  • Error exporting Quicktime from FCP into Adobe CS3

    Posted by David Mcguire on May 5, 2009 at 8:45 pm

    I have imported and edited sequences in FCP Studio in the field on my MacBook Pro and would like to import the movies into Adobe CS3- on another machine (PC- running Adobe Prmiere Pro CS3)to assemble a film with other footage taken by an SD camera.
    When I export the movies from the Mac using varous settings using compressor or as a quicktime movei I cannot import them into Premiere. I receive an error message file format not supported.

    What would be the best settings to export the files so Premiere Pro can see them? Avi doesnt work- they are pixelated when imported into adobe CS3.

    thank you

    Does the PC have Quicktime Pro? I would imagine that if you have that on the machine, most any QT .mov will work.

    What codec are you working in on the FCP?

    HI

    I do have quicktime pro on the PC. The files exported under any number of settings pro res, quicktime, quicktime conversion all play on the PC. They just arent seen in Premiere pro. The files were imported as XDCAM but exported as SD, HD, avi- none work.

    thanks

    Create a project preset that is using Quicktime as its playback settings. You might explore using Premiere Pro’s desktop editing mode which you can set up a project/sequence of almost any type.

    I am using CS4 and throw in QT’s of all types with no problem.
