Thanks everybody for the responses… As far as “why would [I] want to go from avid to fcp,” I don’t want to, but that part is out of my hands. We do import as DNxHD or mp4, and re-wrap as .mxf, and that was why I was so confused as to why, when I spoke with the Automatic Duck rep, he mentioned certain codecs don’t work.
Anyway, Shane, thanks for the detailed response. I’m going to continue to experiment next week and see where that takes me. I’ll repost if I find anything good.
