Capture in FCP Edit in Premiere Pro
Here is the situation. I have hours upon hours of footage that have been captured into FCP, by Editor A. I, Editor B also using FCP, now need to get this footage to Editor C who is using Premiere Pro 5. I sent him a 3 second clip of the raw footage captured in FCP. I’m not very good when it comes to codecs but when I do “get info” it says the codes are Video: HDV 1080i, Audio: Integer (Little Endian).
Basically my question is can I import the raw footage captured in FCP to Adobe Premiere Pro 5? Is there a way I can create a project that is compatible with Premiere Pro from FCP?
Thanks

The footage would be best if captured in a ProRes codec. The Apple HDV intermediate codec is not happy outside of FCP.
Hope this helps.

It looks like it’s the FCP HDV rewrap… Isn’t AiC an I-Frame codec?
I think that this (along with the DVCProHD QT codec) is providence of FCP alone.
I’d second the ProRes suggestion…

If the Premier Editor is working on a PC, you can’t do it. HDV Quictimes don’t play in the PC universe at all (nor do XDCAM Quicktimes.) You’ll have to transcode everything to something else.
