  Need to export HD video out of Premiere Pro CS3 and into FCP for a client

  Posted by Kyle Conner on September 3, 2009 at 3:58 pm

  I have an hour long HD video in Premiere Pro CS3 and need to send it to someone who will import it into FCP so they can air it. I was going to export it via h.264, but it appears that FCP doesn’t like this format. Does anyone know the best way to accomplish this?

  Find out their preferred delivery format, and go from there. Is laying to tape an option?

  Hi Kyle,

  Are you working on a Mac or PC? If on a Mac it may be that the FCP editor can work with the same files you are. If not, Animation codec is high quality and compatible cross-platform, but the FCP editor would then have to convert to a better editing format.

  All the best,
  Alex

  I am in a similar situation and did not see a resolution to this post. I am ingesting HDCPROHD tape into Premiere Pro CS3, but I need to get it to a FCP editor. What is the best format to convert this to for my editor working in FCP?

  Thanks.

  It’s tape or a P2 card? And you need to kick out the raw footage or a finished cut?
