FCP Studio 2 compatibility with Cineform, Adobe Premiere Pro & Canopus

Currently my post workflow is on FCP Studio 1, and I am considering upgrading to FCP Studio 2 on my Mac G5. But since I am also considering getting a Windows PC which has Cineform, Adobe Premiere Pro and Canopus EDIUS installed in it for offline editing and handling of variable frame rate footage shot on Varicam, I am concerned if I can transfer the editing timelime from the PC (edited on Cineform, Adobe Premiere Pro or Canopus EDIUS) over to the Mac's FCP Studio 2 to do color grading on it using the new Color? Will the file formats and codecs used in Cineform (Cineform RAW), Adobe Premiere Pro (AVI), and Canopus EDIUS (Canopus HQ) be compatible or recognised in FCP Studio 2?
Is FCP Studio 2 able to handle footage shot using SI's 2K camera? Can Color be used to grade the 2K footages shot on the camera?
Also, do I need to make any hardware (e.g. my capture card, etc) upgrade for the above to work?

Export back to tape, and capture that in FCP. Things should work swimmingly.

    Thank you Eddy. I appreciate all the help and feedback I get from the website.
    Also, someone suggested I convert the Mpegs to AVI files first. What do you know about AVS Video Remaker download to use to convert it???

  • Rendering problems with Cineform files Premiere Pro CS6 Mac

    Using CS6 Premiere Pro (latest updates) on MAC OS X 10.8.2 with Cineform stereoskopic files. Generally all looks good. Preview is working smoothly. When rendering (H264 Blu ray, MP2 DVD, Quicktime.. does not seem to matter) slowly the number of threads is increasing while rendering and when there are about 2050 threads or so then rendering just halts, CPU load going down, progress stops, rendering never finishes. Anybody having an idea what could be the issue?! Thanks

    Okay how should I be exporting the files to use in premiere then? I exported a couple that were just a minute long and they ended up being 2 gb...

  • Export multichannel mp4/h.264 with Adobe Premiere Pro CC

    Dear community,
    we currently test the Adobe Premiere Pro CC trial (German) on a Windows 7 Professional PC.
    However, we are not succentful in exporting a multichannel mp4/H.264 clip.
    We haven't found an answer on our issue so far, so I hope that this question was not answered several times before in this forum.
    If we chosse the H.264 exporter, we cannot select a multichannel audio export (only mono, stereo, 5.1).
    In contrary, if we select the Quicktime exporter, we are able to export our sequence with a 4 channel audio master with 4 mono tracks, but we can only export it with a DVCPro Codec in a mov container.
    If we try to select a HD H.264 preset we get an error alert stating that the preset contains a not compatible video codec.
    What are we doing wrong?
    Thanks for every suggestion.
    Thanks in advance
    André

    Thanks for your thoughts, Richard.
    Your are right, we currentky use the Adobe Premiere Creative Cloud version.
    We managed it to solve at least the error message. It was caused because Quicktime was not installed together with the Adobe Premiere Pro / AME setup on our computer.
    After we installed Quicktime 7 manually, we can select a Quicktime/H.264 preset without any problems within the exporter settings.
    However, the Quicktime/H.264 export dialog seems to only allow a mono or stereo audio export. No multichannel-audio export.
    This possibility is only displayed in Richards case, if we select the Quicktime exporter and an Uncompressed Video or DV preset.
    Our question to the Adobe developer guys is the reason behind this limition? Other video authoring prograns can export a mp4 with H.264 Codec with multichannel AAC without any problems.
    How can we do this with Adobe Premiere Pro (not necessarily via Quicktime)?

  • What's the best DIVX file conversion solutions for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Windows XP OS.

    I am on a PC with CS4 Adobe Premiere Pro using XP OS.
    I have VIO POV 1 (helmet cam) footage that I need to edit within my CS4 project.  The Footage is DIVX MPEG4 AVI and Premiere doesn't recognize the video.  I need to figure out the best conversion to maintain the highest quality format that Premiere will recognize.
    What is your best recommendation on how to convert (and what format to convert to to maintain the best quality) and can you recommend a good converter program?  Free perhaps if I don't have to buy one.
    I have spent days looking for a solution and reviewing posts but to no avail.  I have tried MPEG Streamclip, Virtual Dub, Digital Media Converter, Prism and many selected others.
    -MPEG Streamclip doesn't seem to recognize the DIVX files (even after the 3IVX codec installed)
    -Digital Media Converter (free watermarked version) seems to work to produce the DV AVI files (type II) but the quality is pretty low so not really wanting to pay $50 to use the low quality conversion -does the converter program have much to do with the quality of the output?  It also produces a MPEG2 that seems a little better quality than the DV AVI file it produces.
    -Prism does convert to a high quality AVI file that does output a really high quality file that plays in Media Player (latest version) but not in Premiere Pro CS4. Prism also converts to a WMV (windows media vid) that I can use on PP but is not quite the quality of the above noted AVI.  This may be my best option???? Or is it a bad idea to use a compressed codec as wmv to edit and eventually output for the complete PP movie?
    http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/index.html
    Any insight is very much appreciated. I must get on with my editing project!!! Thanks,
    Aaron.

    Jeff, thanks so much, but I'm still not quite there!  Agreed, codec packs can be dangerous but apparently the DIVX one is OK!
    So I downloaded the DIVX pack, and the VirtualDub did work and converted via VirtualDub to AVI,... then tried in PremierePro.  Again no luck viewing... sound OK but the video freezes on the first frame or two.  I can view those outputs in MediaPlayer or DIVX player though. So I tried rerunning the UT codec installer and the logarith but still can't view the outputs from VirtualDub in PP.
    I tried (in VirtualDub) converting the previously converted AVI file I did in Prism converter and again, can see the output in PP (still minor artifacts here and there though).
    ?Maybe I should just be happy with a the DIVX converted to a .wmv file but I think I will be sacrificing quality on already pretty grainy footage that I'm inserting into a largely HD film project so kinda shotty?
    Any more suggestions? The help is greatly appreciated!
    Aaron.

    FCP 10.1 DV capturing from camera breaking the scenes into unwanted clips by flashing a black screen on import window. But its fine and accurate with adobe premiere pro cc ?
    Any solution * Advance Thanks

    FCP X will import into separate clips every time it detects a scene change (as when you stopped and started recording in the camera). There is no option to avoid this, as far as I known.
    You may try importing from camera using Quicktime Player X and then bringing the imported file into FCP X.

    200% or more is not strange. Remember that your mac has 4 cores (you say it's 3 months old, so I assume it is a new model), so 200% amounts to using 2 of these 4 cores to the max.
    Regarding the question of creating a new admin user: while it sits in the same system, it may help if the problem is caused by some user-specific preferences or settings. Not likely in your case, since you seem to have reinstalled from scratch, but still it is worth a try. It takes 5 minutes and may help pinpoint the problem.

  • Final Cut Studio Vs Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.

    What are the best reasons for purchasing Final Cut Studio over Adobe Premiere Pro CS5?
    Thanks!

    Hi friends i'ven reading your coments and my conclusions are CS5 is faster and has the same features and quality than FCP, i like to ask to Studio X if you know more FCP and you are a pro why? with facts because if i have to buy or say to a friend or client go and use one or another with real facts.
    Example FCP has better color calibration, better final quality, more features or so.
    Another curious thing is that jhon 1 in 2 said is better AVCHD compatibility or handle these are to consistent points that i can undertand as a normal person.
    I can understand a  point if you can say me why FCP is better with examples because i know much of hardware but a little of this software, i can give a big point to a software tha can use mi machine at full capacity because if i spend 10K$ in a computer i'd like a blazing fast one, if not is better to spend only 2.5K$ and wait the same amount of time for the same results.
    Sorry for my english i'm not from USA so my vocabulary is short.

  • XDCAM HD workflow with Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Macbook Pro

    Hi folks,
    I have an assignment for a TV production to secure and convert the data (mxf files XDCAM HD 422 1080i 50 / 50 Mbit/sec with 8 audio channels) from Sony XDCAM camcorders (PDW-700) for postproduction.
    The producer wants me to convert the mxf files during production to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) for faster and smooth editing during postproduction.
    I'm not sure about the final output yet, but I guess it will be either 720p50 or 1080i 25, since the production will be broadcast and as far as I know this is the standard for HD on German television. It is also not clear which NLE will be used for editing (usually one of the producers edits their projects with FCP, but this time they've got their hands full and are still looking for someone to outsource postproduction.
    Unfortunately, my Macbook is getting fixed as we speak, so I can't try things out.
    Since this is the first time I'm doing this workflow, could someone please check if I got everything right?
    1. Can someone please confirm that I can actually convert the mxf files using AME CC to Apple ProRes 422?
    Or do I need to install any other tools/converters for this task? Does MPEG streamclip do the job? Any other freeware?
    2. When converting to Apple ProRes422, the producer suggested to deinterlace the footage (1080i 50) to 25p, if 720p or 1080p I have to find out tomorrow since our conversation got interrupted this afternoon.
    In my opinion this doesn't make sense, though. First, if output to 1080i 25 it has to stay interlaced anyway. Second, in case the output will be 720p 50 I would edit the footage either natively or in Apple ProRes 422, but leave deinterlacing until the very end when outputting to the final format. This way I could use an advanced deinterlacer, e.g. the one from Magic Bullet Suite, rather than just checking some deinterlace box in the export settings for Apple ProRes 422.
    The reason the producer suggested to deinterlace right away when using  an intermediate like ProRes was that she and the client got irritated by the jagged lines from the interlaced footage when editing the last project with the same requirements on a progressive display.
    3. What would be the best solution to tackle this issue (jagged lines) during editing?
    As I said my Mac is getting fixed, so I have no way of trying things out,and I usually edit DSLR footage which is progressive anyway.
    But if I remember correctly I can switch my monitor between 1080p and 1080i. This should do the trick, shouldn't it?
    4. Can I keep all of the 8 audio tracks when converting to ProRes using AME CC ?
    5. Is ProRes422 (HQ) really necessary, or is the regular quality sufficient for this kind of job?
    6. Let's assume the whole project would be edited within Adobe Premiere Pro CC and  system specs as stated below:
    Since Adobe Premiere Pro CC has native support for  XDCAM HD is there any advantage of using an intermediate like ProRes at all?
    How smooth is native editing with XDCAM HD in Premiere Pro CC? I don't think there will be more than 3-4 video tracks in use...
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks Jim! I knew there must be a reason xdcam is widely uses for eng aquistion :) I think they used FCP 6 or 7 on their last project... So what about monitoring interlaced footage on a progressive screen? Any advice on that? Is there a converter built in to APP CC that deinterlaces in realtime when monitoring interlaced sources on a progressive screen? And would you agree that deinterlacing source material is best left right before outputting?

  • Audio-Problem with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 by using long Clips in AVC-Intra Codec (4Gb Border)

    Hello
    We own a Panasonic camera (AJ-PX5000G) and we film in 1080p50 with the AVC-Intra100 Codec. When importing longer clips in Premiere Pro, the video is fully loaded, but the waveform of the sound ends at the Time Code 00:02:28:35.
    Sometimes the sound could be played after this Timecode but otherwise there is no audio. Even if we use the same clip several times we see that it works sometimes and sometimes not. It looks random.
    We also tried to import the Clips with Adobe Prelude directly from the P2-Card but there are the same problems.
    The Clips in 1080p50 AVC-Intra100 have a bitrate of 227Mbps. After 2 Minutes and 28 Seconds 4Gb are written on the P2-Card and the Camera starts a new picture file and 4 sound files..
    It looks like Adobe Premiere Pro has problems with the correct relation of the files that all get together to one clip.
    Is there anybody who can confirm this problem? Can anybody help me with this Premiere Problem?

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 compatible with Nvidia 970 GTX?

    Good afternoon.
    I'm an owner of a GIGABYTE Nvidia 660 GTX Ti OC 2GB. The card is detected by Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 (Even though,i think,it said that it's not listed or something but will work under my own risk..Is there a way to check if it's certified/supported via my own program and NOT the typical "This is the list of supported GPUs"?)
    Anyways,i was thinking of buying one of the new 970GTX cards to game on better,but also to make full advantage of it's properties to do much more faster encoding/exporting (you know,create a H.264 MP4 720p@29,97FPS file) than my actual 660GTX card with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.
    The thing is,any owner of such card (GIGABYTE,MSI,doesn't matter) have tried to launch Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and export stuff by using the GPU's full potential to make everything faster?.. Because i have this fear of "Getting the newest n greatest Nvidia card so far and in the end see/notice it'll not work with Premiere Pro CC 2014"
    ....Can somebody please help me with this big fear of mine,please?
    Thanks in advance

  • Help with Adobe Premiere Pro and AME CS6

    Hi all,
    First off, i would like to state that i'm pretty inexperienced in video editing, so please keep that in mind when answering or questioning something.I will try to explain my question to the best of my abilities, but please answer in a 'simple' manner, and don't shoot me when i miss something obvious.
    I came across a 'performance?'-issue (slow exporting) for which i don't really know how to find the solution. I've been struggling with it for a while.
    Your (any) help or insight is greatly appreciated!
    My system:
    Windows 7 Professional - 64 bit (Service Pack 1)
    RAM 20 GB
    Intel Core I73770 (dual quad core)
    Direct x 11.0
    Nvidia NVS 310
    Adobe premiere pro CS6 (upgrading to adobe CC is unfortunately not an option)
    Adobe media encoder CS6
    They asked me to edit some video's on a regular basis, nothing complicated, just a 'training'-video. Length of video is about 2 hours edited.
    File info:
    Source file is 1920x1080 (1,0), 25fps, Upper, 2:11:10:24, 48000Hz, Stereo
    There is one audio channel (left is standard mic, right is a shotgun mic) which is split to two audio channels, edited in aodbe audition (basic noise reduction)
    I've been running into export times of over 12 hours (exported to mp4), which i'm guessing is a bit much.. . The slowness is also occuring with other export settings.
    I came across a possible solution (in short: changing the Video Rendering and Playback in the project settings of APP) but that field is inactive for me...? what's up?
    "Use Preview Files" works in CS5.5 but is "Useless" in CS6
    I don't really know what to do from here, to figure out the solution. Any suggestions on fixing or troubleshooting the extremely long export times??
    Thx in advance.
