  • Great news, new avid DNx codec update finally working for me!!!

    Posted by Todd Reid on October 21, 2008 at 9:23 pm

    Usually, I post problems that I’m experiencing, well now I get to post something good.

    I have been troubled by this issue for almost a year now.
    My largest client requires me to export all my segments for delivery to AVID DNx codec, which worked for a long time, then about a year ago, I upgraded QT, OS, and FCS. All of a sudden the DNx exports were horrible, very washed out, and sometimes blotchy blacks.
    I posted several times in this forum and AVID, and never got any good news, only that it was probably the upgrade that did it, which I already knew. Still my client insisted on this particular codec.
    The workaround that I had come up with was a pain….I exported QT, then put that on thumbdrive, imported into my macbook pro (older version of everything), then did the DNx export from there.
    Added time to every project I had. NO MORE!

    Well, I’m proud to report that after 3 updates from AVID (just installed avidcodecs_LE1.10), I am back to GREAT looking exports, nice black and chroma levels.

    THANK YOU AVID!!!!!!!
