DSLR H264 not playing in Premiere 5.5 again

[Nick Delfino]

Kevin any update here. Started to edit a feature shot on Canon 5D Mark II with the footage as .mov h264 files and have run into the same problem documented in this thread. Files do not play in PP 5.5, DSL 1080p 24 setup! Setup the same project in PP 5.0 and the media plays fine. I noticed this tread is dates Aug 2011 and it is now Feb 2012 so I am hoping there is a solution but fear there is not. I made the move from FCP 7 after the FCP X release to PP looking for a DS workflow but I am nervous now that I made the wrong choice.

Also purchased the Matrox MXO2 w/Max and cant seem to get it up and running with PP 5.5 when it running smooth plug and play with FCP 7.0

If Adobe is serious about capturing a fleeing FCP user base with PP 5.5 things need to get better.

Have you tried to start a new project and import the problem one?

Looks like we are going to have to pay for 6.0 to find out. I’m only using Premiere 5.0 for DSLR Nikon D7000 exporting as ProRes HQ to Media 100 2.1 for final. I use 5.5 for EX-1 footage to playback without transcode, color correct and add titles, export to ProRes HQ, edit in Media 100 Suite 2.1. Very disappointing this hasn’t been fixed in 5.5 when it worked in 5.0. Not Happy about having to wait for 6.0 AND having to pay for it. If it’s not fixed in 6.0, Premiere 5.0 and 5.5 will become my viewer, color corrector, and maybe titler. Final Cut may just catch up with the new release(s). I am definitely staying on the Mac, so don’t go there with me. (Windows)
