Well, I think this is your best episode yet. I watched the first bit and was thinking "Where is the offline reference footage". You have raised the bar so high, that us mere mortals will have to work a lot harder to come anywhere near your tutorials. My only advice ( and you knew this was coming ) is that for the work I have done in the past, rarely do I have to do the whole thing like you have done here. But I do understand that a lot of people will be doing just that. In a lot of cases, I have had ametaur editors that have done the Premiere part of this puzzle and I have had to make screencasts and type out what I needed on their end. So my advice is to take this video and cut a version for your subs to link to Premiere editors, showing what is required to make things easier. They might not watch a whole end to end video if they aren't interested in the steps in Resolve. But I know that it would have been a great resource for me in the past to link to a video ( like yours ) showing the steps that you have here to get the prep that would make the whole thing smoother from the get go. I had to do the same with Final Cut Pro as well. It seemed that the xml from FCP had media offline because the xml had absolute paths to all the media. It was the way the client had it set up. Luckily I have FCP and figured it out on my end - Then as I mentioned with the Premiere hobbyist export, I had to do a step by step for FCP as well. Anyway, this video is really well thought out and executed. I envy your abilities in presentation of the information. Another great job. Now take a break for a few days and relax. -Cheers.
Thanks Jim. OK, good point re. a short version of what to do in Premiere for Resolve. Thanks for that. I'll look into it. Thanks for kind words....I spend most of the time planning the content and order and best way to deliver the message - recording it from there is pretty straight forward. Regards take a break...would be nice but back in a client attend grade tomorrow. The shop is busy! Cheers again Jim.
So 'Adobe Premiere Pro Editors' facebook page took down my post..are you an admin on that group? Just trying to help Adobe users get it right. I never said Premiere was bad, its a workflow thing ? Can you help?
small addition to the offline reference. Once imported and linked with the timeline you can hit Ctrl + W to toggle the reference in the timeline viewer. By default it's set to a horizontal wipe, but it's always great to check resizes, dissolves and retime effects in difference mode. Note that video compression (of the ref file) will have a subtile effect on that, but in gerenal you can guarantee the best results by checking in difference mode. also a side note on ref files. Sometimes with certain codecs or mismatches, the timecode can get mixed up, therefore timeline and ref file won't be in sync. To fix this, go to your ref files Clip Attributes and fix the clip timecode.
Darren! You saved my life. I had always problems with resized clips from Premiere in DaVinci. You are my hero! Thanx a lot and greetings from Munich, Germany
Awesome video Darren, I don't think anyone has explained this long overdue topic in such a detail, hope you decide to make a masterclass someday so we could learn even more and you could directly benefit as well
Thank you Fahad. Please subscribe to my exclusive email list which I know will benefit you in the future, I can't say much more than that! All the best, darren. ** bit.ly/2RrjvpN
Absolute gold! As you said around 5 mins in, you do put a lot of work into them, that much is extremely evident. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Darren, really appreciate it.
Thank you. Yes I put a lot of work into these. That is why I cant put them out once or twice a week. Appreciate your patience and glad you enjoy them. Darren.
Really useful video. I am looking forward to seeing future tutorials on bringing a colour-graded file back into the original Premiere pre-export file and re-applying all the graphics and titles that weren’t graded.
I am new to transferring a project into Da Vinci - most users can confirm it is no easy transition. Thanks for such a clear video which is informative and also tackles the common issues that the software often bring up.
Casual drop of a tip really....I usually do it your way because have been doing it like that for 12 years now! I'll pretend it was a cool way though! #alwayslearning
Just to restate - this was the best. We now have a repeatable, trustable workflow that absolutely works - scales, etc etc from proxies or original raws - Premiere to Resolve. One slight change for us - we needed to move Resolve to CENTER CROP NO RESIZE to have proper scaling on the Resolve timeline. Thank you. Thank you. Darren i hope to see you @ NAB to shake your hand and buy you a drink.
dude just found your channel and you are the freaking best!! Side note - really would love a color management tutorial or series of tutorials that are in-depth from beginning to end. Other people have tried, but you seem to have a good feel for how much detail to get into. It's easy to underestimate just how confusing the topic is.
Thank you so , so very much for this detailed explanation. You've saved me hours of troubleshooting and exporting and reimporting and adjusting sizing manually. Cheers
Hey Darren thanks for your work! At first i thought i know anything about conforming but then you came across with the handy “set to frame size” premiere button😅 lovely . Keep up the good work
Man thank you for this videos, you are helping me with my college works, im studying Audiovisual Communication for making videos, movies, or anything, thank you so much dude!
Really well done video. Answered all my questions. **NOTE** If you change a clips time via right click and 'reverse time' it will NOT carry over correctly. For these clips I baked individually, then did XML
You can. There are just a few places (at time of writing) left on my Masterclass LIVE in 12 days - LAST FEW TICKETS LEFT! courses.darrenmostyn.com/aopcg-spring-2023/
So pleased to hear that. Glad I saved you time and probably some pain!! Thank you so much for the subscription...really means a lot and I count every single one as a new friend! Enjoy the channel. LIVE coming soon so keep an eye out or hit the bell thing. Thanks again. Darren
Fantastic video Darren! I'm about to start making the move from Quantel Rio to Resolve and I really need all the metadata to come over from Premiere. The Quantel Rio had no problem seeing SMPTE transition and Position and Scale etc through an AAF. But I now need the same to happen through Resolve. The AAF route didn't seem to work, so I will try the XML option after seeing your video! Thanks again!
Great as always! Long time ago when i was on Premier I knew about "set to frame size" but forgot about it. Recently i had a lot of XML work with all that reframming, oh man it was pain in a... Where are you bin half year ago!))) But better later then newer. Thank you!
I can hear colorists/assistants applauding around the world. This is a MUST SEE for Pr editors. Well done. Of course, the easiest way is to edit in Resolve. (sorry, couldn’t resist) Next up: Multicam and nested clips conform??
Bro! Thanks so much! I got and installed and wNice tutorialle watcNice tutorialng tNice tutorials I'm following your steps, and I really fully understand. So Kool! Thanks
+1 to this! I do not do complex or cross-platform work, but immediately saw how this feature -- one I have never explored -- could be very helpful! Thanks for the call out, and thanks to Darren for pointing it out!
It would have been nice to see the whole round trip: premiere to davinci and then back to premiere. And, if that weren't enough, a peek at the XML file itself to see what's going on a little under the hood.
