  Trouble Transcoding MC552

  Posted by William Edwards on July 9, 2012 at 1:31 am

  Hello,

  I’m looking to AMA transcode a bunch of clips, however I can’t seem to change the resolution to anything but 1:1 10b RGB MXF. All of the other options are greyed out. I went to Media Creation and the Title generator, etc, were all set the same way.

  I would like to do DNX36 for these dailies, of course.

  Thanks for your time.

  Make sure the project is not set to RGB. Once you set it back, the other resolutions will re-appear. A little silly that project type still defines codec – seems like selecting a codec selection could temporarily enable whatever it needs in the background to do what it needs to do making it easier for first time users.

  Thanks for your response Michael.

  I didn’t set it back to YUV from RGB, but I just reset Avid and it made the options come back. Strange little bug.

  I originally set the project to RGB because I’m working with canon files. Is this incorrect?
