View Full Version : First light works in source window, not in program window

Okay. I'm just now understanding all this so bear with me.

I work with Premiere Pro CS4. I've never moved my source clips. I color corrected with firstlight, finished my project and exported, worked great.

Now I just came back to the original project, and I'm playing around with firstlight again. It seems all my new firstlight color correction shows up on the clips in premeire's source window, but leaves those snippets in my program window unaffected.

In order for me to color correct anything in my program window, I have to drag the "new" source clip down on to the time line and replace the old one (even though it's the exact same clip - I've checked the properties)

Somehow the metadata isn't transfering?

Any suggestions?

Okay... I solved this problem. I just had to "delete render files"... makes sense.

Although, this brings up another question. I have Prospect HD with CS4. All the cineform footage I import comes in under a yellow render line. is this normal? Are my project settings correct?

Editing mode: Desktop
Timebase: 29.97fps

Video Settings
Frame size: 1920h 1080v (1.0000)
Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)

(It seems to play just fine, but requires rendering before export.)

Yellow bars is standard for the CS4 playback engine.
