  Exchanging Footage between Avid MC and FInal Cut Pro

  Posted by Karim Daire on March 18, 2009 at 6:20 pm

  Hi,

  I have received several Quicktime Movies that have been captured on an Avid Mediacomposer. The clips are delivered as Quicktime Files with the Meridian compressed codec to be used in a project in Final Cut pro 6.

  I regularly get the problem that final cut displays the clips way “flatter” (lower white and higher black values) than the original material looks like on Avid.

  The Clips were captured on a Windows Machine and I don’t know where the problem is. I am working in a DV-PAL Sequence and wonder if the cross-plattform exchange, the 601/RGB Colorrange or the DV-Codec is the problem and how I can fix that because when importing to FCP I can’t tweak any settings considering the color range of the clip, at least none I could find.

  I had similar problems before when encoding AVID QT Files for DVD Studio Pro and I also lost contrast in the final MPEGs and the DVDs. Does anyone have experience with working with the Meridan Codec?? Is that the problem and how can I fix the color differences in my workflow??

  Thanks for any hints in advance,

  Karim
