Edius 6 BEATS Premiere CS5.5
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 2:14 pm
We all know that Edius 6 is a great piece of editing software, I have always promoted it as a very good editor (it is the other bits and support that are lacking).
Anyway I went to Liverool on Saturday and Sunday to see the Sea Oddessey, you may have seen the giant marionettes on the News, a 60 foot diver, a 30 foot girl and a 6 foot dog walking around the streets. If you missed it shame...................awesome.
Setting the scene, I am there with my Panasonic TM900 with Rode VideoPro mike all set up in manual mode and the sound level cut way down for the very loud music being played and it is set to record 1080i to the 32Gb Kingston SD card which had been re-formatted by the TM900 after previously using it in my Panasonic 151.
Part way through I get a data write error message.
Quick switch to the internal memory and continue.
Back home the video on the internal memory transferred to my PC and all played back great
The video on the SD card copied OK to the PC
In Premiere and Edius the file that caused the data corruption message would not load
In Premiere another file would not show or play audio but the video played OK then froze on a single frame of an event that was on the SD card before it was re-formatted (the timeline continued to play it was just an image that froze). After tweaking the file (cutting it before and after the freeze point) I tried to export the timeline to an MPG4 file and it kept failing.
Now into Edius 6, the same file would freeze visually at the same point as Premiere but the audio would continue with no problem. then after unlinking the audio from the video I took out the frozen section of video and successfully exported the unedited rushes to an MPG4 file that I could watch on the TV.
Well done Edius
