Go down the page a little and enter Mac OS X and under Software you’ll see it.

There is no need for a plugin.

Premiere Pro CS4 can do it natively. If you need to convert the files, there are tutorials for how to batch process your original 5D footage into another codec using Adobe’s Media Encoder.

With the Mercury Playback Engine and native 64 bit in the future, the need for any kind of conversion will be unnecessary.

Hope this helps,
Dennis

Thanks Peter – hope you’re well.

Unfortunately the plug-in doesn’t support my 550D yet. And I did notice some ropey moments in a quick 720p50 test I did. It certainly lowers the quality from 1080p considerably.

Robert,

Let me give you the steps and see if this helps. If not, I’ll either record a tutorial or search until I find the one I’m looking for… 😉

There are a couple of approaches including creating a watch folder, but I’ll give you instructions on how to convert a batch of files here.

1) launch AME (Adobe Media Encoder)
2) click Add
3) navigate to the files you wish to convert (shift select)
4) click okay when done
5) click Edit
6) choose your destination preset (I choose P2 Movie – Panasonic format that’s easy to edit but you may want something else if you’re using FCP)
7) Click okay to close
8) Click start Queue

AME will work in the background, so you can be using other applications or tasks while it’s converting. Once done, import into Premiere Pro or FCP.

I hope this helps,
Dennis
