Installing the FCP codec on a AVID Express/PC system!
A friend of mine digitized alot of files using Final Cut Pro 5, but want to edit the movie on his home AVID Xpress System. (he got a PC)
Is there some codec you can install on the PC so it can read the FCP codec?
On the FCP computer there is a AVID codec installed so the FCP can read AVID files, but in a worst case scenario we could set up a batch export of all the files (it’s like over 100 clips) to transcode them into the AVID codec, but I rather not do that if it’s possible to get the PC to support the FCP file format.
Any suggestions?

[Mike Johnson] “the FCP file format.”
The “FCP file format” is a QuickTime movie.
You can play files captured by FCP without the FCP software using any QuickTime Player.
Avid should be able to import these files with little problem.

Of course Thax you are assuming Mike’s friend captured DV…

Yes, quicktime can play it.
I told him that aswell.But can AVID on the PC play it aswell?
If you install latest version of quicktime for PC, does the AVID application get access to the QT codecs?I don’t own any PC so I have no clue how that works.

he claims it didn’t play for him, but maybe that just means he don’t have QT installed.
I’ll ask him tomorrow.
