Re: [Avid-L2] Porting a Project From Premiere Pro to Media Composer?

The best luck I have had with this is to go from Premiere to Resolve and then from resolve to Avid.

Re: [Avid-L2] Porting a Project From Premiere Pro to Media Composer?

It won't work at the project level.  Certainly not for what you'd need for real film project.  Sequences are doable, but audio can be tricky since Premiere is quite different in that regard than Avid.  Won't get into that hornets nest right now.

Even though Premiere can work with AAFs directly, it can help to move the sequence through DaVinci Resolve as an intermediary step.  It was designed from the ground up to round trip sequences with other NLEs.

This dude in the video is blithely having a nice day with one short sequence.

And, you know, fine for a sequence or two. But I need an entire feature project, all dailies, everything transcoded and sync'd.

I do appreciate you forwarding this link. It helps contextualize the scope of the task.

Much obliged.

Media and bins I’d do from scratch. You *might* then have some luck getting an AAF export of sequences to then link up to the Avid media.

PP is actually pretty good these days - I’ve pretty much abandoned MC. Toss up wether I’ll renew my perpetual license at the end of the month. (But I don’t cut features.)

Re: [Avid-L2] Porting a Project From Premiere Pro to Media Composer?

Sounds like if they want me to do this then they need to hire an AE to just take all the original camera files, audio, etc., open up MC, and transcode everything from scratch. Might be the most efficient thing of all.

Again, unless someone has a workflow that gets me from PP to MC with minimal fuss.

Hi, peoples,

I'm being asked to re-cut a feature that was edited on Premiere Pro. I don't do Premiere Pro. Strictly a Media Composer guy.

Are there any protocols/procedures/tricks for taking a Premiere Pro project and porting it over wholesale to Media Composer, complete with bin/folder structure, metadata, and even perhaps transcoding media to a DNxHD resolution?

Anyone encounter this situation and do it successfully?

Counsel appreciated. 'Cause if this can't be done with relative ease, then I'm turning down the show.

Much obliged,

Background

 

Avid-L was established in 1994 at Calvin College by Steven Koster.

It was created to be a forum for Avid users to meet, discuss, and share

information.

 

 Avid-L quickly grew into the premiere on-line users group for

professional film and video editors. It was one of the earliest examples

of an Internet community, allowing hundreds of editors worldwide to

share their experiences and expertise with their peers. There was no

better place for a professional Avid editor to get such wealth of

informed professional advice.

At various times, individual subscribers volunteered services to the

group. Searchable archives were maintained by Germany's Berlin Users

Group as well as the UIUC. A tips & tricks list was posted by Andy

Birkhead of Innovative Edit. Wes Plate, a longtime contributor, not only

shared key techniques on his Web site, he also created a photo gallery

for members' portraits.

 

In 1997, several subscribers began a tradition of meeting in person at

the NAB trade show in Las Vegas. The first gatherings were organized by Jaime Fowler. In 1999,

Avid Technology itself began sponsoring these gatherings as an exclusive reception and seminar for Avid-L members only.  In 2002, this changed to the "Avid Users Group" meeting.

 

By 1999, Avid-L boasted over 1600 subscribers, exhibiting a true

international scope with over 300  international members. The community

included participants from a wide variety of well-known corporate

organizations in broadcasting, technical, and content creation fields,

as well as and  multiple local TV stations, colleges, and universities.

 

In 2000, Avid-L joined AvidProNet.com, and then, in 2002, was integrated

Into Avid.com.  

 

In 2005 Due to problems with signal to noise ratio and abusive posters, the Avid-L2 was formed. A year later the Avid-L was discontinued by Avid.

 

At the middle of 2006, the L2 has around 1100 members, with plenty of "lurker only" members who simply use the web version of the list.  The L2 is spam-free, by moderation and with Groups.io’s tools and will remain that way.  

 

In 2019,  the Group has migrated to Groups,io from the previous Yahoo engine-   the Groups.io page  maintains the complete Avid-L2 archive.    The original Avid-L archive has been lost to the history of the interwebz.

 

Welcome, and Enjoy!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts.

On the plus side for Resolve - you can see the audio track metadata on the timeline clips. Not sure if the metadata survived autosync/merging (it doesn't in PP)

Re: [Avid-L2] Semi OT: Bandwidth Bragging Rights!!!

That's the same model I went with.  Bought it from NewEgg back in April for $4,399 with free shipping.  Using it for archival storage while I digitize decades of material.  Haven't tested it as online media storage yet, other projects have pushed setting up a 10G network to later in December.

Re: [Avid-L2] Semi OT: Bandwidth Bragging Rights!!!

Playing around transferring from 3 raw Hitachi Deskstar 4TB Project BU drives simultaneously.  Two drives in cheap usb 3 docks plugged into my Sonnet Allegro USB 3 PCIe card in my expansion chassis and one drive in a voyager drive hooked esata to my OWC Accelsior SSD PCIe Card with esata connection in the macpro tower.  According to the QNAP Resource Monitor the load is pulling into the QNAP at around 480MB/sec.  That's right around 160MB/sec for each drive.  Not too shabby.

Re: [Avid-L2] Semi OT: Bandwidth Bragging Rights!!!

I went with the TS-1677XU-RP around $5K.  I didn't need a switch as I only have one workstation now and I can add a second computer with the second 10 Gig port on the chassis.  16 x16TB Seagate ST16000NM001G-2KK103 EXOS drives.  I had to go with a more expensive Sonnet Presto 10G card at about $300 vs. a little over a $100 because my system runs more stable on 10.12.6 due to my Nvidia GPUs.  If I could commit to 10.13.6 and above I could have gone with the cheaper 10 Gig NIC in my expansion chassis.
