Thanks! Will definitely try that!

I hope my last post came though? Maybe it takes a while for the admins to read it.

I only have one question about importing the files as DNxHD 36 in to Media Composer. I don’t have this option when I go to my bin –> right click –> import and go to options. I only have a few other options.

When you work with DNxHD 36 in Avid, do you compress it in a separate program or in MC itself? Do I need to download a plug in to be able to import it directly as DNxHD 36?

Michael:

Yes that is true. Avid is a good editor if your doing long work or just normal edits. I can work faster in premiere and I feel that I’m able to experiment more than I can in Avid.

So I guess it’s as you say, some jobs fit better for one editor and another job for another one.

I guess being able to work on both programs would be the best choice. Then I can chose between them on different projects.

It does sound kind of odd that you have to do it one at a time.

I guess I will have to ask my self the same question I do almost every day;

Avid vs. PPro

Avid vs. PPro

Avid vs. PPro

That’s in my dreams too.

Yes it definitely has. Another thing is that the trimming could be better. There should be a tool like top/tail (avid) which would make it very easy to trim in some situations. I’m also not a big fan of the trim mode. It should all be done directly on the timeline like in Avid and I think fcp too?

Do you mean relinking in Avid? Can’t you do it all at once?

[Benjamin Lundin]

That sound great! That would makes it easier both to edit and to save some space on the harddrive. I will definitely try that out!

Premiere pro isn’t bad at all, but I think that it’s good getting used to work in avid more and more.

It’s a shame that almost no film school here in Sweden uses Premiere pro. It’s always Fcp and Avid. Well well, your answer makes a lot of sense and I’ll try it! Thanks!

Yeah that’s true, but sad enough I have to learn Avid sooner or later since I plan to going on a film school, and I would choose Avid over FCP there.

Yes that is true. I currently have altogether 3TB on my two disks.

I guess after I’ve read your answer that there is no solution to what I asked for. I will have to think about it then. AMA works for smaller projects, but for the big boys I will probably do it the normal way, or go with Premiere.

Thanks!
