PC/Premiere CS6 to Mac/FCP

I have footage for my editor. My preliminary edits will be in Premiere (CS6) and I work on a PC. He will be working on a Mac using Final Cut Pro.
Are there any file formats or things that I could do to ensure a seamless transfer? I was planning on exporting an AVI. I'd like the quality to be the highest possible. I don't want any codec drama.

...ensure a seamless transfer?
I've never seen a 'seamless' transfer, but here's what I've done.
Export your Pr project as a Final Cut Pro .xml, and cross your fingers.
Depending on what is in your project, not everything will translate.
AVID DNxHD is a good cross-platform quicktime codec...
not officially 'lossless', but good quality and reasonable file size.

  • Final Cut Pro X to Premiere CS6 workflow destroys FCP X events

    Hello,
    I just got a call by a customer who tried to convert and FCP X project via XML to Premiere CS6 for a further AfterEffects workflow. He experienced the following problem, which I can rebuild completely. These are the steps:
    1 - Export an FCP X project which relinks to transcoded optimized media to XML
    2 - Convert the XML (.fcpxml) with Xto7 app to legacy XML (.xml) format
    3 - Open Premiere CS6 and import the XML (.xml)
    4 - Close Premiere CS6 and open FCP X and the exported project
    FCP X warns immediately that something has been modiefied. This is just an information which I can only accept. All the clips that were optimized are reded out and marked "Modified File". Now do the follwing:
    5 - Try to relink the modified media and chose the optimized media file in the transcoded media folder
    As soon as you accept the relink FCP X deletes the file in the event library and ALSO in the Original Media folder AND in the Transcoded Media folder and moves both files to the trash. This could be destructiv, if you are working on a SAN storage, like an EditShare system.
    But even if you are able to restore the files and move them back in place, there seems to be no chance to relink the files in FCP X to make your project working again. As soon the relink comand is executed the files will be moved to the trash again. If I do not try to relink, the files keep marked red and as Modified Media. If you have a look in the metadata, you will see, that they have been modified by Premiere, which seems to cause the trouble.
    Does anyone has a workaround or working handover to AfterEffects? Or does anyone else encounter similar problems with XML or third party apps destroying metadata within FCP X files?
    Appreciate all solutions!
    Btw: This only affects transcoded media. Every time I worked with original media only, the handover to Premiere works undestructive, but the media was pending in Premiere until the app crashs.

    Finally I solved the problem by myself, doing a deeper web research.
    Actually it's Premiere CS6 or AfterEffects which adds some metadata to the clips, that causes FCP X to ignore those files and shows them as "Modified media". But - and that's the good thing - you can turn off this behaviour in AfterEffects or Premiere. Here is how:
    In AfterEffects
    go to Preferences > Media & Disk Cache and uncheck the boxes refering to the XMP metadata
    In Premiere
    go to Preferences > Media and uncheck the box "Write XMP ID to Files on Import"
    Those XMP metadata help CS6 to share media cache files and previews and may improve stability and performance but if you are in a more FCP X based workflow, deactivating this option may prevent from loosing media.
    A fast check with the same procedure discribed above went well and everything stays untouched and online in FCP X.

  • Adobe Premiere CS6 for Mac, doesnt display the "subtitle/closed captions" option.

    Hey there,
    im trying to add subtitles to my Project as it is being described in this Video: http://tv.adobe.com/de/watch/training-f%C3%BCr-videographen/untertitel-mit-premiere-pro-cc -erstellen/ 
    The option im looking for is  "Untertiel" (german for Subtitle) as seen in this screenshot I made of the Tutorial Video
    No if I try to do the same thing i get this:
    The option "Untertitel" is simply not there!?!?! Why?
    How can I get it?
    As is said I use Adobe Premiere CS6 6.0.5 on my Mac
    I would be sooo grateful for any help.
    Best regards
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    The tutorial you are using as a reference point is for premiere pro CC.
    However you are using CS 6 Premiere pro.
    Closed captioning feature was introduced in Premiere pro CC.
    I am afraid this feature is not present in CS 6 Premiere pro.
    Thanks

  • Premiere CS6 in Mac installer won't even open

    I've installed Premiere CS6 before with the same system (Mac OS X 10.8.2) and the same installer, then uninstalled it with the adobe's uninstaller (provided by Premiere itself). Now when I try to install it again, the installer won't even start - I double click installer, an animation of Mac shows it has opened, however, nothing happens. No windows appear, nothing, not even an error or any warning. Tried using clean up tool, only shows Photoshop in it, nothing related to Premiere.
    The Premiere is the Pro version, not Element.
    My MacBook is the lastest Pro Retina 15 inch base model.
    Please help I'm so sick and tired of Final Cut Pro's autosaves it fails me half of the time... I really need Premiere...
    Edit: BTW I've already tried rebooting and deleting the previous Premiere user files. No luck.

    The fact that you don't have any install logs would seem to indicate that you were not able to click on the install button.  You will likely find the failure in the PDApp.log referenced in the Analyze the Creative Suite 5, CS5.5, or CS6 PDapp log - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html#main_Analy ze_the_Creative_Suite_5_PDapp_log section.

  • 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,

    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).

  • Playback Lag in Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac

    I'm editing a project in Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac, and the playback is really laggy. Its fine if you're viewing one long clip, but it gets really laggy when it switches between clips. The sound will play, but the playback screen will be frozen on the last frame from the previous clip. I use the latest thin model of the iMac. Can anybody help me?

    Is there a specific reason you have not applied the bug fix updates?
    All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install
    updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    Also, only having one hard drive means your computer is having to "struggle" with file operations
    An EXAMPLE concerning trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
    You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the
    orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do
    Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct
    the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with
    your video file at the same time as all the other work
    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another
    very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
    You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more on partitions) with Windows (or Mac OS)
    and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is
    not slowed down by trying to do everything
    External eSata or USB3 are both fast enough for video editing... eSata is better -

    Not sure what you are asking. A download is a download. what you do with the file afterwards is entirely up to you. If you mean to install Mac software on Win, then no, this can't be done. Furthermore you also would have to have a proper Win serial.

    I will aprreciate any guidance on this

    You may need to get your hands on CS3 for Windows to open the 5.1 project and then get a copy of CS3 for Macs to open the CS3 version, and then you might be able to open it in CS6 for Macs.
    Might be cheaper/easier to start from scratch.

  • Can't import XML from Premiere CS6 to Final Cut Pro X?

    Hi,
    I've been using Premier CS6 but I have downloaded the trail of FCPX and wan't to give that a try on my mac. I have edited the video in Premiere CS6 and exported it with the "Final cut pro xml" feature in AP CS6. I've exported the map containing the videofiles, the XML actually everything!
    But the FCPX won't let me select the XML when I try to use the import "XML". What am I doing wrong? Don't get any error messages since I can't even select the XML file.
    Thank you very much in advance, looking forward to try the FCPX!

    Nothing the XML export from Premiere is for legacy versions of FCP not for FCPX.

  • XDCAM-EX problem with .MOV files on Premiere CS6

    Hello!
    I've been working in a video project on Premiere CS5 with video files .MOV from a JVC camera and from a Sony XDCAM EX. I've installed the Premiere CS6 TRIAL. The project has been converted: I get to watch and edit the .MOV files from the JVC Cam, BUT I can't load the media .MOV from XDCAM EX, It says the codec is missing or unavailable... I got the same problem with some .DV files working before on CS5...
    I looked for the codec info and I found this one: MediaCoreQTCodecRulesCS6.xml
    It shouldn't be working?
    Why if all the files were working with Premiere CS5, They are not with Premiere CS6, being this one the latest version of the software? Is it due to be a trial version of the software?
    I would really appreciate your help on this issue!
    Have a good day!
    Zoila

    Officially you need FCP installed to work with XDCAM EX Movs. Are you on a mac or PC?
    However, this is an update for quicktime on macs that gives you the XDCAM EX codec:

  • Premiere CS6 / Canon 5D / Plural Eyes / Workflow .

    Hello there,
    looking for workflow solutions.  switching from FCP 7 - Premiere CS6. 
    Editing 2 canon 5D cameras.  (1920 x 1080 23.976)
    Audio recorded on Zoom. 
    Sync with Plural Eyes
    Final output Web HD / ipad
    Found that I need to export new master clips with audio and video synced for multi-cam to work seamlessly in Premiere CS6 (and also for preservation purposes).  What should my export settings in the Media Encoder be for my new masterclips?  When I select .H264 it defaults to the Android tablet setting and produces poor quality renders (pixelated and banding) and if I select use sequence settings, I get an mpeg codec that my computer does not recognize.
    Any and all suggestions welcomed.  Many thanks! 

    Now I'm intrigued. Did you ever do this with Premiere pro CS 5.5 and experience the slipping? I have on occasion experienced some slipping with very long spanned clips in 5.5 but this is understandable.
    Anyway, if I wanted to export a new clip at the best quality I could, I would use Prores 422 HQ. I often do that in some projects if I'm using a lot of effects on a particular clip because Premiere Pro will just bog down. So in the sequence I set the in and out points for the work area, then just export that section as Prores 422 HQ highest render quality. Then I import that .mov and place it above the clip in the sequence and then deactivate the original clip so it doesn't get bogged down. Later if I wanted to, I could deactivate the .mov and reactivate the original to get the best quality but this type of transcode to prores is not really noticable. This is on a Mac with the prores codecs installed. If I was on a PC, I have heard good things about Cineform and DNXHD files. I would not use a long GOP codec such as any of the mpeg or H.264 flavors but if you have to use H.264 I'd use one for blu ray with a very high bitrate. I have a custom H.264 one that I use for uploads to Vimeo and Youtube that is  VBR from 14-40 mbs and this results in really good results when Youtube and Vimeo do their web-ready conversions.
    The slipping, however seems strange and might be a bug in CS6.
