Thanks to the board here I have beaten the problems with saving to quicktime and being able to playback on air. The guy are shooting in progressive but as long as I export odd field first this does away with my problems, also, brining them back to AVID with the color settings on 601 eliminates the fading problems I had.

The problem now is these are some huge files, about 20 minutes/files of video fit on a standard DVD. Is there another format I can use to get more on these DVD’s. I converted video to mpeg files when I worked with Edius and would get 40 minutes worth of files on one DVD but now I can’t get the settings, formula right to do it again….

I saved the file same as source to a folder on the desktop, imported it back inot AVID and had trouble when the action got too fast or the camera panned. I tried burning the file in the folder to a DVD then bringing it into AVID and still the same trouble.

I can’t get every P2 card from the photogs so saving direct from P2 is not an option for me. I’m forced to get the files out of the bins after they have dumped them in.

When these quicktime files play back in AVID they look fine in the computer monitor, (maybe a little bit lighter in color) but my final product plays out on TV and it jumps when the video pans or the action gets too fast on the monitor in the edit bay and on the air.

Is quick time adjustable to make it TV ready. I worked at a previous station on something called EDIUS where we were able to save things as MPEGS and this worked just fine. Is there another option with AVID
