Premiere and Apple Color?
Anyone go out to Apple Color for their grading needs? Any major issues? As long as the XML gets correctly translated I assume it’s not much different than using FCP, just loose the direct export/import feature. For me a useful stop-gap until I get to learn DaVinci.
Thanks, Ken.

Well, I’m a lazy B**stard. And I’m not so adept at Premiere Pro – but in the spirit of scientific enquiry…
Exported out of Premiere (5.5) as xml. Imported into Color – nothing – just an empty timeline. Doesn’t bode well, but is this a common experience, maybe I have some setting incorrectly set? xml flavour maybe? Or maybe it’s time to move on to DaVinci where others I read have been more successful.
Best, Ken.

If we use Color on a PP project it looks like this:
Premiere Pro export XML. Open XML in FCP7. Send timeline to Color from FCP7.
When it works it’s great.
DaVinci Resolve workflow:
Premiere Pro (or FCP or Avid) export out XML (or AAF). Open in Resolve.Ryan Holmes

Thanks Ryan. After posting I did wonder whether using FCP as an intermediate step would work.
Good to know I won’t have to leave Color behind until I’m ready.
Cheers, Ken.

Did the Premiere Pro (CS5) to Color workflow with a project recently. XML out from Pr CS5 to FCP 7. No problems video-wise but the audio mix did not come over right (wrong levels, lost audio keyframes). Not too big a deal, I just exported the audio mix out of Premiere as a WAV and imported into FCP. All went well otherwise; I should mention that it was DSLR footage so I had to transcode it to ProRes first because Color does not like anything except ProRes, DV, and HDV. Now that I think of it, if you are having problems with the video not coming over right, try cutting down your sequence with the Project Manager, then transcoding all media in the new sequence to ProRes and see if it comes over right. FCP does not like a lot of tapeless HD formats and it basically wants everything to be ProRes (or DV/HDV).
