The company I work for wants to use the Ex-1 and take the footage straight to a Mac desktop using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.

I've plugged the USB cable from the camera to the Mac, it recognizes the drives on the camera, I can transfer the clips to the Mac and of course when you put them in Premiere, there is video, but no audio.
I expected that much.

If I install the Sony Clip Browser software for Mac, will it wrap the Ex1 files so Premiere will be happy with them? I've been led to believe it's not that easy.

I know at least with Final Cut Pro there is a Sony plug in that makes everything work.

Will an expensive third party solution like Cineform have to be used?

The company has a copy of FCP, but having to import into FCP, then export to PrPro isn't a smooth workflow.
