Importing HD footage with what codec?
what codec does my footage have to be in After Effects so the footage doesnt have to render all the time.
for example, I downloaded some tuts from videocopilot.com and the footage they have plays more smoother then the footage I import using Final cut pro PRO RESS codec.
the problem is, if I try to capture using premiere on os x, I cant for some reason change the video settings in premiere to change the codec, as I am trying to use the quicktime setting.
I have a canon hf10 cam.
Is this a problem with OS X and premiere?

Thank you for your response dave. I am coming from using the Final Cut Pro bundle, so I already have quicktime pro 7.6.2. I did see the option for SHOW LEGACY CODECS (allows exporting using old codecs) and I have checked it.
what I am confused about is why does final cut pro users say to use the PRO RES codec when using final cut pro, as they say its better for HD footage, at least within FCP. I read Dave’s Stock Answer #1, but you did not say WHICH codec to use when using AE… and what program should I use to import the footage to convert it? When I try using premiere pro, for capture settings I cant change the video setting options within premiere…dont know if this is a bug, my system or what…. so the only way I know how to import footage is using the FCP method of log and transfer….
