Output HD clip from Premiere for Final Cut
A PC interloper here
.
Working on a HD project with an editor in another city who is cutting with Final Cut. I need to send him several clips to integrate into the project. The originals are in Premiere Pro – Cineform codec. What output codec would work best for him so that he doesn’t have to render? He was not happy with the Cineform encoded files I sent him before because of the render time.Thanks for any help.

What codec is he editing in on the Mac? He will only be able to avoid rendering by you providing him with files that are in the same codec that he is working in. In HD, that may be problematic on the PC.
If he is using Apple ProRes, it is currently not available on the PC for encoding (though there is a read-only component)
If he is using DVCPRO-HD, it is also tricky, as on the PC it requires the use of the RayLight codec (which much be purchased)
If he is working with Uncompressed HD, you can install the software codecs from either Blackmagic or AJA.

Send him an image sequence- Tiff, Targa or PNG. If these clips have sound, you can send that as a separate .wav or .aiff.

[Rafael Amador] “Or you can use the AVID codecs. Cross-platform and free. “
The Avid codecs will not play in real time w/o rendering in FCP, even if you make a “custom” preset.
He’s looking not to render.
