Import of Canon 5D Mark II RAW files to Premiere Pro not successful ?

[Ryan Holmes]

What format are you trying to import? What does RAW mean? CR2 files? DNG files? Canon XF? H.264? I’m assuming you don’t mean Canon RAW from a C500 because you wouldn’t be using CS 5 to edit.

If you shot CR2 still files you’ll need to bring them into Photoshop or Lightroom and convert them to a format PPro can read – PSD, JPEG, tif, png, etc. PPro CS5 can’t take CR2 files.

Sorry, not clear enough. CR2 (converted to jpeg in Canon Professional or Photoshop)but, this is prior to that, the original files cannot be opened ) problem is the Canon Utility does not recognise the camera.

Hi Bob

I work with 5d footage on occasion and I just ingest from the card direct to a local drive.

Works fine and always has.no matter what PPro version

I never have used or even seen any import utility app.

I shot with this camera a year ago and used no utility or import process. Copy the folder/files over to a drive and was able to read/edit them directly in Pr CC with no importation or transcoding. I think they appeared in .mov files wrappers in Finder but I understand they are actually not QT files.
