avid codec trouble
i’ve been trying to install the avid codec on my macbook pro and it’s not working. I followed the directions here:
https://www.avid.com/onlineSupport/supportcontent.asp?browse=go&productID=0&contentID=3555
but whenever I try to view a movie that was exported from avid with the same as source settings, i just get a white box
in after effects i have the option of rendering with the avid compression but then the movie renders justa white screen
anyone know if there is some trick or if the codec goes to a different place than where they said, if you are working on an Intel
scrambling with a deadline. PLEASE help! Thanks! -

If you’re working on an Intel Mac you’re out of luck–the Universal Binary Avid codec hasn’t been released, and the older Avid codecs don’t work on the new Intel Macs. I suggest rendering your Avid files out in the Animation codec. It should work.

Thanks for confirming this sad situation. Unfortunately the animation codec makes gigantic files and they take forever to import into the Avid. Sigh. Oh well, hopefully it will be corrected soon. At least I know I’m not crazy on top of everything else.

Word on the street is that the Mactel version of Avid will be finished/released end of Q1, which is coming up. Cross your fingers and hope Avid makes their deadline.

You can launch Quicktime Player in Rosetta mode and get access to the Avid codec.

Hi,
Digital Anarchy (digitalanarchy.com) makes a lossless codec called microcosm codec that is suposedly much (3x?) smaller than Animation and is lossless.
I can’t vouch for this but there you have it.
