How do I implement Avid DNxHD codec?

[Wayne Blackburn]

OK, so I have an imac OS X and I’m trying to edit a variety of files and one is in this DNxHD codec. It was edited in Avid and I’m trying to use it in FCP 7. I’ve downloaded the Avid Codec package and all it did was make it to where FCP crashes every time I try to bring the clip to the timeline.

I noticed that the above responses are geared towards PC and was hoping someone could help me with this in Mac terms. I’ve deleted the preferences folder yada yada and it still crashed. I don’t know what else I can do at this point. The video will open in QT, however I can’t export it because it fails every time I do.
