    A client has footage that was captured from HDV in Final Cut Pro, but he wants it converted to something he can edit in APE. What format does Premiere Elements capture HDV into?

    I believe all premiere products capture footage as a HDV stream, but he can just take the quick times he captured in FCP and import them into Premiere to edit them.

    Believe me, he tried, and it didn’t work — which is why I came here. The QuickTime HDV codec is not included with any normal installs of QuickTime on Mac or PC — only with Final Cut Pro.

    For future reference for anyone else reading this thread…

    We converted it to MPEG-2 with Compressor, keeping the original framerate and size, and that seemed to work okay. We only needed the video from the files, not audio, though. YMMV.

    hmmm, that’s good to know. I have both FCS2 and Premiere CS3 on my editing suite so I get all kinds of goodies for premiere.
