Reorganise MP4 to EXCard?! at DVinfo.net

Hi

I consider to jump from my Mac system to Premiere, cause I just like the native workflow and premiere is my system :)

Now I already transfered the cards to MP4 Clips.

My Question:
Can I Reorganise the MP4 Clips to an EX Card Format?

Greetings

Sebastian,

With over 100 views I think it is unclear what you're asking.

Are you going from Mac to PC, FCP to Premiere or both? Have you copied the MP4's directly of the SxS or are these rendered files? What do you mean by "EX Card Format" and why is it important to you?

Premiere runs on both Mac and Windows so I think people are a bit confused.
If you're on a Mac and have Final Cut Pro but you prefer Premiere, just get Premiere for Mac.

Maybe someone with Premiere on Mac can describe how import works.

sry for not explaining clearly...

i just wanted to know if i can organise the mp4 files that i converted via transfer software on mac, back to the original file format with bpav folder, etc.

Clip Browser is SUPPOSED to support this but it's broken. It should take an "orphaned" MP4 and create a new BPAV folder. The problem is the BPAV folder it creates isn't "valid" at least on the Mac as far as XDCAM Transfer is concerned.

I contacted Sony about this and they are aware of the bug. Sony told me that ClipBrowser 1.5 (not yet out or maybe fixed in 2.0?) would fix the issue.
