MediaStorm Guide to Installing Missing Final Cut Pro Codecs for Premiere Pro

This article is part of a new series of posts with tips and tricks from our producers' experience working with Adobe Premiere Pro after years of working in Final Cut Pro. To read more about why we made the switch, check out this post. This great tip comes from Jonathan Grubbs via Josh Meltzer. Should you install Premiere Pro on a machine without Final Cut Pro, you will find your machine missing some key codecs such as ProRes. The solution is straightforward. Quit Premiere Pro. Download the ProApps Quicktime Codecs from the Apple site. You’ll receive an error if you try to install the codec package without FCP on your system. The workaround is to first install the free application unpkg. Drag the ProAppsQTCodecs.pkg file on to the unpkg icon. Unpkg wil extract the components to your desktop.

MediaStorm Introduces Asset Parser for Final Cut Pro 7 and Premiere Pro 6

  • Post author:

Today we are releasing our Asset Parser for public use. This free online tool created by the MediaStorm production and development staff generates a list of all image, video and audio files used in a project. When it's time to color correct photography, rather than scanning the timeline for image names, we use the Asset Parser to create a quick list. These file names can then be copy-and-pasted into Apple’s Aperture or a similar application to locate the necessary photographs. Here's an example of an asset list generated by the parser. In addition to speeding up your color correction workflow, this list can be used as a guide for other tasks, such as manually archiving your work. The Asset Parser works with both Final Cut Pro 7 and Premiere Pro 6. Try using the Asset Parser with your project at player.mediastorm.com/tools/asset-parser.

New from MediaStorm–480 Votes for Care

MediaStorm is pleased to announce 480 Votes, a new client project for CARE. This project was produced in collaboration with Ripple Effect Images and support from the Harbers Family Foundation. The project is a short, character-driven video piece that shows the life-changing impact CARE’s programs have had on the life of a woman in rural Peru. The piece extends beyond the surface of what the organization provided and speaks to the psychological effects of empowerment. Project Synopsis: Lourdes Pilco is a middle-aged woman who’s spent most of her life working backbreaking jobs for little money. With the help of CARE, Lourdes was able to send her children to school while setting a new standard for women in her community.
