Atomos Ninja

Hi Scott,

The ProRes files created by the Atomos Ninja and Samurai devices work fine in Premiere CS5 and CS5.5 on the PC. The only requirement is that Apple QuickTime is installed, which is apparently the case on any new install of Windows, since ProRes has "just worked" on different machines for me without any special codec installation needed!

The only gotcha was that with CS5, it did not support ProRes with 4-channel audio (2-channel clips worked fine). In CS5.5, the 4-channel bug is fixed and all ProRes clips work fine.

You should use the "Media Browser" in Premiere to Import clips rather than just "Import", especially with MXF or other file-based formats that use many folders.

Why would using the media browser feature to import make any difference?

Never mind, I found the reason in the Adobe Community Help. I will try this.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 & CS5.5 * Importing assets from tapeless formats

Scott. I use MXF files off XDcam on CS5.2 and they work great. You just need time to let them conform on capture and then load every time you shut down PPro and re-open.
There is a problem when you go to "normalise" audio on the four tracks and PPro shuts down instantly, so hopefully that's one of the fixes in 5.5.
Pro-res seems to be a no-go and I avoid it completely.
