Activity Forums Avid Media Composer Can’t import footage

  • Can’t import footage

    I just installed Avid and I’m trying to import some footage I had captured from a miniDV cam through Sony Vegas.
    Could it be that importing the footage through Sony Vegas made the files incompatible with Avid?
    They are .avi files, 1536kbps, 720×480, 29fps, 16-bit PCM.

    Thanks

    I read somewhere that Avid could not handle .avi files over 2gb due to legacy file restrictions. Has this still not changed with 3.0?

    I also read you could convert them to QT with a lossless codec…does Sorenson offer that option, and if so, which options would that be?
