Clip from FCP to Premiere Pro
Hi all,
I read a lot of thread about the subject, but I am not done yet.
I have to export a clip for a commercial edited in FCP to an external company which works only with Premiere Pro. My footage is DVCPro 960x720p .
I tried to give them mov and avi, but there are strong problems with quality.
Some of you has some suggestion?
Thanks a lot -

Thanks Rafael,
I will suggest them to download it. In case they did not agree to pay for the software, is there a good way to do it through compressor or quicktime conversion? -
Hi Christian,
I do not work with DVCPro HD but I think this is the only way.
I think I heard Jeremy recommending this application few time.
However I’m not fully sure, make a search in this forum.
You may ask as well Shane Ross that works a lot with DVCProHD.
I guess that QT for Windows do not support this codec, so QT for Windows can not open the .mov.

Hi Raphael,
I know that windows doesn’t support the codec. I was wondering if there was some rule to do it with compressor. Since the final version will be a PAL DVD 720×576, I think I could do something on my clip before exporting. I am still thinking how to deal with the aspect ratio. I know that our customer wants a 16:9 version of the footage. -
Hi Christian,
I’ve been having a look again to the Raylight website and I think that is not what you need. Sorry.
Raylight is for the opposite purpose: To use the MFX files from the P2 in FC.
I think that your only solution is transcoding.
Do it in Compressor and f the final product is SD, do the downscaling at the same time.
you can go to Proress. They will be able to open the files in PP with the free ProRess reader for Window.

Why do you have to convert at all? If you’re editing on a Mac, Premiere Pro should read any QT file without any problems. I’ve also taken FCP capture ProRes clips and edited them on a PC Premiere Pro as well. You might have to plunk down the $29 for QT Pro, but I’m 99% positive all of the ProRes decoders are built into Quicktime today.

FYI – Raylight for Mac is for .mxf files. Raylight Decoder is for playing dvcpro50 and dvcprohd .mov files on the pc.
Hope this is helpful.
