Audio import issues on Mac AVID Xpress Pro
Hello there,
I have AVID Xpress Pro on a Mac G5. Everything works well but I have trouble when importing wav files created by a digital recorder which is set to stamp audio track numbers, file names and TC start and end to each file. This process worked fine on an AVID Xpress pro operating on a PC. On the mac, I get this message while importing: “creating audio files from QT”. The result of the import, sets every file to the same start TC and all of the audio track numbers (1-4) are set to A1 for every event. I’ve gone back and forth to try and figure out what’s different between the mac and the PC, matched all the settings and the only real difference is the mac always goes through Quicktime (apparently) while the PC seems to bring it straight in with all of the correct information I would have expected.
Can you guys help me out?
Is it a quicktime issue or an AVID/Mac issue?
Any tips on how to deal with that?By the way, Quicktime version installed on the mac and PC is the same: 7.04
Thanks
Soares

So when you write “the process worked fine on an AVID Xpress pro operating on a PC,” are you saying that on the PC you are doing an File >Import > Audio Documents and select the WAV that on import you’re retaining embedded TC information in the master clip for the WAV? I’ve always had to live with the default TC setting for every import in Avid since MC5.5. Is the ability to read embedded TC on import an AXP HD (Windows-only for now) feature? If so, can you tell me if it can also read embedded TC from Quicktime movies too?
