Encoding for Premiere in Windows from Mac FCP

Hi,
I'm a Final Cut Pro user. I have a client who sent us a drive with the complaint that "they can't read or copy the files" onto their Windows computer with Premiere CS6 installed. The problem as I see it is twofold: one, it's a Mac-formatted drive; and two, the files are Quicktime ProRes and XDCam-EX videos. These came from a third-party shooter, BTW.
I'm trying to find an easy solution that will let me return the drive to the client as something they can plug in and work with. I figure I'll pull the files off, reformat the drive as NTFS, and dump back. Here's the thing: I understand that it's possible to edit in ProRes and in XDCam-EX in Premiere, in Windows...but I have little confidence that the client will be able to figure out how to do it. I can convert these files - just need to know what to convert to, to make it easy. They are 1080i at 29.97 fps. What's a good format that lets a Premiere user basically plug-and-edit...? Or am I off-base, and it will be easy for my client to grab and use these files?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Jesse

To easily move HDDs between Windows and Mac, use ExFat instead of NTFS. It's supported by both OSs and can use large files (unlike FAT32).
Installing the ProRes codec (read only) on Windows is trivial. Install Quicktime and you are done. However, lots ofpeople here will pour scorn on using *anything* encoded in a Quicktime wrapper because it's (currently) a 32 bit platform so is perhaps not running as fast as the native 64 bit codecs.
Personally, I use ProRes quite happily on both Windows and Mac. Another alternative is Avid's DNxHD (free download for both Mac & Windows).
< waiting for Jim and others to jump in here for the usuall go around with what codec is the best >

Location of File Containing Data for "reopen all windows from last session"

I'm a heavy-duty Safari user and usually keep 100+ tabs and windows open, carefully invoking the command "reopen all windows from last session" each time I restart. Unfortunately, I screwed up today and started and quit Safari without invoking "reopen all windows from last session," and all of my open tabs and windows are gone.
I can recover the tabs manually using my history listings, but there must be an easier way: the information about the last session has to be stored somewhere. I did a Deja Vu backup on Friday and today I copied the files /~user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist and all the files from /~user/Library/Safari, including HistoryIndex.sk, History.plist, and LastSession.plist, from my backup to my hard drive, but the result was unchanged (that is, my 100+ tabs and windows were nowhere to be found).
Given the time it takes for Safari to shut down, I assume it's storing a large history file somewhere, if only I knew where. Does anybody out there know or could otherwise help my recover from my stupidity?
Thanks in advance.

I found a work-around. Since I frequently quit Safari and "reopen all windows from last session" upon restart, my history reflects all of the open tabs and windows contiguously. I thus reloaded the history file, invoked the command "History --> Show All History," found the most recent such contiguous history listing, shift-clicked and selected all relevant listings, and then double-clicked. All of my formerly open tabs and windows were reopened in tabs within a single window. I had to go back and rearrange things but it was far simpler than manually reopening all of those tabs and windows.

Portable Hard drive formating for use with windows and mac operating system

Just bought a verbatim sure fire 500g 800 firewire portable hard drive for my new macbook pro. I have not did bootcamp yet because I am deciding on wether to use Vista or the new windows 7 that will be coming out soon. The drive is already formated HFS+, how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it. Help!!!

how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it.
Either format it to MS-DOS from the DIsk Utility, or install a tool such as MacDrive into Windows and keep the drive in its current format, or install the NTFS-3G driver into Mac OS X and format the drive to NTFS in Windows.

How to format external drive for use against windows and mac

Hi.
Please bear with me, a possible MAC newbie here
I'm about to buy the 13" Mac Book Pro (after ditching the Lenovo X301 because of a super slow processor, slow FSB, slow intel graphics).
But I have a couple of questions before I buy this Mac Book Pro.
NOTE:
My main OS (stationary pc) is Windows, and will probably be so for a long time.
But I need a lightweight laptop while on the run, and could not actually find any other one than the Mac Book Pro that met my requirements.
I'm using Adobe Lightroom for indexing and managing images on my windows stationary computer and will also use Lightroom on my Mac Book Pro.
I'm to use an external HDD for this purpose and will need to be able to both write and read to/from that HDD from both MAC and Windows.
Export lightroom library to External HDD from Windows (thumbnails + keywords).
Import new images and edit keywords etc from mac book pro in lightroom.
Import changes into my windows library version after been edited from library in mac book pro.
What options do I have when it comes to formatting that HDD?
What will the PROS and CONS be for the different options?
Note (I'm not to switch to Aperture (my main computer is still Windows))
Regards

Or do I have to use something else to format it with?

Accede to windows from mac, out of home....

Well!, I need to use some programs from windows in mac, but i don't want to make a partition with boot camp or use parallels desktop, so I decided to install remote desktop. I have a router in my home so i connect the pc and the mac to the same network. When i accede from my house i can connect with the remote desktop and i watch my pc on the mac, but... When i try to accede from the university i just can't do it... Please i need help...

Are you referring to Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's product (which you have to purchase) for managing network Mac systems? Or are you referring to Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac? If you're referring to Microsoft's product, you probably should take this up in Microsoft's own forum. Most likely you either need to open and forward the port(s) Microsoft's software uses in your router, or your university is blocking the port(s).
If you're indeed using Apple Remote Desktop, you need to install, or have installed, a VNC client on your Windows system. Then, again, you need to have the appropriate port (usually 5900) open and forwarded in your router and it will need to be open in your university's firewall as well.

Restart in Windows from Mac OS X

In Windows, in the bottom right of the screen when you first start up, there is a little boot camp icon. When you click it, it gives you the option to restart in Mac OS X. Something like this is needed in Mac OS X, except to offer starting up in Windows. Normally, I would have to click on the Apple in the top left corner of the screen, click "Restart...", then a box shows up offering "Restart" or "Cancel". Here would be the perfect place to offer the option of restarting in Windows. Either that, or something optional in the menu bar (like Time Machine).
My question is: Is there any simple way to restart from Mac OS X into Windows without the minor inconvenience of waiting at the computer while everything closes and shuts down then holding the Option key?

There is a simple way of doing what you want. Go to: http://www.kainjow.com/ and download Bootchamp.
Blurb from website: BootChamp is a small utility that when launched, will boot your computer into your Windows partition. It requires authentication in order to properly set your Windows partition as the startup disk.
How is this different than selecting your Windows volume from within Startup Disk in System Preferences? Well, using Startup Disk actually changes your startup disk permanently so that each time you restart, it boots into whatever you have selected. Essentially what my program is doing is what happens when you hold down Option at startup and select Windows. However, the app only requires a click to launch and your admin password, and then it restarts your computer into Windows without further input from you. It will not actually change your startup disk.

Will a Microsoft Office Add-In developed in Visual Studio work for both a Windows and Mac ( osx ) versions of Ms Office?

I want to develop a Microsoft Office Word Add-In for Mac Users. I would like to know if we create it using Visual Studios in windows will it be compatible with the Mac version of office or is there a whole another way to develop for Mac?
Please provide links so that I could follow some guidelines. The http://msdn.microsoft.com/site
doesn't exactly speak of the platform compatibility of the Add-In.
Thank You very Much in Advance.

Office:Mac 2011 only supports add-ins that were developed in VBA. Office:Mac 2008 does not support add-ins at all. A
new version of Office:Mac is slated for release in 2015, there have been no announcements as of this writing (December 2014) whether Microsoft will support additional methods of developing add-ins in the new version of Office:Mac.

Adobe Media Encoder for Premiere Pro CS4 stops working on the same frame every time...

I currently have Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and have never had these issues exporting before. My timeline is less than 3 minutes long, but it does deal with multiple big files. It rendered perfectly and it plays perfectly in the timeline. When I try to export it using Media Encoder, however, it freezes at the same frame every time (which is actually only a few seconds in!) and then crashes, so that I have to force quit. I have tried exporting it as many different codecs and the problem persists... same frame. I tried creating a new project entirely and whipping together a few titles and exporting that to see if it just won't export anything at all. The new project exported just fine, however, which I suppose is good news. But yeah, my work on that other project is very important to me and I reallllly want to export it. Please help!

Hi Jim! Thank you for your reply. I think you are right -- and that it lies in the audio somehow!
It turns out that if I choose to only export the video, and uncheck audio, it will export very well and smoothly. That's great news for me!
However, now I am trying to work out how to get the audio exported without issues. I actually had the idea of just playing the audio in the timeline and recording it via Stereo Mix, but my Windows 7 driver has Stereo Mix disabled, so it's back to square one. Any ideas of what I can do about the corrupted audio not exporting, which works fine when played in the timeline?

Transfer Windows from Mac to Mac

Just upgraded my macbook pro to a new model and trying to copy Parallels and windows to new mac? Parallels transporter agent not working for me. Can I install from Time Machine backup?

Unless you've set the Parallels drive to be backed-up, it usually excludes itself from normal a Time Machine backup. Check in ~/Documents>Parallels to see if the Parallels is backed up to your TM drive.

How to switch to windows from Mac?

I purchased my first Mac today, the MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion. It is primarily for school, and need to be able to switch to Windows for certain classes. How do I go about purchasing/Downloading the right program?
Thank you!
firsttimemac

Ha. I thought you wanted to switch computers from using a Mac to using Windows.
Well you have two choices and you can use both:
Easy and more secure, but not as powerful : Virtual Machine Software - runs Windows in OS X itself.
Less easy and secure, but full hardware capability: Apple's BootCamp - direct boot into Windows itself.
BootCamp for 3D games / 3D or high CPU needs - Virtual Machine software for everything else - web to email, word processing, malware control etc.
Virtual machine software uses "Snapshots" so it's a cinch to eliminate malware off your virtual machine, just transfer any latest files to a USB thumb drive and click a button, a few seconds you just skipped back to a clean verison.
Windows 7 can be downloaded from Microsoft's web site.
Here is the pro's and con's of each and your choices + links.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
