I forgot to mention these are EX-3 files in the .mov format. I play them back with VCL for Windows from the drive.

I have to agree that the work flow is a problem. If we could just have XDCAM Transfer for Windows it would solve a big problem for me. Browser does not let you set in and out points. All you can do is copy the entire contents of the card over. Thats crazy. I have read the entire manual and it never says how to review certain clips, set in and out points and “add to que”.
Also, media that works is not cheap. I have had several errors on SD cards and so has my partner with his EX-1. SXS seems to be the only reliable card and they ARE expensive.
It would seem that Sony could come out with a one step process to get .mov files into both Apple and Windows computers.
Ian are you listening?

You may have to make sure Premiere is updated. Check for updates.

Also, did you use the peaking feature to verify focus? That should always tell you if you are spot on. In addition use the “expand focus” button on the handgrip to check focus as well.

I have shot with the EX-1, EX-3 and nex 5 on the same shoot with the same lighting and the EX’s are much sharper than the 5. Stick with the EX’s.

I am a recent convert to PP from FCP and it is exciting to see the amount of help Adobe posts online with Jason and Karl in the “Short and Suite” section of their web site. I get the feeling that with all the people coming into PP that there have been many great ideas of what the next version of PP should include. My impression is that PP version 6 will be a killer program and will be very well finished to include a lot of the input from FCP former users. I can’t wait until NAB 2012!
One other thing I would like to see added is for the video and audio tracks to be different colors so they stand out from each other better. I also agree that the multi-cam needs a lot of work. One nice feature that FCP has is that you can set up the in points in the Viewer without having to put everything on the timeline first. Also, I have not figured out how to use only one camera’s audio while switching camera angles.
Keep the great ideas coming. With so much time still left before the next release we can make a difference in what it looks like.

Yes, all appears well after it is rendered out. It just happened when it was on the timeline. Thanks.

I shoot slo mo often and the EX-3 does a fantastic job. It is a very smooth slo mo that looks wonderful. I shoot at 60 fps and love it.
