  Avid MC won’t export as a QT reference

  Posted by John Castelli on July 2, 2008 at 3:10 am

  Hey all,

  I’m having a little trouble with my media composer. I’m working in a 1080i HD project, and I simply tried to export a 10 second sample (literally, ten seconds I just laid in from a masterclip) as a QT reference and avid is telling me that I can not export as a reference, that I need to do it as a QT movie. Any idea why?

  Thanks,

  John

  John,
  If the problem message you are getting says something like “cannot export long GOP”, you may find the answer to your problem in this tutorial of mine

  Hope it helps,

  Hey all,

  Thanks for the help. Mixdowns worked! Never thought to try it because it was simply a master clip with only 1 video layer and 1 audio layer. Is there any other way of solving this problem or are mixdowns essential?

  Thanks again,

  John
