Importing quicktime video to xpress pro hd
I have made a few stabs over the months figuring out the best way to import compressed hd video from a cheap little Aiptek camera that records .mov files on an sd card into a 60i Avid Xpress Pro HD project. I had posted on this a few months ago, and I’d love some feedback on the latest solution I’ve stumbled into to see if anyone thinks there are any drawbacks to this option.
The problem was that when I imported directly there was no audio. My provisional, time-consuming solution was to import into iMovie hd, and then from there to Avid. That worked but took a long time and who knows what I may have lost in the process? I finally got Sorenson Squeeze. I tried converting it to the DNxHD codec but got weird artifacts when I imported – but the audio was fine (selecting mpeg-4 audio 16/48000). Since there was no reason to transcode the video anyway, I just transcoded the audio for a clip. Then I used autosync to marry the imported video and imported transcoded audio to create a new subclip. That seems to work fine. Does anyone see any reason not to do it this way? Is there a better way to go here?
