Exporting HDV 1080i60 to an Avid
I need to get some HDV 1080i60 footage from a Final Cut Pro system to an Avid Media Composer running on Windows Vista. The first .mov had audio and only a white screen for video. Do we need to load another video codec on the Avid or use a different export format from the Final Cut Pro system?

You have to transcode to a different codec. ProRes can be decoded on the Windows side, but not encoded, but at least that allows them to use the files and export as whatever they need.

Thanks! Would ProRes be better than transcoding a quicktime with an Avid video codec?

I think the Avid codec works the same way, in that you can read it from FCP, but not write to it.
