Repost: NXCAM and CS4
Any suggestions how I get NXCAM 1920×1080 from a Sony NX5 to work in Premiere CS4? Video is conformed okay when imported, but all I get for the audio track is literally white noise.
I tried delinking the audio from an mpeg SD 720×576 stream and then linked that with the HD vision footage, but the footage differs by 10 frames when stacked on the time line.
I am able to import HDV 1440 x 1080/50i from my Z1P and FX1 without problem, but I lose the audio track when I bring in footage from my NX5.
Google suggests changing the NX5 audio aquisition format from LPCM to Dolby Digital, but they also indicate audio/video sync issues creep in.
Any suggestions/experiences welcome.

There was a good discussion on this subject a few months ago. If you’ve already read it, forgive me.

BTW, how do the NXCAM clips perform in Vegas?

I had no problems with Vegas Pro 10 when I tested it. They sometimes locked up Vegas in version 9 when scrubbing along the time line and doing basic cuts, so I transcoded that to AVI.
I was aware of the Dolby Digital solution, but I have seen other posts suggesting that NXCAM footage loses audio/video sync during export. I am testing that theory on CS4 after changing the cameras audio settings.

Don’t know if this is within your budget, but CS5 is MUCH better at handling AVCHD footage than CS4 was.

[Steve Brame] “CS5 is MUCH better at handling AVCHD footage than CS4 was”
Steve understates this…even with the caps on “MUCH”.
I don’t know many people who use(d) AVCHD with CS4 that didn’t transcode to CineForm or something like that.

Thanks guys
I am actually helping someone out and we have been trying various things. He has Vegas 9 Pro but only cos it came with his NX5. He will use it to transcode footage to a HDV 1440/1080i intermediary file so that he can edit in CS4.
I did suggest the upgrade, but it ain’t cheap.

In fact, with CS4 we DID transcode all AVCHD clips to Cineform. Now, when we have to revisit a CS4 edited project, the first thing we do, time-permitting, is replace all of the Cineform clips in the project with the original AVCHD clips so that we can delete the Cineform clips and gain a huge space saving.

Apparently the NXCAM LPCM issue is fixed in CS5 – but not sure if there is a fix for CS4.
