MC5 has additional AMA capabilities. This means that you can open and edit with ProRes QT files (or any other QT file, or even Red files) through Avid Media Access.

This is different from importing, and it is instant.

You don’t have to transcode to DNxHD, but you can. For anything longform, I think a transcode would be recommendable. You will need a powerful system to work with AMA files, as they put more strain on the system than regular Avid media do.

Beware: you cannot create ProRes files in MC.

They don’t come with the download, they do come with the boxed version (which has a higher MSRP). However, if you already have MC, you can purchase the Production Suite from the Avid store (or a reseller) for a few hundred bucks. This contains more than just BCC, but it’s a really good deal.

You could also purchase BCC from BorisFX themselves, at a much higher price.

Before you render everything, are you by any chance working in 25fps? If so, you may just have 25p footage in a 25i/50i project or 25i/50i footage in a 25p project, and then you should be able to just switch your project to the right format.

The .6 patch was pulled from the download center, as there were some serious issues with it, most notably problems with HDV media.

If you feel you need the .6 patch, you would need to get it through tech support.

If you open the QT in QT player, and hit CMD-I, what codec does it specify?
