Question about AVID and Quicktime exporting
FCP guy here, but with an AVID Media Composer potentially in the edit situation.
Can you guys export a Quicktime reference movie of a sequence
that will allow you to then drop that movie into Compressor (assuming I’ve got
FCS also installed on the Mac Pro) ?The new Quicktime 7.1.6 allows for timecode to be displayed on the player
which allows for the elimination of the window burn step when having
online h.264 clips viewed by composers, transcription people and clients.
And Quicktime 7.1.6 is cross platform for our windows clients.
If AVID Media Composer allow integration with Quicktime, that will really help.Thanks,

Can you export a quicktime reference and take it into Compressor, if it’s all installed on one system? I don’t know, but you should try it. I’m guessing it will work.
HOWEVER…
Quicktime 7.1.6 isn’t currently certified with Avid. It may work–it will probably cause problems. You can try it, then roll back if it doesn’t work.
Also, exporting a quicktime or quicktime reference from Avid will strip the timecode–I don’t know if 7.1.6 will fix this, but I doubt it.
Good luck!
Michael.

Avid Quicktime exports do not retain the sequence or source timecode.
