Useful for an amateur to upgrade from...

Hello,

Is it recommended for a bloody amateur to upgrade?

I have just purchased a Sony 520 with AVCHD.

Is Premiere Pro 7 able to handle this format?

Thanks for all hint.

Regards

Aloha

Pro 1,0 (7) will not handle AVCDH.

CS4 will but you will need a QuadCore to go along with it.

I know but, that is not the problem. If you import the mov clips to the

timeline it will not run smoothly till you render them and that takes a

while,. the final movie to tape however is stunning. I will not be using a

AVCHD codec videocamera, and will not upgrade till Adobe solves the

performance of mov files out of the Canon 5D mark II in I will upgrade when

they get there act together.

Bob,

Have you filed a Feature Request for full Canon 5D MKII support with Adobe? That would be a good first step. Also, Adobe is conducting a survey right now, and you can fill in requests for formats that you wish to use. This would be worth the effort, if you have not done so already.

Good luck,

Hunt

BTW I think that it was the AVCHD support that the OP was asking about. Ann gave them the right info to help make the upgrade decision.
