Looking for help on HVX-200 24p -> Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 workflow
Up to Community Blog
I've got a short film that I shot on an HVX-200 that I'd like to edit in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. Premiere Pro 2.0 supports 720p HD editing, but it doesn't natively ingest the MXF format that the HVX-200 captures.
I could try and edit the project in Final Cut Pro, but I'm much more comfortable with Premiere and I'm wondering if there's a relatively easy way to throw the footage on an FCP timeline and then export it to a suitable format that Premiere can import.Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!
Best,
Wes

Wes,
I was a Premiere Junkie for many years (ran a 50 machine lab at USC and was
a beta tester for the first version of Pro) and feel your pain as I was
devastated when they decided not to natively support he awesomeness that is the HVX200 
That said - you have three options that I know of (in order of cheapest to most expensive).
-Raylight(http://www.dvfilm.com/raylight/) allows you to use a wrapper to basically use your files within premiere (a proxy). The company is a good one and makes well-made stuff but I don't know how well it works with big projects or what kinds of bugs it has.
-Cineform (http://www.cineform.com/) uses an intermediary codec(which you transcode to before editing) that then works from within Premiere. They are also well known and say that there codec holds up longer than keeping it in DVC-PRO HD (which it is now) over
multiple generations.
-Matrox
Axio (http://www.matrox.com). The accelerator will allow you to edit with full analogue in and out (I think HD as well) and on the time line natively with real time effects and so on.
My advise is, if you don’t feel adventurous, I would be to stick with using Final Cut for this Project. (I switched to using AVID Xpress Pro HD just because of my cam.)
GL MAN!

Yeah, that HVX/Avid xPress Pro HD workflow is SWEET. But in the mean time, if that stuff didn't work, you might also try going to AVS4YOU.com to look for the conversion settings you need. You can download whichever converter you
need for free...I think the activations start at like, $60-$70 bucks, though. Best of luck. (nice reel, by the way)
