Advanced

The Advanced Settings pane contains some options that should only be adjusted in response to very specific issues. Generally, you shouldn't make changes here unless our support staff have specifically instructed you. This panel's default is for all options to be unchecked.

Prefer Legacy Color Science for Premiere Pro

When transcoding xvYCC (extended-gamut YCbCr) footage to ProRes, Adobe Premiere Pro can experience color management glitches. While these issues are reduced in newer versions of Premiere Pro, enabling this option may correct color rendering issues if you're using a version from 2023 or earlier.

Ignore H.264/HEVC data levels

Video files can store their brightness information within a couple of different ranges. Historically, all video files were in what was called "video range". To allow for more dynamic range, some cameras allow you to instead record brightness information in "data" or "full" range. By default, EditReady will preserve data range video levels during the transcoding process. However, this can make video content look very high contrast if the playback application isn't taking that range into account. Checking this box will change how EditReady converts those files in those cases.

Disable A/V Synchronization

Cameras often write metadata to files that perform basic synchronization adjustments to account for differences between the frame and audio sample lengths. EditReady preserves these edits (called an edit list or ELST). In some cases, though, cameras incorrectly write ELST data, so it's better to ignore that metadata.

Maintain Source Audio Track Count

Audio is stored in tracks and channels within media files. An audio track stores at least one audio channel but may contain many more. Cameras often record audio with multiple single-channel (mono) tracks. However, converting files to a single track with multiple channels is often better for performance reasons. That's the default behavior for EditReady. Check this box to maintain the original track structure of your source format.
