“We want to import some clips from a new Canon 5D mark iii to Premiere Pro 5.5 on PC; these mov files could be playback well with QuickTime but not with PP 5.5. It always hangs up and we have a reboot the PC.

It’s really confusing because we have been succeeded in importing 7D and XDCAM EX footage before. It that a camera thing? Or I did anything wrong? Anyone using mark iii also have this problem? Thanks!”

The Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital Camera is a full-frame 22.3MP DSLR featuring exceptional still image and movie recording capabilities which is based on the EOS 7D design. Canon EOS 5D Mark III supports multiple formats, including 1080/30p, 24p, 25p; 720/60p, 50p; 480/30p, 25p. While recording video, a 4GB automatic file partition is employed in order to gain longer continuous recording times, up to 29 minutes 59 seconds. Both All i-frame and IPB compressions are supported as well as the standard H.264/MPEG -4 AVC codec. Embedding the time code is also possible for greater convenience when recording with multiple cameras.

In this case most common video it outputs should be H.264 MOV files. Although these files have the same extension with quicktime mov, they are not in the same codec. Apparently it’s a CS5.5 thing because PP 5.5 doesn’t support H.264 codec.

Now, how can we import Canon 5D Mark III footage to Premiere Pro 5.5?

Here are two solutions:

Method 1.

Right click your MOV footage; rename the .mov files with .mpg extension. This “fools” Adobe Premiere Pro into thinking it’s a different codec.

It works in this way; however, your footages didn’t turn into another codec so that Premiere Pro 5.5 may still does something wrong during editing. And if you didn’t do a backup before changing the extension, it really ruins your valuable footage.

Besides, here’s another problem: what if you have hundreds of clips to be edited? Rename all of them could be such a pain!

So here comes the second way to let Canon 5D mark iii import to Adobe Premiere Pro 5.5 smoothly.

Method 2.

Come and meet this Canon to Premiere converter (20% off now) which would be a vital part of your workflow. You can order a license directly, or download a trial version here.

AVCHD Lite identifies a subset of AVCHD format, in which progressive-scan video is acquired at 30 frames with 720-line resolution. Such a video is recorded in the AVCHD 720p 60 stream by using a flag telling a decoder to play each frame twice. Announced in January 2009, the Panasonic DMC-ZS3/DMC-FT1/DMC-TZ7 digital cameras were the first digital cameras to offer AVCHD-lite movie mode. Since then, Panasonic has added AVCHD-lite to more of its digital cameras, the most typical models is the Lumix DMC series.

“We shot some videos with a Nikon D7100 from a friend, but somehow these mov files could not playback smoothly in quicktime? We can watch them normally on camera without jerky so the videos are ok. Can someone help?”

Nikon D7100 is a newly launched high-end DSLR camcorder, with the 24.1-megapixel enthusiast-level device and price tag topping the ￡1,000 marker. It is equipped with some new features, such as the DX-format CMOS sensor of 24.1 effective megapixels and the high-performance EXPEED 3 image-processing engine without a low-pass filter, which enable sharp focusing with high resolution. The incredible combination of the high pixel count and the full HD quality of the D7100 can be enhanced further with NIKKOR lenses, which offer superior rendering performance made possible with Nikon’s own optical technologies.

However, you may have hard time editing Nikon D7100 1080p MOV footage in QuickTime player, for it is H.264 encoded high-def streams. Many nonlinear editing programs on mac do not support H.264 codec directly, not even QuickTime player.

If you have a powerful PC with powerful editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 (or Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD, Avid MC) installed, it won’t be a problem for playing and editing the 60D footage, otherwise you may get involved in playing back and editing issues. In that case, many people convert the H.264 codec into other codecs that are more common, e.g. Quicktime mov format. So is there an easy-to-use converting program to help with this?

I’ve tested a lot and finally found this Nikon H.264 MOV to QuickTime MOV Converter is exactly what I need. No need to install third party plug-in, no need to fix the settings manually, just import, choose QuickTime MOV, and click Convert; it’s just as simple as that. The software does a good job in editing H.264 .mov files directly and easily convert Nikon D7100 video to AVI, WMV, MPG, FCP, iMovie/FCE, etc. You can also remux, Trim, cut, split, mix videos, overlays, add 3D effect to D7100 H.264 footages. Now Mac 10.8.3 is supported, feel free to have a try!
