importing MOV files from JVC GY-HM100U camera
I haven’t tried this yet, so forgive the pre-emptive question: Today I shot a lot of footage with the JVC GY-HM100U camcorder and realized after the fact that the footage was shot in MOV mode instead of MP4 mode, which I always use. I’ve always understood that the MOV files from this camera were designed to be FCP-friendly and not good for much else.
Will it be possible to bring these MOV files into PPro CS5.5 as is or will I need to begin exploring transcoding solutions? And no, I don’t have a copy of FCP on hand…thanks in advance.

Should be perfectly fine. I’m not familiar with your particular camcorder, but a quick check shows that the actual video codec within both containers (MP4 and MOV) is MPEG-2 which is an industry standard that I know Adobe supports fully.
For your reference, the MP4 container is a “more standardized” container based off of MOV. Apple products like the Quicktime Player and FCP just play nicer with MOV. There is a bug with the Quicktime player that will lag the video and cause it to drift out of sync when you play an MP4; not horribly but you notice.

Thanks, you were right…No problem on ingest or playback. It’s truly tough to throw something at this box that it can’t handle.
