Importing quicktime movies into Adobe error
I have imported and edited sequences in FCP Studio in the field on my MacBook Pro and would like to import the movies into Adobe CS3- on another machine (PC Intel Duo- running Adobe Premiere Pro CS3) to assemble a film with other footage taken with an SD camera.
When I export the movies from the Mac using varous settings using compressor or as a quicktime movie I cannot import them into Premiere. I receive an error message file format not supported.What would be the best file settings to import so Premiere Pro can see them? Avi doesnt work- they are pixelated when imported into adobe CS3.
thank you

There’s probably a better answer than this, but I seem to remember doing something like this in the past.
I eventually used After Effects to do the conversion, and it worked fine. I’m not exactly sure why AE would be better at cross-platform translation, but it worked.
As always, video codec (AVI or MOV) Uncompressed.Vince

Hi Vincent
thank you for the response. I tried to open in AE but it would not open. If I convert to avi then I lose quality to a point of low quality.
There must be a workflow but I havent found it.
thanks again

[David McGuire] “then I lose quality”
Not if you do what Vincent said. Use no codec (uncompressed) or use a lossless codec and you cannot lose quality.

I am using Premiere Pro CS3 (novice user) on a Mac. When I find a file created from an import to iMovie from mini-DV, it is grayed out. I am confused.
Thanks
Charlie
