  • Cannot open MOVs in Premiere Pro on Windows (dvh2?)

    Posted by Joan Fernandez on April 6, 2010 at 2:18 pm

    Hi

    I’ve been given some *.mov videos to edit and I cannot open them in Windows (win 7) to work in Premiere CS4.
    The video files were made or captured from Mac system and exported into mov files.

    I think the files are codified in “dvh2” codec, but I havent beeen able to get info about this codec.

    Is it possible to read and work with this MOV files on Windows?

    Thank you very much

    Don’t know about dvh2,but H264 mov out of a Canon 5D mark II can be edited in Pro, but, you may need to render the timeline if you can get them there. Or convert the whole lot to avi, we work in HD only. As we use an older version of PPro it does not like mov. files however, a later version of Adobe Premiere Elements can handle Quicktime MOV and we just move (transcode) the whole timeline from Premiere Elements as an uncompressed file back into Premiere Pro as Cineform avi for final editing.

    Hi,

    I believe that’s DVCProHD 1080p25 MOV files – which PPro doesn’t understand natively.

    You can try out our Calibrated{Q} DVCProHD Decode here:

    (In DEMO MODE it will watermark 7 gray rectangles over the video).

    Cheers,
    Greg
