Howdy. I have just recieved a final cut pro project with several thousand video files, all organized into bins. That is all lovely, except that I need to edit them on Premiere Pro CS5 on a PC. Of course the PC can't read the prores files, even though I can open the project on PP. I know how to export FCP projects for Premiere pro, however I can't figure a good way to convert all these files from ProRes into anything usable on the PC. The files were shot on a Sony Z1u, then logged and captured into prores. That makes them HDV 1080i 60 videos. So, my question to all my DVXUSER friends is:

1) how do i convert all these files into something editable (and lossless!) on my PC while maintaining their names and locations in the copy so i can keep the bins

2) what is the best filetype to convert them into.

I have the most recent Final Cut Studio on a MacBook pro as well as Premiere Pro cs5 on that macbook, but it is not practical to do the edit on the MacBook, but they can be used for the converting.

Thank you all.
 
I use ProRes file on Windows in Premiere Pro all the time.

Just download the codecs, as already suggested.
 
No, these are Apple codecs, not something that you get from Adobe. The previous poster responded to you with a link to these codecs already.
 
I have downloaded these and still cannot play them in quicktime on a PC not import them into PremierePro. When i attempted to re-install them or check for install issues, i was informed that I already had a more recent version and the installer closed.

How do you know ProRes was used for this purpose? Is it possible the files actually use Apple Intermediate Codec (very common for HDV on a Mac) instead?

If so, you're out of luck. You won't be able to read those files on anything but a Mac. You'll have to recapture from the original tapes.
 
You could also just transcode the HDV footage on your macbook...ironically, your best bet would be to transcode to ProRes.
