    The advice given in Still to Motion is that video captured via DSLR should be transcoded into a more workable format, but it did not say what format, specifically for a user of Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro).

    I use Cineform Neoscene to transcode 7D footage, I use a PC so the transcoded file is an .avi using their proprietary codec. If you are on a Mmac Prores would be an option.

    I am on a PC using Premiere Pro CS5; I was hoping not to have to get more software.

    We couldn’t discuss native editing as it wasn’t release when that was written we have subsequently put out updates about that. If PP CS5 just work natively

    If Cs4. The us cineform

    Hi

    just spotted this thread. I am going to shoot some movie with an EOS 5D Mark II. Is it best to transcode the MPEG-4 files into another format before editing?. If so whats the best software to acomplish this?

    Thanks for your help.
