February 6, 2008 at 7:00 pmHow did you acquire the footage? IMX tape through E-VTR, XDCam? What software are you using to decode the MXF? Sony, Flip 4 Mac?

February 6, 2008 at 9:48 pmI would agree, Export it from QT to another format DV50, ProRes, IMX 50,UC, ect. and see if that works.

February 7, 2008 at 3:34 pmIf it’s possible to have the people that gave you the footage to re-dig, I’d ask for that. We have Mpeg IMX decks here. I do all my stuff at 10 bit uncompressed (Graphics and other footage are in 10 bit). The back of our Mpeg IMX deck has SDI outs and ins, so though the footage is stored on tape with this format, it can behave like a D-Beta deck.
Good luck,
BearHope all is well,
