    Anyone anyone, just out of curiosity, have you had success working with windows ae 7 and DVCPRO HD footage (off an HVX…)?
    No import issues at all on my OSX system, between both FCP and AE, but windows will not read the footage.

    Had to batch convert it, and it doesn’t look so hot, or stream as well in AE.

    the windows version of QT does not have the DVCPROHD codec. (and if memory serves me, the DVCPRO 50 either)

    found this out the hard way as well…

    any codec advice for batch converting and re-linking?

    Wait, are you saying that DVCPRO50 footage captured as an uncompressed quicktime won’t work on my pc? That is reaaly not something I want to hear right now…Can anyone confirm this?

    Hey Jeremy

    I am getting a post place to capture footage of a dvcpro50 deck via their editing suite to my external drive. Do you think that I will have difficulty opening the uncompressed quicktimes in AE or Premier?

    Sorry to slightly sidetrack this thread…

    Cheers

    No, but you will likely be unable to play them smoothly off your hard drive since their data rate will be too much for your hard drive (since they’re uncompressed). You will be able to make RAM previews, though.

    Ah, I’m glad to here it Steve.

    That footage will be going back on my main PC hardrive where I will have to first cut it up into all the shots, then key it, then composite, so looks like I should be fine.

    Cheers mate
