  “simple” export question – long GOP

  Posted by Tom Nelson on December 10, 2008 at 2:41 pm

  This should have a simple answer. I’m working in Avid MC Mojo with XDCAM footage. When working in SD with long-form projects, I’d export using a QT ref and do all of my compressions off that in Squeeze, and also work off that in After Effects. Due to the long GOP format of XDCAM HD MXFs however, I can’t export a QT ref, I have to export a QT movie. If I want to keep good quality size on a 1/2 hour video, the file size is quite giant. Any ideas for keeping the file size down, or somehow converting the LONG GOP into something QT reference-friendly?

  Thanks.
