I won’t defend Premiere Pro on the pro space, but suffice it to say that the Mercury Playback Engine is very interesting. Couple that with native 64 bit on both platforms, a functional green screen keyer and you have something that many people will look at. Obviously, there’s a ton more in there, but watch the video and we’ll see when something is announced.

The easiest way to deal with this is to re-export the files using Adobe Media Encoder and via one of the wing menus de-select ‘include XMP Source Data’

I hope this helps,

Apple’s HDV codec is propietary, so moving from one to another does require some conversion. If you have both types of software on the same system, you could convert one to the other in either Adobe Media Encoder or Apple Compressor.

I have no problems on editing .mp4 XDCAM EX at all on Premiere Pro CS4 (Mac) and haven’t for some time. You might check out either the Creative Cow Premiere Pro forum or the Adobe Premiere Pro forum (where I hang out) if you want.

This is one of the differences between Apple and Adobe – the decision to rewrap vs. native. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. Adobe believes that native is the way to go. Obviously, it’s a debate that will rage on for some time. 😉

Ha! 😉

Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder are both multi-core aware and are able to address 64-bit memory if your system has it. You might find what Adobe is doing in the future of interest here. Check out this link if you’re so inclined:

Premiere Pro (like many Adobe apps) does have a history panel. However, I’m usually removing it from the interface myself.

If they’re using Mac for Premiere Pro, you can probably just move the original ProRes clips over. If you have captured as Apple’s HDV, you will need to change it to something else unless they have FCP on the system as well.

If they’re on Windows, then you can still export ProRes or some flavor of Quicktime or AVI.

Hope this helps,

Rafael,

Just to be clear, I am an Adobe employee and I tend to monitor this forum in relation to questions around Apple/Adobe workflows. 😉

Premiere Pro can import FCP XML but not export it to FCP for CS4. Adobe has shown a FCP exporter but it has not been released for a couple of reasons.

[Dennis Radeke]

No problems at all. Otherwise our FCP XML import wouldn’t be a very useful feature. 😉
