Cineform as a replacement for ProRes
Hi, when editing in FCP I always use ProRes as the sequence and output codec because of it’s high quality and low bandwidth requirement, could I use the Cineform codec give in the same way in Premiere Pro?
We use a lot of XDCam EX material and I’d like to keep the rendering in 422 if possible

From my experience quality/bandwidth with cineform is even better.
The non destructive meta data and the live functions are not seen any where else.
Like overlaying time codes, filenames, primary color correction and even video scopes. This overlays “with one click” on to the footage. Even if this material is all ready in your premiere pro timeline and edited, it will instantly show up in your project:) you can render it with all the data or turn it off by “one click”.XDCAM EX works just fine natively with PrP. Output to cineform HD is by default 422.
But if you want to output real XDCAM EX format and structure you still need a Main Concept Pro plug in. -
Be sure to import your native EX clips in through the Media Browser. It takes care of all spanned clips. I just copy the entire directory structure into a dated folder on my array, then point the media browser to it and drag all my clips into a folder in my project panel.

Can you export a final project as a Cineform file or is it only an intermediate type of codec for use during editing? I often send a final QT Pro Res file to our post house for outputting to tape. Can I send them a Cineform file instead?
