  AVI on Mac PPro CS3?

  Posted by Jimmy Brunger on March 3, 2008 at 12:02 pm

  This has sort of been brought up before I think, but couldn’t find anything completely specific to my situation…If I explain, can anybody shed some light on whether it is feesable or if not how much of a pain in the @ss it would be to sort out?…

  I currently capture to PPro CS2 on Windows PC via Decklink (Standard Def) using the BMD 8-bit YUV codec as AVI. Any minor edits in PPro are exported as BMD 8-bit YUV AVIs. I then use these clips mainly in After Effects and render out my final clips back to AVI 8-bit YUV for playout via PPro. That is the extent of my use for PPro.

  SOOOO….my proposed plan is to move over to CS3 on a MAC PRO and be able to use these AVIs in PPro and AE on the mac. What problems am I going to have?

  Obviously I will start to use QT for capture/playout and rendering from then on, but it’d REALLY useful if I could use these old AVIs for alts to old archived jobs.

  Last thing – I won’t really be using PPro to edit much – just capture, playout, encode MPEG-1 + 2 and the odd tiny chop. How stable is CS3 on Mac Leopard at the moment? did they sort out all the problems? I’d probably be using a Decklink HD Extreme.

  Thanks for any advice.
