Premiere Pro CS5 supports FCP XML export which might be useful to you.

The 100 camera will capture either as native XDCAM-EX or as FCP compatible re-wrapped .MOV files. Technically, Premiere Pro CS3.2 will be able to use either of those types. Given a choice, I would take the original source media and hope it’s native XDCAM.
Hope this helps,

“Faster, maybe. Quality, not so much. Adobe Media Encoder’s deinterlacing and scaling quality is downright abysmal. “
We had some of these issues in past versions for certain presets, but have worked hard on improving the overall quality, so I think it fair to say give CS5 a try before you give up on the quality aspect of it. Also, as with any encoding product, a lot depends on the actual settings. For example, I know that some people make the same comments about Compressor, but a buddy of mine sells a set of hundreds of Compressor presets to help address a lot of those problems.
Good luck either way.

“#1 – it shoots to .MOV in the HDV and XDCAM codec, so it ONLY works with Final Cut Pro. Not Avid Media Composer (that I also use a lot), not Adobe Premiere. If you only use FCP…then you are set.”
Not entirely true as the JVC camera will also shoot true XDCAM EX and capture to an SxS card. About a year ago this $600 option became standard for the 700 camera. So Premiere Pro and others can potentially use the JVC 700 camera.

What kind of error message? What version of CS4? Did you try Legacy mode? would you try a trial of CS5 to see if that works?
Hope this helps,

The simplest thing to try is to export your AAF from MC3 and import into Premiere Pro CS5. Offline the DNX clips and re-associate with the original r3d media.

The Apple HDV codec is unique and not included in Quicktime. You couldn’t edit Apple HDV on PC without converting it to something else.

Most do not, but the cross dissolve does along with basic transforms (scale, position, etc.).

With Premiere Pro CS5, you can export your project as FCP XML and then import it directly into FCP.

The Apple HDV codec is unique and doesn’t show up in PC version of QT to my knowledge. ProRes is a better way to go. You can also capture ProRes with something like the AJA KiPro if you want. I did it over the weekend playing with an HDV camera and it worked just fine with Premiere Pro CS5.
