Footage from Final Cut to Meridien?
Hey Guys,
I’m STILL using a meridien based system as our primary machine. I have a freelancer who shot with an EX3 in 1080i. I need to get footage into our system to edit.
He’s using a Final Cut system…so I had him import, downconvert (placing footage into a 720×486 D1 Sequence) Then export using installed Meridien codecs.
Everything worked…files open with QT and show the Meridien codec, they’ll open with After Effects…seem completely fine. But won’t import into my AVID.
I have SEVERAL clips…too many to do a re-render through After Effects.
Any luck working from Final Cut to Meridien codec? What is the secret formula? 🙂
Thanks for your help!

Is going to tape and digitizing it not an option?
It’s a slow import but the animation codec is always generic.

I posted in the Final Cut forum as well…and someone made the suggestion of digitizing out via SDI and letting the cam do the downconvert.
I’m trying to get a fast import…there will be several clips. I think rolling from camera may be the best option.

I believe in that case, you’ll be bringing it in componant with deck control off. That camera has a componant spicket and otta have a little compnant adapter you can plug directly into your break out box.
