CS4 doesn’t like XDCAM EX mp4 format?

[Louis Freris]

Same here, I always convert my BPAV folder to .mxf For some reason ,.mxf files work alot better and also premiere cs4 is more stable.

I find it a bit annoying that it converts the stereo audio into two mono tracks, but otherwise the stable footage is much better.

hi guys,

I’m having some problems with premiere ad xd cam ex3, premiere supports the format mp4, the format of xd cam, premiere shows the format in the dialog box of import, but when i try to import a file .mp4 premiere says that the file could be damaged or unsupported format, but in the same computer after effects imports the file, that says that the file isn’t corrupted or damaged.There are a missing codec or something in premiere? Do you know why this happens?

thanks a lot

Mac or PC? There seems to be an issue with the Mac CS4.

thanks for help, actualy I’m an CS3 user, but is the same anyway,
and I dissolve the problem installing the update on premiere CS3 3.0
to 3.2 and it fixes the problems, but if you don’t have, in case of premiere, all of the files that XDCAM does, even if premiere supports the format you cannot oppen the files mp4, in other words
premieres uses the path of the files .XML, that are insede the folder BPAV that XDCAM does while recording the scenes, if you don’t copy the entire folder BPAV who have the folders CLPR (wich is the clips inside) and the folder TAKR and the .XML premiere could not recognizes the file .mp4, if you lose these files you can rename the files mp4 to m4v, then premiere will recognizes then, uhuhh, not quit simple ahn?!!? now about after effects, can take the files anyway. well, i wish can help some people. thanks for help.
