Another 5 star video. Can you create a vid regarding the need to rename camera originals before editing (using Adobe Bridge or other) for at least 10 reasons I won't name here?
Finally a clear explanation of conform, vs relinking media - in the last seconds of your tutorial. Conform was always a bit of a black box editors phrase, lacking useful clarity. I have have used the relink method extensively to swap out h.265 originals for ProRes 422Hq “originals” matched with my prores 422Lt proxies. Soto achieve a full ProRes workflow. But this requires maintaining full length identically named clips. Now I understand how conform uses clip name and timecode to lock matching proxy/original clips I have another toolset that is better for rebuilding projects from “edited” footage.
Great to hear this helps. I have an outline of a full conform tutorial with all the gotchas. Would this be helpful? Or do you find that relinking works best for your work?
@@CreativeVideoTips I am developing a professional colourist career, so mastering all the ways of ingesting footage, and managing timeline clips is expected by clients. Reading about techniques in the BMD manuals only takes one’s understanding so far. Watching others -like yourself- demonstrate the use of the language and associated techniques takes understanding further. Leaving only purposeful practice as one’s last step towards understanding. Any “creative video tips” you provide help bridge the gaps between theory and practice are thus very welcome- even if it is necessary to watch several times to catch the nuance in your demonstration. I really appreciate your direct succinct approach. You do not usually waffle, nor do you over explain, or oversell. You most often stop just far enough short of an overblown explanation that the student needs to actively engage and exercise their imagination to complete their understanding. This is very different to those typical other’s tutorials that lead a student to invest excessive effort to merely figure out which aspects of their explanations are unnecessary or fundamentally incorrect. Thus, your channel is one of the top half a dozen I feel utterly confident in recommending to fellow travellers on the road to mastery.
Excellent contents! step by step tutorial is awesome even for a beginner like me. Everything was fine before I get 'Media Offline' on my project. can you help me with that?
Such a good question! Using proxies will have the biggest impact but YES still use a 1080 timeline for the rough cut, then upres before export. The computer is working much harder to process 4x the pixels when timeline is set to 4k.
17:12 if you change the resolution of the timeline, but lets say the editor has placed several graphics, text etc. … doesn't that mean that they all look off place when you change from 1080 to 4k?
So helpful! Q: how did you monitor and control the iPhone on your desktop? Or is it a comp? Or both? Also very curious how you manage projects with thousands of timelines, I find the bigger projects backups become slow and occasionally hang. (Big timelines)
Thanks so much! The phone is live into OBS captured by DouWan app. You could comp it and use built in screen recording but trying to speed up production to create a lot more tutorials this year. For big projects, actually all of my main work is using the network Postgres databases. This is the fastest performance and also has an optimize button and ability to nightly backup that I taught on last week. However you can also right click to disable timelines in the bins. This is suppose to make it lighter but on the short form commercial work I do I never felt a difference disabling timelines. Plugins can drag the system so be selective on what you really need. I only use about 5.
humm, plugins, good to know. I tend to only use a couple in a timeline from izotop or ozone, but usually only a couple are actually live during playback. But I do have a lot that load in on boot up, so when you say be selective, do you mean on which ones are processing or which ones are loaded in the effects bins?@@CreativeVideoTips
Nice! It is actually a very basic script I made in Automator. Are you on a Mac? Trying to gauge interest to teach how to make it. Post Haste is a free app that can do similar but I like clicking a single button.
