Hi Richard,

Once again a few queries left unanswered after reading the post and threads,

So we are shooting on 5D mkII and I am planning to edit it on FCP, so as u have suggested in many posts, that you prefer editing it in Premiere Pro CS5 and then Color correct in FCP, can u help me with what workflow I should have importing the CS5 XML to fcp.
Please help.

Also we are going to export the final product on digibeta for UFO release and then the concerned people will make prints of it.
So what should I trans code the 5D footage to if I plan to edit purely in FCP.

Thanking you. Please help

Thanks for all the help, i was going through this thread as I am going to edit a feature film to be shot on 5DMKII.
I Read the complete post but was still unable to get a few questions answered.

Can you tell me firstly, we should shoot at 24fps on the 5D right and not 25?
2. I am planning to edit with FCP as offlate I have been using FCP so getting back to premiere would be not difficult but little discomfort, Also I prefer the 3 way CC on the FC rather than PPro CS5. So my question what sequence settings should I keep if I import the 5D files directly??
and as I have learnt from reading posts and experience on field FC does not support 5D original files.
Now we plan for a UFO release and would dump the final edit on a digi beta, So what format should I convert the 5D footage in order to edit in FCP keeping in mind that im going to color corrent in FCP only …
ProRes 422 HQ is good enough to be blown up for a theatre release ?
or should I do something else ?

3.Also is it possible to directly import 5D shot footage in FCP and start editing ?

4. Should I avoid all this and just import 5D files in Premiere Pro CS5 ?

5. What should be my output keeping in mind theatre release, if i plan a dumb on the digi beta ?

6.Some suggested editing in Premiere Pro and then exporting to FCP for CC so is it advisable ? If yes then what should the workflow be like ( formats and other sequence settings while importing to fcp I’ll export the xml from PPCS5 to fcp but in fcp will it show me red color render timeline?

7.What should my overall workflow be like ?

Thanks a lot in advance…please answer my querries really thankful to you.

will ask a few more members if you dont mind.

Thanks
