Dave, I can never tell whether you are being sarcastic…which I’m guessing is more often than not! 🙂

So I ran into a very simular problem to yours. I worked a project where I rented an EX3 and the other shooter had an EX3 also and we have 125gb of data files between the two of us.

I edit using an NLE that does not support the EX3 format; so I found two solutions.

1. Install Vegas Pro Trial and try to get them all converted, one at a time, withint the next 30 days!

or

Install HandBreak ( https://handbrake.fr ) and convert them in batch!
HB is a free download, and worked perfectly!

So I just finished ripping through 526 EX3 files using HandBreak.
I converted them all at full res to .m4v that my NLE’s can read, and then all of them to 1280×720 form my iPad.
It was pretty simple, and hands-free. The only issues I encountered was when HB could not write the log file for some reason, and all I had to do was hit OK a couple of time.

All in all – it was really easy.

Hi Guys and girls.

I have footage shot on a Sony EX3, using a Nanoflash, captured at 50mbps; They are .MOVs with the xd5e codec.

I thought I could import this using the XDCAM HD 422 import setting in Adobe Premiere. This however doesn’t seem to to be working.

Any ideas of how I can import this footage.

Many thanks.
