Best format to export from Final Cut X for Premier user

I am having some difficulties exporting from FCPX in a format that is usable in Premier. I have sent my exported files from FCPX in the Mac environment and sent to another party using Premier 0n a PC. When they load my file they have no audio or it won't play at all. They opend my files in VLC to test and it plays fine. So far the codec I sent was MPEG-2 Linear PCM Timecode and we also tried Apple ProRes 422. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance for any help

MPEG 2 is not a good editing codec. Aside from the muxing, it's very compressed. ProRes is Apple centric, I think, or at least you need to have the codec installed for it to work.

The simplest method would be to go to Export Movie > Export > DV or DVCPro depending on your project settings. If you have Compressor installed you'll have more options available via Export > Using Compressor settings, but this will cost more money if you don't already own it.

Thanks I will give that a whirl and let you know what happens. Thanks for the quick response.

That is strange. we send FCP 6 QT ProRes 422 out to our PC with CS4 Sute all the time.

Do you have the latest "patch" for QT PC, that allows for QT ProRes Ingest?

You know I am not sure if they have that patch. It looks like we are good to go tho with the DVCPRO export. I'd love to know about that patch. is there a link for it?
