I read somewhere that Premiere Pro does not like footages from JVC HM100u... I can't remember exactly what I've read but it's either the footage plays choppy or Premiere can't read it at all. Is this true?

The JVC HM100u records .mov (Quicktime) files direct to a card. They can be 1080i or p, 720 30p or 60p. If Premier can work with Quicktime files there should be no problems.

They are HDV Quicktime (in the frame size and rate shot at), they are not H264 which is not an editing codec. I use Final Cut Pro so know little about Premier. A friend tested this camera and bought it straight away, but his workflow is also FCP.

I read this user review on B&H photo:
"I am having Vista 64-bit system with Pinnacle 12 Pro and cannot find any current editor or tool to be able import any type of movies from this camera. I have plenty of footage and do not know how to transfer and edit it. I tested also possibility to get this MP4 files re wrapped as MXF files using the Windows Clip Browser software, but unfortunately that does not recognize any footage either. While this camcorder probably works perfectly and exports into Final Cut Pro on Macintosh, Windows users are not so lucky. I was testing several software packages and did not succeed on my Vista-64 bit system to import any movies into Pinnacle 12 Pro, Sonny Vegas Pro 7, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 or AVID Liquid 7 with MXF re-wrapping or without. Big disappointment."
I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 that's why I'm worried about purchasing this camera.
