[Mike Jeffs] “ust exporting as dnxhd aith alpha didn’t fix the problem. But the when changing from pre multiplied to straight, then importing without alpha inverted has seem to allow it to come into avid properly.

Thank you all for your help.

Although it does make the clip look odd when just previewing in in QuickTime
“

Yes. It may look weird in Quicktime player, but Avid will be happy..as you have noted.

To Daniel: Yes..you heard correctly…AMA does not support alpha channels.

[John Pale]

You probably have After Effects rendering with a premultiplied alpha. set it to “straight”.

H264 is not MPEG2… It’s MPEG 4.

Try copying the contents of the card to your desktop and try linking to it there.

This worked for me once.

[John Pale]

Cool. Let us know what happens. It does sound like an EVS issue,

[John Pale]

What I am saying is using AMA and transcoding is way faster than what you were doing before with importing anyway.
Usually several times faster than importing.

sorry if I am not being helpful or if i’m not understanding your workflow and why you need to use a straight up import.

[John Pale]

If AMA is working, why not link via AMA and transcode? It’s usually much faster than a straight Import.

None of this info is in the Read Me. With all the complaints about the cost of the upgrade..because it appears minor, based on the official Avid info…you would think they would be shouting about this..l

Are you playing PAL footage on an NTSC monitor or vice versa?

[John Pale]

Yes. Call Avid.
