Hi all

I'm an FCP guy, but I am about to dive into Premiere Pro 4... just using the trial right now so many features still locked.
The reason being is I plan to do assemble edits on my Mac in PPro 4, and then will pass on my files to be finished off by another editor using PC PPro 4.

A couple of questions...

1) What HDV capture options do I have that will be readable on both Mac and PC timelines?
Can I only capture in Quicktime .MOV on the Mac, or will I have other capture options I don't know about yet?

2) Will I be able to get the PC file back and edit on the Mac if need be?

3) Any other pitfalls I need to know before diving in for a purchase?

I know I have the option of FCP XML export, but am trying to avoid extra hassles for the other editor.

Thanks in advance
Scott
