compatibility between AVID and FCP

[Walter Biscardi]

That’s an Avid codec so you need to have that codec installed on your machine to make it work, though I’m not sure you’ll be able to play anything in realtime with that codec. I believe you need the Avid hardware to make that work.

The Automatic Duck Pro Importer allows you to bring in an Avid Project, media and all, and work with it in FCP.

Howdy, Try downloading the FREE AVID DV progam, this installs a majority of the CODECS from AVID ….

Cheers

These free dv avid does that include working with uncompressed media like I do?

Avid codecs WON”T work with FCP. Download the codecs and export from QuickTime with the Apple uncompressed codec. Then import into FCP. You’ll need a lot of disc space!

Do a Google search for the codec. I don’t remember exactly where I found it a while ago, but it is out there. I have it in my system and it works fine although, as Walter notes, the files will not play back well without rendering lacking the Avid hardware.

Avid Quicktimes will work on in FCP, Avid omfs will not. If you exported a QT your OK, but you can’t just grab the files from the OMFI folder.
Install the Avid codec & all QT will play. https://www.avid.com/onlineSupport/browse.asp?productID=0&topicID=404&browse=

The above statement applies to you situation, uncompressed. I thought in DV land the Adrenaline captured in QTs? Not sure though, never worked in DV rez. My Adrenaline is in pieces right now and can’t check that out…I’m too busy cutting in FCP!

The

can i call you The? or is it thefreak? how about mr freak? 🙂

this may be obvious, but do you have a kona or a blackmagic? if so install the software codecs on the avid, and export in the native file format for fcp

OR do as mentioned above, but make sure you are exporting out of quicktime in a kona or bm native codec, not just apple uncompressed (for more infor go the aja website and look under kona downloads)

hope this helps

Hi Bob. My name is really Frick but I unfortunately was in a bit of a hurry when I came up with that stupid name thefreak. Anyway. My graphicsguys have exported the stuff I need from After effects and using an AVID-codec which does not work. What we evntually did was to export the material, a 30 sek bumper, as a tif sequence then ran that through quicktime exporting it as 8-bit uncompressed. I use black magic. The strange thing is that when I tried to import the sequence straight into fcp I got an error message, insufficient content for edit. I think this is a bug.
See you
Peter
