The answers listed above/below are all good. I will only add that Premiere Pro CS5 supports Apple/JVC re-wrapped XDCAM EX essence as .MOV files natively. If you’re thinking about upgrading, then this might be a better choice than Calibrated.
Another thought is you could try to use AME CS4 to convert the footage to any other codec you want.

For syncing video, the built in multi-camera feature is what I think you’re looking for.
For syncing BWF to video at this time, you would need a third party plugin such as pluraleyes. Adobe DOES support BWF but not BWF timecode at the moment.
Hope this helps,

[Anthony Rice] “I have the exact same problem for a student project with premiere on Window’s… please tell me someone has this solution.”
If you’re using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, you can drag the clip to the new sequence button and Premiere Pro will automatically create a sequence based on the clips properties. Basically, if you have the codec on the Windows box, Premiere Pro will play it.

Probably Boris Continuum with a host application (After Effects, FCP, Motion, etc.) is the easiest fit.

[Shane Ross] “Sorry man, that’s what you get when you want a codec that edit systems can work with. The HIGHLY compressed H.264 codec is too much for edit systems to handle…they slow down, crash. Thus the need to convert.”
Technically you can edit H.264 in FCP but it is difficult for anything other than cuts. Some NLE’s can edit it natively without quite the pain and chunkiness that GOP formats usually bring, so I would say ‘the need to convert for FCP.’

There should be no problem. I have had all three on my Mac laptop without issue. The BMD card will work with CS5 or Apple where the MXO2 should in theory work with all three.

Shawn is spot on. There are a variety of tools that can accomplish this for you. If you use After Effects, then be sure to utilize Mocha AE which gives you very good 2D planar tracking which is the bulk of the effect we’re talking about here. Imagineer Systems has a lot of good tutorials on their website and Andrew Kramer (https://www.videocopilot.net) also recently did a tutorial called Magic Tracking.
Hope this helps,

[shane godfrey] ” I do have CS5 premiere, have you or anyone else heard if it works with it?”
The camera is an AVCHD camera: https://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/micro-nxcamsite/cat-broadcastcameras/product-HXRNX5U/?PID=I:nxcamflashbanner_hxrnx5u:hxrnx5udetails
Therefore, you can edit natively in Premiere Pro CS5.

I agree that Edius’ multi-cam process is pretty nice.

In Premiere Pro, you need to set up a sequence with your cameras and sync them. THEN you nest that sequence, tell Premiere Pro that it’s a multi-cam sequence and edit. It’s a two step process so set up is a little more involved.
