Hello Jeff
Thanks for this. I don't know if you did mention UT but 'Joe Premiere Pro' did. He's cropped up elsewhere, chatting about UT, so I clicked his post (#1) and my reply ended up at the bottom of the thread, next to yours. Sorry for the confusion.
But never mind all that. Thanks very much indeed for your helpful response. Yes, I made a short film about the 2012 Olympic flame and now a museum wants to use some of my footage. I shot it with AVCHD and edited using Premiere Pro on a Windows PC. The museum's production company has a Mac workflow. They asked for a ProRes QT file but that's not so simple, as you probably know. They sent a hard drive through the mail and I really want to ensure that whatever files I put on it (yes, I had to reformat it to ExFAT using a Mac) will be OK for them.
I have the Avid codecs and am outputting the .mov now. Encouragingly, it automatically applied all the source footage settings, too. It's looking promising!
Thanks ever so much, Jeff.
PS My PS to Joe might have been lost on you. From his other posts he looks like a fan of F1, where this season looks like it might get a bit repetitive if Lewis Hamilton keeps winning. Qualifying for Canada starts in 15 minutes and my Avid export finishes in five!
