Avid MC5 with AMA to Avid DVD workflow
Just acquired an MC5 system and some JVC GY-HM100E cameras. Alls works fine up to the point where I’ve finished editing and want to export for DVD authoring. Previously with the old Express Pro system I’ve exported QT reference files, but of course with AMA that’s not possible. What’s the elegant way of getting stuff out of MC5 and into Avid DVD by Sonic? So far everything I’ve tried has either not worked or taken so long as to nullify the speed advantages of working with the cameras and their mp4s. Am I missing something?

Can you export same as source QT?

Thanks for the reply, but no – I get a message saying Long GOP media cannot be exported using same as source, please select a custom resolution or transcode to an l-frame only resolution instead. I have got the sequences out of MC5 now as QT but it took over 12 hours to export 2 hours of material – is that normal? I was really hoping for a faster workflow than that…

Hi – what’s the most elegant (quick) way of getting MPEG2s from consumer camcorders into MC5? With Express Pro I used to use Procoder to transcode to a QT DV preset intended for Express Pro, which then imported into the bin fairly quickly. Doing the same thing with MC5 takes forever, leading me to assume that there’s now a better way. Any ideas?

I have not encountered that yet. I’ve seen other people having similar issues but I have done a lot of exports with AMA clips, not transcoded, with separate music tracks, animations, and separate audio with no problems. The only time I have had trouble is when I change the resolution on the format tab. It will only export if that is set to the true resolution.
