Can you natively use h264 media in Avid now or do you have to compress it to an Avid codec?

That.
Although I gotta say, they’re catching up fast. Just check out MotionArray.com’s array of Motion Graphics Templates for Premiere. They’re made in AE for Premiere, just like Motion & FCPX. Same stuff you see for FCPX for the most part. They aren’t as advanced as the whole Motion/FCPX system by any means, but there they are. https://motionarray.com/browse/motion-graphics-templates
I see MotionArray is carrying FCPX templates now too. Something I told him he should do 3 years ago, but he never replied to my email. 😛

The settings can be changed on all those export templates so that in itself is essentially meaningless. BUT if you mean Apple Devices as in a medium quality “Apple Devices” m4v h264 codec file, then no, you’re going to have pretty significant quality loss if you bring that back in and spit it back out an another medium quality m4v h264 file. Apple Devices “Computer” mp4 h264 codec file would be a better choice. That’s a pretty high quality mp4 h264 codec file. It’ll still face some degradation but not as bad.
If you mean Master File being Apple ProRes 422 or better, then yeah, it’ll come back in and go back out pretty lossless.

Let’s not forget FCP 7 did this, BUT, only with ProRes media. FCP7 didn’t work with long gop/h264. And if you did happen to jam some in there and use it, it didn’t get trimmed. My understanding is that Premiere will trim it, but it has to transcode it, which makes it 10x the size in the first place.

But I’m one who really never uses the import window unless I have too. See how I can’t leave those files in place? Just drag them to an event window and you can. They lose their spanning but for me it’s a small price to pay.

Not skimming, “skimmer info”. But you may have misspoken. Works great in 10.4.6 and as far as I remember the last 8 years. You do apparently have to be in list mode. But I just imagined if you were logging in clips from TC you’d be in list mode in the import window.

Turn on skimmer info (ctrl Y) and it’ll show the TC of the skimmer.

Right. But if the card structure was duplicated at the root level of the drive, Final cut will see the drive as a camera. Sounded like that’s what was going on. Needs to finish importing perhaps. Anything going on in the background tasks?

Did you copy the card structure to the root of your hard drive?
