First of all sorry about my english and about my poor knowledge in audio.
I need your help for adapting my workflow for editing my videos.
I will try to explain you the workflow I use when the source footage is HDV or AVCHD:
1) First I build proxy files.
I create one AVI file for each source footage file (with DV MainConcept CODEC for video and copying the stream for audio). For this task I use DGAVCIndex(for AVCHD files) or DGIndex(for HDV files) + Avisynth + VirtualDub.
2) Then I edit my film using the proxy files
I use Premiere Elements 7 for editing the film using the proxy files (AVIs with DVCodec). With these files the edition is very fast and very stable.
3) Before compiling the film, I prepare the final project
When I finish the proxy proyect, I close it from PE7, I open the proxy proyect file with WORD, rename all '.AVI' for '.MTS'(for AVCHD) or '.M2T'(for HDV), and I save it as the final project file.
4) And finally I export my film
I open the final project file in PE7 and then I share it to a file or to a BlueRay
My camcorder is an HV30 Canon model, but in a few months I would like to change it for a TM900 Panasonic model. I was waiting for something new coming from Canon but Canon is living in the past (where are the 60p or 50p canon camcorders for consumers?)
These days I am trying to adapt my workflow for my future TM900, and I am using one footage coming from the TM700 model (mts). I do not have any problems for converting the image to DVMainConcep Codec, but I have problems in converting the audio. The audio in the source file is 5.1 PCM format, and I am copying the audio stream to the proxy (AVI file). VirtualDub finishes ok but when I import the proxy file in PE7 is considered as mono instead 5.1, and PE7 denies me to put it in a 5.1 track.
Do you have any idea about how to save the proxy in VirtualDub in order to have 5.1 when I import it to PE7?
I tried with VirtualDubMod, I tried using AC3ACM codec, but PE7 crashes with all of the files created with it.
Thanks in advance,
