Hi there all. I hope someone can help. I edited a feature film and the colorist is ready to start grading.
This is my first feature so the colorist walked me through his preferred workflow. He told me to use project manager to consolidate the project and we agreed on Cineform as our mezzanine. Great, sounds easy enough - except that Project Manager won't do it. It gets partway through the process and then stops due to an 'Unknown Error'. Then it deletes everything it's already copied to the destination folder, Premiere stops responding, and I have to force quit. No exaggeration, across the past 72 hours I have probably had this happen 20 times.
Usually after it's been transcoding for hours, which makes troubleshooting very costly in time. Things I have tried: 1. 'Copy & Collect' instead of Transcoding 2. Rebooting everything. Uninstall/reinstall of Premiere & encoder 4. Updated firmware for the RAID system the footage is stored on 5.

Created a new, clean Premiere project and imported ONLY the sequence with the picture locked cut Nothing has worked. I am days behind my deadline to ship the drive (colorist is in another state) and feeling like I've hit a wall.
My next step is to split the sequence into parts and try transcoding individual parts to isolate the problem, but does anyone have any deeper insight? Also, I don't know if it's related, but Project Manager's 'Calculate' function seems super broken. Its 'Resulting Project Size' calculations have been WAY off every time I've tried it. Specs: Premiere CC 2015.4 (started on 2015 and as part of my troubleshooting updated to.4) Intel i7 3770k, 16GB, Geforce GTX 660 Windows 8.1 Drobo Pro Footage is a mix: primarily 2k Raw, Sony Fs700 to an Odyssey7.
(I read somewhere on an old forum that Project Manager used to lack support for Long-GOP formats and that the Convergent Design recorders were long GOP but my understanding is that Project Manager should support that now? I'm a bit confused by all of that so clarification would be helpful. These files are.dng image sequences.) and B camera stuff shot on Fs100 to a Ninja in ProRes.
Plus a few shots on a Black Magic 2.5k and a little bit of GoPro. Anybody who has experience with Project Manager, particularly if you've worked with feature-sized projects, I'd love to hear from you.
Thank you all! PS: When I actually get this to work, how large will my output be?
Either transcoding in Cineform 12bit or copying source files? Since this is my first feature length project I have no idea what to expect. The film is 96 minutes. Hi Mollie, Sorry you're running into some trouble here. A few things that can trigger this error: 1. Copying to full drive (nearly full drive) 2.
Spanned clips in the project 3. Enabling 'Include Preview Files' 4. Copying to a long destination/file path and/or name 5. If the audio has been modified via Modify >Audio Channels Long GOP is supported for Consolidate and Transcode, if the Format/Preset supports it. In the case the preset does not support it, then the file will be copied and not transcoded. I hope some of the above info is helpful.
