I've been looking what little there is available about the upcoming Panasonic AJ-PX270 and the AVC-Ultra family of codecs. And I've been wondering about CODEC support.
In particular, in the docs for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, I found this:
"Some filename extensions—such as MOV, AVI, MXF, FLV, and F4V—denote container file formats rather than denoting a specific audio, video, or image data format. Container files can contain data encoded using various compression and encoding schemes. Premiere Pro can import these container files, but the ability to import the data that they contain is dependent on the codecs (specifically, decoders) installed.
By installing additional codecs, you can extend the ability of Premiere Pro to import additional file types. Many codecs must be installed into the operating system (Windows or Mac OS) and work as a component inside the QuickTime or Video for Windows formats. Contact the manufacturer of your hardware or software for more information about codecs that work with the files that your specific devices or applications create."
Emphasis mine. I'm wondering if Panasonic (or anyone else) is going to make a plug-in available that will help us CS6 users import and edit AVC-longG50 files? I'm sure that Adobe isn't going to do it. Panasonic should. But will they?
