  • I can’t import Q-T to the Premier CS3

    Posted by Aris Gharibain on April 24, 2009 at 2:50 am

    I shot with sony EX3 and convert the footage to Q-T (1920×1080) I don’t have Mpeg 4 footage anymore. But I can’t import it to the Premier CS3. I have a Quad-core PC windows vista 64 bit with 2.66GHz. I’ll appreciate your help in this matter.

    Hi Ari

    What QT codec did you use? Quicktime is a kind of wrapper format – ie, it can use many different types of codec, some of which Premiere might not handle properly (I know for example Premiere on Windows can’t use certain FCP quicktimes without conversion). You may have to convert the quicktimes again. Incidentally if you have the latest version of CS3 (3.2? I think) this should handle the native MP4s straight out of the camera without having to convert.

    Hope that helps

    Hi Nick,
    The codec is: XDCAM EX 1080i60 (35Mb/s VBR) integer (big endian), timecode. Unfortunately, I don’t have the MPEG 4 files anymore.

    Best,

    Ari

    I found that importing into After Effects works fine, even though importing into PremirePro causes an error. After you have imported the files into After Effects, you can export it as a Premiere Pro project under File-> Export. You goto Premiere Pro and for some reason everything opens fine without any errors and no file conversions.
