  • DNxHD codec – where can I find it?

    Posted by Marinvanja on December 28, 2006 at 12:09 pm

    I am using WinXP PRO SP2 platform…

    On AVID site I found a link and downloaded approx. 200MB of DNxHD source code – what ever that is….

    Many files in that folder, but none of them is .exe or installible. They all have some extensions I’ve never heard of!

    So, either is there a way to explain me how to use it and install it (if it was ment for it at all), or please tell me where can I download it from?

    Is it free? Is it big?

    I would also appriciate if someone can email it to me…This would be so cowly creative:)

    Please help, I need darn thing!

    Thnx

    In what use case do you need it? What you downloaded was the source code so that you could integrate into an application such as a viewer, player, etc. If you just want to create DNx media, then the Avid QuickTime codecs might be enough for your needs. Go to the Avid website, support, and knowledgebase.

    Thnx for Your answer…

    What I need it for is editing HDV materials – in which (if I learned well from various podcascts and reviews) it helps somehow downconvert workflow while downloading and still exports the movie in again origianly upgraded solution…

    If I even got it right, how can I be sure that I have that codec (can I see its existance anywhere) and, more important, HOW DO I MANIPULATE IT from within AVID EXPRESS HD PRO…

    Is there an option to “TURN IT ON/OFF” or something like that???

    THnx!

    What you can do:

    Capture HDV and edit HDV native directly in Avid Xpress Pro
    Or, select all your sources and transcode to DNxHD (see transcode in User Guide).
    The Video column in the bin will display the format/codec for that clip.

    Edit away.
