Final cut .mov files to Adobe Premiere CS4 on a PC.

[Bob Cole]

Tim – sorry – I did ask about Premiere, and lapsed into an older issue, which was with Avid. My bad. I believe you of course. But you can’t rely on your end-user having the updated QT codec, whether that end-user is a huge tv network using Avid, or a freelancer running Premiere. Perhaps I need to include the links for QT updates with my files from now on.

The reason I lumped the Avid and Premiere issue is that I have another editor, today, who can’t seem to use my ProRes 422 files on a PC-based Premiere system. I wound up exporting Photo-JPEG.

Wow…that is so bizarre.

Install the latest verson of QT7 and you should be good to go…

As far as I’m concerned, any freelance editor who hasn’t spent the 29.95 USD on QT Pro just to have the tool should be questioned as to what they’re thinking…no matter what edit system they use.

Unfortunately I’ve had a similar week…with shooters/formats/frame rates, sizes.

These people should be required to take a test before they can accept a professional freelance job…I can’t figure out how some of these people can make a living at this…
