mp4, but luckily that's naming convention only, both are exactly the same in the case of the 5dmkii.Īnd forget about good editing of 5dmkii files on a macbook, pro or otherwise. mp4, and make sure your settings are set to work at 1080p NTSC. mov files from the CF Card into Premiere to use.Ĭhange the name to. This is more of a temporary solution until I get a Mac. I've always wanted a Mac, and I will be getting a Mac, so thats not an issue. MOV files from my CF Card into Premiere Pro CS4, I am not impressed, I can't! I tried to use the Adobe Media Encoder as well, and it won't accept the files either. In general, not the best idea.ĭo go to an Apple store though and check out if FCP really is worth your switch (including the extra 850 or so after swapping the CS license to mac version)Īfter initially trying to just import the. Like having canon gear then picking up a nikon because it's cool. No sense in switching systems unless you have a defined need.
But if you have all that already, stick to a windows system, with i7 or 5500 line xeon (though those end up being about the same as mac pro, only a bit cheaper after decking both out with equivalent video cards). I would suggest using CoreAVC codec instead of the built in one though, it should work better with your system (about 2 years old right?). Your rig should do fine,though a bit of extra memory may help. Guess I just need a good book and sit down and play with Premiere. I've considered upgrading to 4GB of RAM to help prolong the life of this beast, until I can get the Mac. I'll play with Premiere for now and see what I can do with it, although I doubt my Dell Precision 650, Dual Xeon CPU with 2GB of RAM and Radeon X1950 Pro video card can do much with this HD video coming from the 5D Mark II. I have the Adobe Master Suite CS4, so I have Premiere and After Effects and all that to my disposal on the PC format (and Mac, I just don't own a Mac yet). Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing. I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. I'm sure if you have an Apple store nearby you can try out FCP there. You can't trial FCP (stupid, I know), but you can check out the Adobe website for a free (and full) trial. They are both powerful though, so go with what seems best.
Also supports practically any video/audio file thanks to Direct Show filter support, though the mac version of Premiere won't have that anyway. Plugins and photoshop/after effects integration are also great in Premiere, which is more or less a given they are Adobe products. That said, I've grown a bit more accustomed to Premiere, now with workspaces that suite me, and the easy switch between them when editing one thing or another. I'll tell you that, from the little I've used it, I find FCP easier to manage than Premiere, cleaner layout with things where I want them off the bat.
