Re: Premiere Pro 6 to 5.5 frame grab comparison

[Bernhard Grininger] "the availability of field recorders determines the choice of NLE;"

True to a point. Remember, Premiere Pro can play Pro-Res no problem and can encode it at a cost of $50 for compressor from the Apple App store.

Avid DNxHD is a different story, but you can use AME as a batch, background transcoding solution to convert media to something that PRemiere Pro can use. yes, I know that's not optimal at all, but it is at least one possible answer.

With many cameras having an HDMI output, you can capture via a hardware i/o, uncompressed or any other manner of codec that the io card supports.

All that said, the most important thing I can convey is that Adobe does recognize that while Native editing is best in most situations, a DI codec is important and we are looking into solutions and opportunities for the future.

Much more I'd like to say, but will leave off this missive here.
