Yes, but I can’t seem to create a 3K timeline. FCPx defaults to either 2K or 4K.

Thank you — that’s helpful.

That is a horrible bug! Thanks Shane, I’ll have him do that.

Final question on this subject:

If I export a full-res mixdown from FCP, bring it into Media Composer, and transcode the Pro Res footage into Avid MXF footage, obviously there will no longer be any sort of record of where the cuts exist.

To save my colorist the time of having to go through the 90-minute file and manually make cuts before grading the shots, is there a way to export a document from FCP that Avid will be able to interpret that will relay where the cuts need to be in the new Avid MXF footage?

Can I do that type of transcode in Media Composer, or only Avid Studio?

Oh, that’s a great idea. Thanks John!

Two roads I could think of:

1. I could export a full-res mixdown of the whole project, and convert it in Compressor.

2. I could use Media Manager to transcode the project in Final Cut.

Is one method less lossy than the other? Is there a reason to favor one route over the other?

Update: Restarting Final Cut has made it so that I can paste the 30p clips into the 24p sequence — however, I’ve done enough research on this subject to know that’s probably the wrong way to go about this.

Any insight you can offer would be very much appreciated.

Thanks again,

Ben
