  Transferring project from FCP to Avid with no quality loss?

  Posted by Edward Calabig on August 10, 2011 at 4:02 am

  Hi I was wondering if there was a way to transfer a project from FCP to Avid with no quality loss? I’m using PluralEyes with FCP and would like to transfer everything to Avid after it’s synced since I don’t have PE for Avid. Is there a way to do this with no/minimal quality loss?

  My workflow so far has been t2i h2.64 footage -> ProRes LT

  Thanks!

  Thanks but I guess I should have asked… is there a free way?

  No. The cheapest is Boris AAF. And you cannot convert FULL projects, only sequences.

  Sounds like you are trying to get your synced clips into your Avid (not a sequence).

  You can export each as self contained ProRes LT Quicktimes and bring into Avid via AMA.
  If you want better performance, transcode on the Avid to a DNX resolution (Avids native HD format).

  Make sure you retain a backup, as these synced clips won’t exist anywhere else.
