Canon 7D - Import clips (Premiere Pro CS4)

Hello,

We recorded a few clips with the camera Canon 7D in FullHD (1920x1080, 16:9, 25 FPS). Now we would like to edit them using Premiere Pro CS4. Is "AVCHD 1080p25" the preset we need to use? We know there is a specific preset for Canon 7D, 5D, etc. in CS5, but not in CS4.

Using that one, it fits the size but the image looks like less colorful and palid. Why does this happen?

In any case, what should we do? Which settings are the proper ones? It is very important for us because it is for our senior project!

Thank you very much in advance!

Marta & Lorena.

CS4 was not well designed to handle DSLR media. You'd do well to consider upgrading to the newest CS6. With the new Creative Cloud subscription service, you might be able to get a full suite upgrade for only $30/month.

Thank you for the reply, Jim!

However, we are wondering if there is a chance to select the properties of the CS6's Canon 7D preset manually in CS4, or do you mean it is impossible to "copy" the settings to use them in CS4?

Is the look of the image (less colorful and palid) the only problem we are going to face by using CS4 instead of CS6? Because if it is so, maybe it is not that terrible, is it? We have also heard about problems with the render.

Thanks,

Marta & Lorena.

You can make a custom preset, see screendump
The problem is that CS4 has trouble handling H.264 in a mov wrapper.

Thank you Ann!

And what are the consequences of the H.264 trouble?
