UPREZ Boris Avid AVX

[Matthew Skeris]

Hi Michael, I don’t remember eactly or have access to my Avid for a few days, but in general it all made sense once I realized that SS5 is capable of producing hi quality 1920×1080 QT files with DNxHD codec from Avid-Exported QTref files. I thought SS only made web-quality movies, but I was pleasantly surprised. The key setting is 1:1 frame and Keyframe every 1 frame.

I really like that I can run SS5 in the background while continuing to edit normally with Avid.

Once finished, I imported my 1920×1080 QTref render back into my Avid HD project, it looked indistinguishable from a video mixdown which looks indistinguishable from original footage,imo.

At that point I explored SS5 using an imported SD QTref, using SS5 filters for Crop, Sharpness and perhaps another. I took the time to tweak every parameter incrementally (some of which behaved counter-intuitively) and convinced myself that the result was great. YMMV, but as an SS5 customer, I got immediate, free phone support at SS to explain each setting on the filters… it made all the difference and I saved a preset. Good luck.

How do I maintain the native size when the clip is captured in Avid?

Hi,

That’s a preference that you have to set while importing the clips into the Avid bin. After you click “import” you will be presented with a file browser. In the file browser is a button labelled “options”. Click this button and you will see the Avid Import Settings window. In this window there is a group of controls labelled Image Size Adjustment”. Enable the “Do Not Resize Smaller Images” option. Then press okay to close the window and select the file to import.

I hope this helps,

Peter.
