CS6 Premiere HDRX tutorial?

[Ivan G]

Anyone have a link to step by step Premiere HDRX tutorials? I recently updated to the new labs and open source is working but the results are horrible. I'm thinking A and X are two different tracks but when I make a change to A it also effects X. Pleas help!

same in here!

I GIVE UP! I'm back to FCP7...

I don't see how this has anything to do with adobe. Both Premiere and RedCineX operate with HDR Mode in the same way. I have not been able to separate tracks in Red Cine X either, unless there is an update I don't know about.
Have you tried creating your results inside RedcineX and then exporting an RMD file and updating the file in premiere?

You have to import the clip twice. Designate one as X and one as A

After all the frustration I'm having with CS6 I decided to roll back, it wasn't just the HDRx issue. Adobe tech support was being routed to Ghandi and after a few hours of getting no where I ended it.

Pros
Being able to mix and match codecs on the same sequence is amazing!
Not having to encode is also great!

Cons
AVCHD files are extremely buggy in CS6. No audio playback is one of them, occasionally.
Audio architecture is too complicated for no reason.
Can not set autosave vault on a different destination drive.
Adding effects is still stone age.
Poor plug in support.

I have a list at work this was just off the top of my head.

Well, for puristic editing experience, you should use all I-frame codecs with premiere.. then watch the magic and compare..
editing in native codecs got many challenges so far, and thats becouse of the nature of long GOP codecs.. the good news is that it works in PPro, so, if you have light editing project do it natively, but, if you are going to eat every frame of your footage and have temper issues (like I do) then the best way is to go all I.. and R3D works perfect at reduced preview resolution..
for plug-ins, well, use AE and precomp via dynamic link.. you just need a hefty workstation with a lot of ram to do the job well..
also remember "out of memory" msg is absent in PPro, you will suffer a lot with FCP in large projects.. and many things of that sort..

PPro isn't the greatest editing app, its just one of them, you get pros and cons such as any other app..
in the end you'll suffer either here or there.. it depends what kind of suffering you can take.. the App makers are there to make money, and the only way to do it is to make u suffer.. the more you suffer, the more you're ready to pay for the new version that will end some of this suffering..

take it easy..

Thanks for the reply Mo. Just for the record I was using the I-frame codec.

My grind here is that FCP did it for years and ran great. I'm not going to continue and cry about how AP could of literally blown away FCP because it could have easily been done, the new AP has proven it.

As for swapping between apps to use plug-ins and not create sophisticated effects, that's pretty lame.

Premiere is nice but no FCP back in it's day.

you mean you converted your material to an I-frame codec (ie. ProRes, DNxHD or Cineform) before you start editing. or you mean you used the I-frame mpeg codec in the sequence settings for preview?

[Ivan G]

I used the I-frame for preview.
