Premier files to FCPPosted by Eric Frost
FCP can play and edit with AVIs, just not well, at least the last time I checked. Not sure if FCP6 deals with them well, but every time I've inherited a project with AVIs in them, performance slows down to a crawl. Doesn't Adobe Premiere have any options to export to QuickTime clips rather than AVIs?

Thanks for the ideas. I don't have Premier to see if it will export in QT, but if it will that woulds seem to be my solution. I understand from the source of the files that they were SD footage edited on some type of Canopus system that has its own unique motherboard/capture system. Th concern is to move hours of finished materials on to a FCP system before the older Premier-based hardward dies or is obsolete. Any advice on how to rearchive and carry on with a huge library of materials in that format would be appreciated.
I was in the same boat to a certain extent. When I've needed old projects from the Premiere PC, I play it in the Premiere timeline and recapture it in FCP. I can still revise the old Premiere project in FCP, but after a certain point it gets a bit ridiculous and you might as well start from scratch.
I've also burned the Premiere projects to a DVD, then recaptured them in FCP by playing them on a set-top DVD player.
