HDV 1080 60I
A client is using CS3 P-Pro, I captured HDV 1080 60i using Final Cut 6.0.3 (HDV 1080 60i Basic). I don’t use P-Pro and he can’t open these files. Codec Missing is what I’m told was the error.
Question, Can HDV 1080 60i .mov files captured from Final Cut be recognized and used with Premiere Pro? My client is very green with editing.

My suggestion would be to convert all the footage to QT animation, how ever painful it will be.

On the other hand, I suggest that you recapture the footage on a PC.

Vincent and Steven,
Thanks for taking the time to help with the suggestions, The question is, does HDV 1080 60i captured from Final Cut work with CS3 P-Pro, I’m on location and unable to convert or recapture at the moment and I was looking for a solution for my client whom isn’t very proficient with this program.Good Luck

The short answer is no I’m guessing. While I haven’t tried HDV in particular, most FCP wrapped formats won’t play back in Premiere. Again, the only format that I was ever able to transfer between the 2 has been QT animation.

FCP does some custom wrapping of these files and of course the HDV portion of the codec is not included in the Windows version of QT…like DVC ProHD and Pro Res…
Recapture on the PC is the best way to go…those files can’t be read on a PC. Animation or PNG QT files are pretty large.

PPro won’t read them. If your client has After Effects, have him import the footage into AE then out to PPro. I had to do this last week and it worked just fine.

Hmmm…I didn’t think of that…but what format should be exported from AE? This does have potential to be a lossy conversion…

You know, I can’t remember. After looking at the export options in AE, I suspect I simply exported everything as a Premier Pro Project.
I didn’t see any loss, but I don’t know that I looked that hard either. This particular project was super small and my client wanted a lower res version anyway.
I’m sorry I can’t be of much help beyond that. I think I dug up that suggestion on a random DV forum somewhere. In the end it worked great for me, but the project required little editing save for some keying so it might not be the best solution for everyone.
