Bringing over footage from my Avid Adrenaline on PC?
Hey Everyone,
I’m going to do some testing tonight, but thought I would check to see if anyone here would know the answer!
I work on an Adrenaline PC at work, I’m looking to bring stuff home so I can work on my reel…at home I have an I/O setup with my G5. I noticed my Adrenaline has blackmagic codec export options, could I theoretically download the AJA quicktime drivers (from the Xena downloads) onto my Adrenaline PC, export with the codec, and bring it into my FCP system? Or are the codecs included with the Xena software only compatible with Adobe’s products?
I haven’t really worked with bringing in compressed codec stuff in my timeline, but I’m assuming an animation/sorenson3 compressed quicktime would need rendering in a FCP timeline (even if it’s set up as an uncompressed sequence)?
Thanks for the help!

Can you just export it as 10bit Uncompressed quicktime? When you use an aja box it captures it to a 10bit uncompressed file using the Quicktime codec. I think the blackmagic boxes use their own 10bit codec, but it is very similar to the Quicktime one and can be transcoded quickly to the quicktime version. If you do use a compressed video format, such as dvcpro50, on an uncompressed timeline you will have to render material.

Ahh..see, I thought that the aja boxes used their own varation of the quicktime codec! I can do uncompressed…but I’d like to jam as many qt’s on a DVD as I can! I just remember when I brought in Animation QT’s I had to render them no matter what my timeline was set at.

That is going to be true for any time when you are mixing codecs and timelines without some sort of hardware accelerator. Do you have an external HD you can use to export too? Then you could export to 10bit uncompressed which would be much better than even animation.
