If I'm cutting ProRes footage in Premiere what should the sequence settings be?
I don't see anything for ProRes?
 
If you are just importing ProRes footage (and not exporting), then you can do this on PC too. You just need the ProRes Decoder installed on your system. I'm not sure, but I would assume you could get the ProRes Decoder on Mac without Final Cut if all you are needing is import functionality?
 
i think you need to buy quicktime to get the prores codec. not sure if you can output prores though.
 
Sorry I wasn't clear and I'm probably just overlooking something but I'm new to Premiere and don't see the ProRes sequence settings.
I DO have FCP studio and all the ProRes codecs on my system. I'm on a mac. I just don't see the option for ProRes in the sequences settings drop down menu (I wonder if it's because I'm currently running Premiere CS5.5 as a DEMO) ?...
 
Hi,

Premiere is footage independent. meaning you can open a DV timeline and throw in epic r3d and DLSR footage and start editing.
The only thing is that probably theres no preset for ProRes, but you can create your own. Just go to settings and choose Custom. You can also pick up any preset that has the same frame rate and size of your footage and you are probably good to go.

Hope this helps

As Fabricio mentioned, Premiere is footage format independent. All you really need to be worried about is whether your sequence is the same frame size, field type and frame rate as the footage you are wanting to load onto it - it will sort out the rest.

For example if your ProRes Footage was 1920x1080, progressive and 25fps, then you could use any sequence that matched those specs. You could create a custom preset to this spec, or you could use a number of presets that would be based on this structure (ie, XDCAM EX, 1080p, 25fps). It would all still work, because Premiere will let you throw any format file on any timeline.

Hope this helps :)
 
There is an easier way. Bypass all the create settings windows by cancelling them and once your project comes up with the clip in the project window drag it down to the new project (?) icon and it will automatically create the settings for your footage.

It isn't there – you need to create it.

See my earlier post in this thread as it shows you how to do this

Easy way to create a matching sequence is drag the footage onto the "new" button on the bottom of the project window. (works in AE as well)...

Dave's tip o the day

Damn Rob beat me to it... Well played sir! Also of note we decode prores on mac/win encode on mac when the encoder is present.
