Well this is actually a very interesting project, because the footage was digitized in FCP with the Prores 422 codec, then imported into avid at DNxHD145. The footage still looks good though. For future reference what’s an example of an M resolution?

Thanks for the help,

Brendan

Oh don’t worry people bear with me all the time on these forums, I’m a very amateur also, still in school actually. What I was saying, when I capture from my camera hard drive, I went and simply imported all of the files, which were m2t files on the hard drive, it’s the format that the HDV hard drive captured them as while filming. I would say try importing the files in from your camcorder, I’m not sure what file type they would be though. I’m also a beginner

I would try the import first to import the m2t files. When I had this problem it was from the camera hard drive.

I would definitely follow the instructions that these fine people posted, I was at 30 fps, 1080i. Just make sure your project settings are as Birger posted, it worked for me!

Hey guys,

I FINALLY figured this hard drive thing out, thank you so much for helping me out. Ed, thanks for continually posting back and forth with me, it really clarified some things for me. I’m still in school, and most of my teacher are FCP only, which makes no sense since both FCP and Avid are necessary. I have to learn a lot of avid tips and tricks by myself, like how to work with this hard drive. Thanks again to both of you for helping me out in a tight spot.

Sincerely,
Brendan

Ed,

If I transfer all my footage into FCP with the Pro res 422 codec, then import into avid, do you think I should still transcode in Avid to DNxHD 145?

Thanks,

Brendan

I guess I could just import all the quicktime clips into Avid. Not sure what else I can do.

This poses a bit problematic, there is no 30p option for 1080i. There’s only 50 and 59.94. I suppose I could just transfer it all in FCP and import it into avid if all else fails. Maybe because I’m on the academic version of mc 3.0 HDV 1080i/30p isn’t available? I have a hard time believing avid doesn’t offer this setting though.

Hey Ed,

Thanks for the response, I didn’t think it was something as simple as importing. However, when I try to import the m2t clips I get the message “exception- mpeg import- edit rate of clip does not match project rate.” I shot the HDV video at 1080i 30p, so I’m assuming it should be those settings? And do I change them through the media creation? Right now, my capture settings are 1080i MXF, my import and mixdown/transcode settings are DNxHD- TR 120 MXF, media type MXF.

Thanks,

Brendan

Hey Tom thanks for the quick response.

Use pro res 422 for the transfer or the export? or both?
