony Vegas 12 and it comes with HitFilm 2 Express. The Express version is a stripped down version of HitFilm 2 Ulimate. The Express version is still a great program for adding effects. For some people Movie Studio 12 is all they will need,
Both version, Vegas and Movie Studio, have GPU acceleration which is really nice.
I also just picked up Corel PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate. It sells for $69.95 and it can open and save .PSD files. So I don't have to worry about all of the .PSD files I saved in Photoshop
Right now I have CS5 and CS6. Premiere CS6 has a lot of bug, the AVCHD spanning clips, slow motion that jitters, caching problem, slower exports, etc.

Intolerably slow download of the templates disc image for CS6 on a Mac

The file comes from blogs.adobe.com. It's so slow that the download times out.
Is there some other way to get this disc? I am looking for the Additional Content disc for Premiere and whatever else I can get.

Moving this discussion to the Premiere Pro forum.

Proxy xdcam disc hd422

Dear Sirs,
we work with italian television with xdcam pdw f800 from sony. For eng matter and in order to speed up editing operations, we would like to edit proxy files from disk and finalize with hd hi res files at the end of editing.
We tried, but the result is Premiere pro cc is not able to work with low res proxy from xdcam pdw f800.
So we opened a ticket
Case #0185185915
and the result is that support said us, there is a bug on cc, but they don't know when will be solved.
FROM ADOBE ITALY
".. He said today the office of competence in the following specific product and I 'was told that the problems and' caused by a bug.
They inserted the same in their report to be able to solve with updates, but I can not give a time for the release of the same. "
[Translated to English.]
Any of you have some workaround?
Please Adobe can you solve the BUG?
Thanks
Alessandro

Cannot import sony xdcam hd mxf files into CS6

I have tried every thing, reinstalling, adobe tech, main concept.
Any ideas?

OK. Try skipping that. Put the disk into a Blu-ray drive and just use Windows Explorer to copy everything over.
We have the same camera and disc drive. You can't put the discs into a standard bluray drive as they have are in a cartridge. The disc reader he's using is the appropriate way to import that media.
I'm not sure what's going on for you but I'm unable to replicate your problem. Put XDCAM disc into drive, copy entire contents to a folder, then in media browser right click on that folder (not the subfolders) and click import. I get a bin named whatever the folder was called, with all my clips inside. I'm on CS6.0.2 on a mac.

Help Purchasing 4 Copies of Photoshop CS6 with Discs?

Hi All, I am the Team Leader of a very busy medical photography dept at the largest public hospital in New Zealand and we wish to buy 4 new copies of Photoshop CS6 for our medical photogapher ie one for each photographer. We cannot, nor will ever, use the "Cloud" because of the highly confidential images that we document and distribute for medical records and clinical education. The lease option is not going to work either as every automatic monthly payment from generated from our purchasing dept, costs $30 ontop of what our monthly lease would be to Adobe making this too expensive( to say nothing of the inconvienience of being disconnected if a software payment gets missed one month).
Further, we will be upgrading all our machines from Windows XP to Windows 7 in a few months so this will mean re-installing Photosop CS6 (assuming that we can find someone willing to sell us the discs) after that as well...so for lots of reasons the best solution for us at the moment, would be to purchase legacy discs of Photoshop CS6( including Bridge) and I have secured trust funds to purchase this new software.I thought that I could buy 4 legacy versions from either B&H photo in New York or Amazon( who both show legacy discs for sale on their respective websites) but neither will sell these discs to any one outside of the USA.
I have searched for licenced resellers in New Zealand via the Adobe website but none come up. I have tried ringing Adobe New Zealand( 5 times!) but they refuse to return my call even after leaving 5 messages and when I ring the customer support I get put through to a call centre in India where the support consists of an operator with very little English language skills. The one time I did get hold of a native English speaking customer support person in the USA they told me that I had to ring the UK to speak to a person there but the UK is 12 hours behind us so that would mean ringing them in the middle of the night to speak to speak to someone about this ....by now I hope you are getting a very small idea of my frustration with this process and appalling customer service!...can anyone help me please???

I think you are misunderstanding a few things about Creative Cloud
The software is installed on your computer and the data never goes on the cloud unless you specifically choose to put it there.
You mention four copies, but one photographer. Each license allows two simultanious activations of Photoshop. Other people would not need Photoshop to view the images of course.
Your Creative Cloud subscription will NOT stop working if you are unable to log on to the internet for some weeks, (or even months if you have a years subscription).
You can pay for a full year in one go.
Other things to consider:
As a medical department, you would probably want to use the measurment tools that come with the Extended version. That makes CS6 a lot more expensive, but is an integral part of CC
There are some important features being added to CC that I can see your department making good use of.
Creative Cloud has a Teams option, although don't forget you can have two installations for each licence so long as both are used by the same person (deskop and laptop for instance)
I live in Marlborough, and I used to hate the permenent license model because of Adobe's price gouging. It used to cost me around 50% more for Photoshop than people using the same program bought in America. I am paying about NZ$23 a month for a Full Creative Cloud subscription of >30 applications. That is almost exactly the same as in America. Note this is the discounted first year price because I am a previous user, and it goes up to US$50 a month after that first year.
If you are able to qualify for the Photoshop Photographers bundle deal, you will get Photoshop CC and Lightroom for US$10 per month. That is such a bargain.
So all in all, I would advise you to think again about a Creative Cloud subscription.
I am in NZ and would happy to talk to you, although I am not in any way working for Adobe, and would not be able to help regards account details.
