Thanks, Shane…that’s very helpful.

Thanks John, I should have been clearer…I assumed nearly everyone with a mac used Apple Photos but now I’m thinking that everyone that uses a mac and cuts with Avid uses another app to store their photos.
Thanks again.

Thanks for your help, Michael…when I drill down and after opening numerous numbered folders, there is always an image when I open a folder. But I have no clue as to what that image will be. Not a sane way to work. What I want is a way to see all the photos in one window. Here is a pix of what I’m talking about when I try to link. And another after choosing to import media instead of using the source browser – which shows Photos under the Media Heading . In that instance when I click on Photos all my photos appear in one window.

I can see the Photos Library on my external drive, but to actually see thumbnails of the photos requires so much work that it’s clear that I’m doing something wrong. When I open Photos Library I see 13 folders like Masters, Modified, Originals, etc. If I click on a folder I see many more folders based on Years. Within those folders are many numbered folders, which is not very helpful. I must be doing something very basically wrong. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Shane, I thought that might be my issue. I keep my photos on my raid drive, Qx2. They are there in my Photos Library. They are not on my Mac hard drive. How should I correct this? Does that mean I won’t be able to see them as I can when I IMPORT a file? Maybe I have to put a folder on my desktop that contains the photos I want to use?

Thank you, Tero, for your help…I see now that tracking in AE is not for wimps.

Thanks, Dave! You’re right. After setting some anchor key frames and working with the speed graph I was able to do it! Appreciate your guidance.

I’m importing into an Avid project where the format is 1080i/59.94

I have tried importing the QTs into Avid as UFF (also tried Ordered for current format and LFF). And even AMAing.

My AE comp is 59.94 1920×1080) Exported out as QT with the Avid DNxHD Codec at 59.94 (UFF but have also tried LFF and Progressive – which apparently is the default Field Order when choosing the DNxHD codec)

The QTs at 59.94 play smoothly by themselves, (QTs made at 29.97 do not)

Unfortunately I can’t get the QT to play smoothly inside Avid, no matter what I try.

Thanks for your help, Shane!

Thanks for the quick response Shane and thanks for your
helpful instruction videos.
I am exporting out of AE at 1080i/59.94.
But I can’t seem to get my QT export into Avid
Without the stuttering I talked about. My Avid project
That I’m importing to is also 1080i/59.94. And I’ve
Tried making QTs as UFF and importing as UFF and
never get a smooth pan.
I appreciate your help!

Thanks for your post. I’ve been doing simple scans and have not been able to figure out why they are jerky after rendering…no info out there that I can see. But you’re right! When I switched from 29.97 to 59.94 and then rendered everything was smooth! Finally! Thanks again.
