This is my first post here and thought that you kind souls may be able to help me out. We are moving away from FCP to Adobe Premier CS6 for our editing needs. There are some very good features in CS6 that made us make the move.

I'm trying to figure out a better workflow, but I have something that works pretty well and times out about the same as tape capture.

Then you can send from Premiere to Encore as normal.
