  • avid codec (DNxHD) is it compatible with Leopard and QT7.4?????

    Posted by Todd Reid on January 29, 2008 at 1:47 am

    I can’t find any information on AVID’s website on if its compatible with Leopard (it just says mac os x) (leopard is os x 10.5) (I’m technically on 10.5.1)

    I’m trying to export from a Final Cut system and client requires DNxHD.
    I’ve done this several times before I upgraded to leopard and QT7.4.

    What I’m getting is very bad (blotchy) black (dark) levels.
    In the movie settings tab is tells me that the quality is set to Medium, but there is no where to change this. In my previous setup (different computer all together) I had a slider that I could change the quality settings to high (or best-can’t recall).

    Any thoughts from the AVID gurus?

    I answered you in the FCP forum, but for the sake of the people in this forum–it’s probably Quicktime 7.4 that’s your problem.

    While Avid isn’t supported on Leopard yet, there are people that run it using some workarounds and from what I’ve read–it runs fine. Quicktime 7.4, however, has caused all kinds of problems with all kinds of software–I wouldn’t be surprised if this is related to it.

    Michael.
