Sequence playout with source clip timecodes?

What I want is actually quite simple, but it's more difficult then I thaught.
Our cameraman has shot al lot of material onto Panasonic P2 cards (and copied them on to a Harddrive). And now I need to make a rushes playout with burned in timecode. (and i don't want to render)
All the clips have timecode from itself (time of day). Is it possible to create a playout with those timecodes instead of the master sequence timecode? (a little bit like freerun) With the use a digibeta recorder to read the timecode from de rs422 port (and then crash rec on a dvdrecorder)
Anybody who can help me?
Ciao, Gideon

YOu want to output the sequence, and have the deck record the timecode that exists on the clips themselves? So that you then make a tape of all the P2 footage and retain the P2 footage TC?
Sorry, I don't know of any edit system that does that. Timeline timecode, or pre-striped TC only.

  • PP CS6 same settings as sequence created from source clip ...

    If there is documentation on this one, let me know, I didn't see anything at a glance.   I am trying to educate myself on PP CS6 and encoding when one selects same settings as sequence on export where the sequence was created from a clip.  (And also just trying to understand the basics of encoding, codecs, formats, containers, etc. generally speaking.)   Keep in mind I am coming from a consumer level of understanding and prior used another editor that had "smart rendering" whereby if you selected an output matching a clip it matched everything and encode only what changed.  My source video in this case is from a Countour+ helmet camera unit: 1280x720, 59.94, progressive, .mov, "avc1" codec and H.264 reported by Gspot.    Let me know if you need more information.   
    Ok so when I do an export as noted above I see PP selecting "MPEG Preview" for the format and "MPEG I-Frame" for the codec, both options grayed out.  If I run gspot I get the same width, height, frame rate, etc. as the original source clips only gspot reports the format is mpeg-2.   I was expecting to see the mpeg-4/h.264 like the source video.   Is this result to be expected?
    Secondarily, if your goal was to have a file that can play on your Sony PS3 (and a PC), what settings would you choose for export if you wanted to have the highest quality result?

    Jim - you were spot-on.  Here's the response from Dropcam, in case anyone else had the same issue:
    You are actually correct in that the frame rate for Dropcam's video does vary depending on a few factors. The fps slows down for night vision to average out image noise and increase the image quality. The fps will also slow down when there is no motion going on in a scene to conserve bandwidth.
    Thanks, Sean

  • In/out markers being set in the sequence instead of source clip

    Here's what's happening:
    1) I open a clip in the source monitor
    2) I set the in/out points of a subclip and drag it to the timeline, no problem
    3) I scroll around in the source monitor, finding a new clip
    4) I hit in/out and try to drag the clip from the source monitor
    5) The original clip is dragged over and I notice that the in/out points were set on my sequence instead of my source monitor.
    The issue seems to be that focus doesn't follow the mouse intuitively? The focused/highlighted window remains the sequence even if I'm actively scrolling around in the source monitor and even if I hit in/out keys while the cursor is in the source monitor window -- the only way I can get the source monitor to be the focus is if I explicitly click on it.
    I've only recently upgraded after some time over in FCP-land, but I feel as though this didn't seem to happen to me in previous versions of Premiere. Is there a preference or anything I can do to enable this to work? Many thanks in advance if anyone has ideas.
    I'm on OS X Mountain Lion.

    the only way I can get the source monitor to be the focus is if I explicitly click on it.
    That's normal.  If you want to keep focus on the Source Monitor, use the Insert or Overlay Edit commands instead of dragging.

  • Export to DPX Image sequence and keep master clip timecode?

    hi guys, shane i hope your out there!!
    i need to export (1920x1080i/50) pro-res master conform clips to DPX Image sequence for external grade, every time i've tried it exports fine, but each clips has a default timecode starting from 00..., i need to maintain original t/c as grade is external and i will be recieving files back for re-conform and online etc. i have less than 1 hour to give answers to producer, this is the first time we've used this workflow, i really want it to work as this is what guys like us wake up in the morning for, i'm sure there must be something simple i'm missing. i have a tape ready for a lay off as precaution but i really dont want to be defeated !! i'm using glue tools plug-ins any help would be much appreciated. please help me.
    regards.

    i've had to manually override timecodes on export, not at all ideal and tedious as ****, please tell me there is a simpler way of doing this, this plug is supposed to make your life easier, any feedback/advice greatly appreciated.

  • How can I use all tracks from multi-channel source audio with Multicam clips?

    I cannot figure this out. Working in Premiere I'm prepping for a 2 camera show, with typically 4 to 6 track dual-system audio recorded by the sound guy. I can sync, and make multicam clips any number of ways–whether sync by timecode, sync by audio, or eyeballing–but whenever I edit using the MC clip, Premiere mixes down all the audio channels into a stereo single track, and I cannot pick and choose which audio track from the original to use. With 2-5 people mic'd on lavs, I need to be able to choose which audio is either cut in or heard at any given shot.
    Is there any way to have control in multicam clips over which track of audio gets edited into the timeline, or even: that all tracks of audio get cut in? It's very important for the editors to be able to see waveform (which also disappears for some reason in the mixdown) and pick and choose which audio is heard?
    I'm sure this might be a simple fix, but I cannot get my head around it for workflow purposes for my assistant editors. We need to use multicam, but this audio thing is driving all of us crazy. None of us can figure out how to have a multicam clip and use it with control over what audio is cut in.

    True, but what I need to be able to do is have my multicam sequence in the source monitor, and cut into my working sequence with either just the audio I need from the sound guy's multi-channel WAV, OR cut in all the sound and from then I can just enable or disable what I need or don't need. But also be able to match back to the Multicam source from my working sequence.
    I don't want to have to open the synced sequence, and razor blade the things I need and have to copy and paste into my working sequence in order to have the full spectrum of my multi-channel mono lav WAV files...with their waveforms visible.
    Essentially, I want my Multicam clips to load in the source monitor, and the ability to cut them into the working sequence without it mixing down the audio into a single track with no visible waveform–which is what it is doing currently. Can I choose to edit in either ALL of the tracks of the WAV file along with the camera shot I want, or control which audio gets cut in?

  • Exported image is always stretched... source clips 1080p, sequence settings 720p.

    So I'm trying to export a file from FC7 at 720p, but it always comes out stretched, no matter what resolution I have the export set to. The source clips are mostly 1080p, but I chose to edit 720p because my Mac was just too slow to be able to efficiently edit in 1080p.
    Sequence settings:
    Frame Size: 1280x720 (HD 720p)
    Pixel Aspect Ration: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV (720x480)
    Anamorphic: Off
    The clip settings are mostly 1920x1080, however I'm also working with some still images that vary in resolution. In editing, all of the clips are zoomed in, as I'm trying to cut out some aspects of the image, and focus on specific details within the clip's frame.
    In the canvas, the image looks just as it should be, but whenever I export, it is noticeably stretched. I feel like I've run out of options, and I'm thinking of re-editing the entire thing (it's not that long) in 1080p. My gut tells me that it has to do with the clip formats being different from the sequence settings, but I can't figure out anything else that I could try to get it to export properly.
    I was hoping if anybody had any ideas, they could shoot them my way. I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately this did not work, but I feel like it should have when I observe the clip settings. Interestingly, when I set the sequence Pixel Aspect Ratio to square, the image on the canvas appears stretched in the same way that it does in all the exported files that I had previously created. The clip settings are as follows:
    Resolution: 1920x1080
    PAR: Square
    Compressor: H.264
    Frame rate: 59.94
    Other images that I used are varying resolutions, but also have a square PAR. The sequence settings are as I mentioned in the opening post, but here are some added details that vary from the clip settings:
    Compressor: Apple Proress422
    Frame rate: 29.97
    I tried changing all of the PAR of the clip settings to match the sequence settings, but this didn't work either. Honestly, I think I might just resort to working within 1080p where the sequence settings are changed to match the clip settings exactly, because I opened up a test sequence and it works just fine this way. I appreciate the help a lot though, thank you!

  • CS6 Match Frame Problem, Sequence Clip vs Source Clip issue

    Hey folks.
    So, I'm on Windows 7, Premiere Pro CS6.
    I've found an issue with Match Frame (Control F), it seems to be acting inconsistently.  Sometimes when I double click on a clip in my sequence and hit F it brings up the sequence clip, other times it brings up the source clip (in the Source Monitor)
    The problem here is that I'm placing markers on my sequence clips to line them up based on visual cues in the scene.  This work fine for a while, but then, seemingly randomly, I'll double click a sequence clip and when I hit F it brings up the source clip, not the sequence clip.  Now when I place markers they do not show up in the sequence because I'm marking the source clip not the sequence clip.
    Anyone else encounter this?  If needed I can try to capture video of this happening.
    Thanks all,
    ~ James

    Does this mean that it isn't possible to "Reviel in project", or otherwise locate a merged clip in the project window?
    So far "Reveal in project", and "match frame", point to the same subfile of a merged clip... not very useful. What other options are there?
    ... A sad workaround is to type in the name of the merged file in the search frame at the top of the Project pain.
    I guess this one for the feature request list.

  • Volume in multi cam sequences drastically lower than source clips

    When I put a multi cam sequence into a new sequence the volume level is drastically lower than on the source clips.  Each source clip has 2 mono audio tracks instead of 1 stereo track.  Does that make a difference?
    Rex

    Typically only A1 is used in the multicam cut, so yes the overall volume would be lower than with all audio tracks active.

  • Timecode video sync with spanned clip problem for multicam edit

    I wasn't being able to sync 3 camera angles from a recent shoot with 3 EX3's all synced using the clock on one camera as master and free run on the other two cameras as slaves. External link came up on the displays and the videos show in premiere to all have the correct embedded timecode.
    Yet, the synchronize menu via timecode doesn't work.
    I found that it must be a problem with spanned clips but I can't figure out how to get around this problem. I'm able to synchronize these clips in final cut pro 6.0.6 but not in premiere cs 5.5 or cs 4.2.
    Anybody ever have this problem or any suggestions?

    Hi Jonathan,
    It's not always so easy to do NTSC <-> PAL conversions, and it's impossible to do them in Premiere while maintaining any degree of quality.
    You can do a good job of this with AviSynth (freeware) but the learning curve may be a bit steep for a newbie. I also hear that ProCoder ($500+) does a good job of this but I've never tried it.
    As for the sync, you can chop up your PAL clip within the muticam sequence (leaving some "holes") and match up particular points manually. You'll obviously have to edit around the holes.

  • I have a sequence with 50+ clips, export each separately?

    I have a sequence with 50+ clips, each separated by a small gap, can premiere 'scene detect' and export each as a separate file, or do I need to manually adjust the work bar to each each clip and then export?

    You could do a project manage, set it to trim clips with no handles to a new location. You'll then end up with a folder full of clips, if you want those converted to a specific output format you can just do a batch export of this folder. It's a very autopilot way of achieving a result, but if there's any effects or re-sizing done to the clips this method would not work.

  • Crashes with source sequences in timeline

    Hey Guys,
    I use the new feature of making my selects from a sequence as a source timeline.
    However I get crashes about 40% of the time when I close one of the sequences tabs.
    Also I get this message.
    then:
    Anyone experience this?
    I am running:
    Premiere pro v8.1 on an iMAC running OS X 10.9.5
    let me know,
    Thanks!
    - J

    Anyone???

  • I am having trouble with Imovie I finished my project but when i try to play it it says "source clip is missing" Help!

    it says "source clip is missing" Help!

    Hi
    Did You move or alter any folder named
    • iMovie Event's - or
    • iMovie Project's
    on DeskTop/Finder - if so - You must not do that - try to put all back
    Did You in iMove trash any Event's - then don't - try to get them back by looking in trash-basket on DESKTOP. Move them out and back into iMovie Event's.
    This problem might be due to the idea that there is a copy/movie in the Project - it's not !
    You are using a NON-Destructive Video Editing program (all behaves in this way) and that means that PROJECT's are only a small text document pointing to What material You want to use, Where it is located e.g. in iMovie Event's - and how it's meant to be played.
    If You move or delete any of the raw material - the Project will point to an empty space = Can Not be played.
    WILDLY GUESSING - PLEASE no Offence ! (I've been here and done this - so I guess in this way)
    Yours Bengt W

  • Preserving Source Clip Information Upon Export In Premiere

    Is there a way to export clips from sequence timeline and preserve source clip metadata?
    Example - I have a clip I used warp stabilizer on and I have marked the clip with in/out. Now I would like to export the clip with same clip name and source timecode and hoping there is a setting to do so.
    Thanks, Chris

  • Multiple instances of the same source clip in Project bin

    This is a strange one.
    I think its more an issue now than ever due to tapeless format editing. I edit lots of video now shot on Canon 5d. They sometimes have thousands of individual clips.
    The problem is that our project files are getting huge and premiere slows to a grinding halt.
    We copy paste lots of timelines from one project to another. When we paste, all of the source clips land in the project bin (as you would expect) However, sometimes I have already made reference to the same source files in the edit to begin with (So they are already in the project bin)
    However, when I paste a new timeline, it will make another reference to that same source clip in the project bin. Therefore double up reference to a souce clip in the project. Increasing the clips in the overall project, which bloats everything and slows premiere down.
    Can premiere be smarter? Can it see that the source file already exists in the project and link to that existing file instead of creating another reference to the same file?
    Hope that makes sence.

    I am beginning to think that there is no easy way around this issue.
    I have started to use Final Cut and am noticing lots of differences between the two platforms. I have been a Adobe Premiere user for 10 years and I concider myself a NINJA using this program. However, there are definitly differences between the two, this being one of them.
    Final cut does not double up on source references in your project bin when copying one sequence from one project into another.
    CLEVER
    Its annoying that premiere doubles files up as it gets ridiculously messy in your project bin. Double ups, triple ups, quadruple ups the list goes on.
    Its strange cause when you start a Prem project from scratch and import a source clip, you can set in and out points as many times as possible and drag onto the timeline, and it does not duplicate the original source file in the project bin. Thus keeping your project bin neat and clean. However, as soon as you paste a sequence, it goes and duplicates refeneces like its outta control, rather than looking at what you alraedy have in your project bin and saying to itself. (Hmmm well the source clip is already here, so we dont have to duplicate this one....move onto the next file)
    Prem is great at lots of things, dont get me wrong. I freaking love the program, however, things like this let it down as the program becomes unusable as it gets bogged down with way too many clip references.
    Hmmm, we shall see who wins the day in the end. Time do do some Final Cut edditing now.
    P.S. Final cut can do 16 multi clips in a real time edit. Premiere...only 4...come on Prem, pick up your game!

  • Two problems with audio clips

    Hello,
    I'm having two problems with audio clips:
    1. When I try to drag a clip from the viewer, I can't do it because it won't let me drag the clip. It only lets me drag the pointer around within the clip.
    2. When I drag an audio clip from the browser into the timeline I don't get any audio, just a series of beeps (and yes, my audio media is on-line -- I can listen to it in the viewer, just not the timeline).
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    1. Drag the little hand on speaker icon to drag from
    the Viewer...
    Thanks! (Does it actually say that in the documentation anywhere? I try to RTFM, but the FM seems to be a little, er, mute on this point.)
    2. It means your sequence settings don't match the
    properties of the source audio you're putting in it,
    and you either need to change the settings in the
    sequence, or render the audio.
    Ah, that would explain it. Thanks!
