Very very newbie ( 6 hours)
I’ve been a premiere pro user since premiere 1.5 and just discovered Avid MC5 (LOL)
Anyway, I have a short film that is in premiere (targa,tiffs & Mov’s)
I was wondering if there is a way to transfer my premiere clips into Avid.
Basically, I want to finish my project in avid. Is there anyway to transfer the clips or would it be a nightmare?

Why does it take so long to import targas, mov, mpegs, etc.. into avid?
Is it transcoding? I do notice that fades and effects run in real time, so i’m guessing that it does something to them.
When I import a file it asked for “video Resoulotion”, why?
Ok, that’s 3 questions….sorry
Thanks,
Lou

Hi.
With the latest version of premiere you should theoretically be able to export an aaf which avid can import. The media will show up a offline, but using MCs ama you should be able to link to the movs, and then batch import the tiffs and targas.
Avid, when not using AMA, does an actual import. Unlike FCP or Premiere, which really just “link” to your media, Avid as you say, transcodes it into MXF or OMF – the file format on which Avid runs.
That is why it asks for a resolution. 1:1 or 1:1 10bit will be fairly “lossless”. If you’re working in HD, then DNXHD 185x or 220x will be a very high quality compressed HD format.

thank you so much for the quick response.
That sounds like good news…(i hope)
