  Automatic Duck – FCP motion parameters not carrying over to Avid correctly

  Posted by Chris Wasmer on November 26, 2010 at 7:05 pm

  Using Automatic Duck to send a sequence from FCP 7 to Avid Symphony 5.
  Original clips are QT, Pros Res HQ, 1080p, 24fps.
  They have been put into a FCP SD sequence — 24fps no field dominance,
  uncompresses-8bit, 720×486, 601 NTSC (40:27) — and edited.
  Clips have been re-positioned, re-sized and cropped to fit into SD graphic boxes with lots of graphic text.
  FCP sequence exported with Duck via AAF, create externally linked files, 24fps, 1:1.
  And Imported into Avid.
  But the clips in Avid don’t match the FCP parameters — they are way too small and not positioned the same!
  I suspect that this has something to do with the fact that the original QT clips are HD.

  Does anyone have a good workflow suggestion, so that layout in FCP will carry over to the Avid?
  I need clips in Avid to have some handles, and to be re-sized and repositioned exactly as they appear in FCP.

  THANK YOU.
