  FCP to PPro Switcher. Assistance required

  Posted by Dan Atkinson on November 18, 2010 at 11:27 am

  Hi guys,

  I’m an FCP guy who has recently landed a job working on PPro. I’ve never really used PPro but work with AE quite a lot and thought i’d be able to muddle my way through..and i can. It’s nice to see the inbuilt FCP keyboard shortcuts which makes life easier. Although no SHFT-Z Fit to Window?! Anyone know the keyboard shortcut for this in PPro? Anyway, I digress. What i am finding difficult is the constant crashing and certain codecs not being recognised. Here’s my set-up.

  imac 3Ghz
  4GB Ram
  2 x internal drives 500gig on both
  OSX 10.6.5
  CS4 Premiere 4.1.2

  I want to know a couple of things. When installing FCP the program also installs every professional codec I could dream of. I am editing XDCAM-EX footage in an MP.4 wrapper. This works fine. However, if I import some EX footage in a .MOV wrapper it won’t recognise it and it crashes. It’s a mac, it has QT, but it doesn’t have the QT XDCAM-EX codec. Am i right? I import an AIFF 48Khz, it crashes, not recognised. Once again, it’s a mac, but PPro can’t read AIFFs? Bizarre.

  All these work within PPro on my MBP with FCP and PPro installed. I’m presuming because FCP is installed. If I’m having reliability issues in FCP then i trash prefs, i repair disk permissions, i copy and paste a sequence into a new project…..is this the same for PPro? Any quick fixes would be greatly appreciated.

  Yours

  Dan
