Compressor. But I might have to try the Export to ProRes right from Avid option…see if I can bypass this gamma thing.

Ooooo…exporting to ProRes DOES get rid of the gamma issue. Nice. Now this is a pretty slick workflow.

ThanksShane. I’m nearly there except I can’t get Color to see the converted (to pro res) clips. Is it enough to just tell it where the output from Compressor is, or does it need to know here the clips themselves are?
-
After you convert the footage to ProRes, you need to open the EDL manager in Avid, and export an EDL of just the video layer…CMX3600. Then open Color…import the EDL, and it will ask for the accompanying media file. Point to the file then.
Are you saying you imported but it doesn’t see it? Red X over the footage?

That’s right. Red X on what would otherwise be a clip.

Make sure it is ProRes, and proper dimensions and frame rate. Not some non-broadcast format. Open the file in QT, or even FCP and look at it.

YES!!! The pro res conversion checked out OK, but what I had overlooked was an EDL import radio button in Color – ‘Import as cut list’. I checked that and then all clips came into Color just perfect. Do you know what the gamma shift is? I found setting master Gamma somewhere between 0.7 and 0.8 set it back where it was. Maybe Compressor can be set so no shift occurs? Thanks Shane that’s a few steps too many but under the circumstances keeps a great correction program alive and well for a us as we make the change to Avid.

I don’t…I guess I should. I found that Master gamma too, and set it back as well. That’s how I corrected the gamma shift in Color, and dragged that to all the clips, used it as the base.

Hey, save a step and export ProRes out of Avid MC. Saves a layer of compression, and the file is ready for Color then. So Avid directly to Color, render, go to FCP just to get it out of Color, export as a self contained file in FCP, use AMA to get that back into Avid MC…transcode…, add titles and graphics…done. Similar to what you’d have to do in Resolve, or if you output to tape.
So glad that I can still use Color…

OK but how do I export with Pro Res Codec. No such option available on export drop down list. Ref file is exporting with original codec which in this case is XDCAM EX. Is there a setting somehwere deep inside AVID where I can customise the export parameters?
-
If you have Final Cut Pro on the same system, it should be there. Near the Avid DNxHD codecs.
