I am using Premier Pro CS4 and the Sony EX1r's, shooting HD 1920 X 1080 30P.

I have a questions, and hope this is not so basic its stupid.

I have been using breeze browser to export my clips to my Video drive by choosing to export mxf for NLE, this takes quite a while.

I just for the heck of it tried to import a file right of the card, it imported as an MP4, and I had to break out the audio to mono to be able to control each channel but it all was quick and easy.

Will doing it the second way, (quick and easy) give me the same quality final product or have I been doing it correct all along and export the mxf for NLE and then import that file into the timeline in Premier Pro CS4.

Thanks

The file system/editing of NXCAM and EX1's doesn't have much in common. You should post your question here: Sony XDCAM EX CineAlta Forum at DVinfo.net (http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/sony-xdcam-ex-cinealta/)
