What are the differences between academic and non-academic versions?

Thanks Michael,
Good call on using a 3rd party transcoder, it’s a pain to do it this way. Unfortunately that’s not my call at work, but I will certainly bring it up. As for the data rate, I’m also not sure, I know that 4GB equals rougly 12 minutes of video. This footage was shot across the country and then just shipped to me on a external hard drive. Thanks for your help, Menu meters sounds great I’m going to download it right now. And if you’re ever working with double system 7D/5D footage I would recommend the program Pluraleyes, its great for syncing separate audio and video footage in the background.
Much Appreciated,

To tack on to Shane’s post, make sure you also create the Avid project on your external drive.

Frank,
If nothing else, you could try using the consolidate function and copy everything from Avid projects onto the individual external drives. Time consuming? Definitely. Or, try pulling up the media tool and viewing all the media files for each separate project and then copy them over.

Thanks Shane, very helpful.

Thanks Tom-
I understand that the prores codec isn’t downresing, but I would like to downconvert my 550D footage to DV so that I can multi-clip constantly without any lag. I downconvert in either MPEG Streamclip or Compressor, I just don’t really know how to upconvert back to 1080p from DV.

I don’t have concrete solution to this, but why don’t you just try converting a couple of GBs of footage to 1080p and see if you still get the judder? I haven’t ever had this issue despite working with different frame rates together on an everyday basis. Is the 720 footage from the Canon or Varicam?
I would also try exporting some of the “stutter” footage and see if you still have the same problem with the exported clip.
-
Well you could try deinterlacing in mpeg streamclip (free download) or compressor once you’ve exported.
-
How are you editing the footage? Via AMA or did you import/transcode? I’m not sure if that would make a difference or not but you may want to try transcoding a few clips if you haven’t already. And what kind of artifacting?
-
Well I was having the same problem. When I didn’t have my external functioning as the main media drive I got that annoying message “can only import shot logs.” With only one partition I had to change the read/write permissions, that may be your problem.
