[Michael Phillips] “I believe by opening each motion adapter and changing in there.
“

He’s correct, as usual. Did this recently.

There’s a new BCC 8.2 (free update) as well.
Installed both. Works fine with MC7. I don’t have the Symphony option, but I can’t see how it would make any difference.

Continue using “ordered with current format”. That’s the correct way. Look at the link I posted that explains it. If you set the field order the way you are doing, it does the opposite of what you are expecting…though it may not make a visual difference if your source is progressive. Have not tested.

In Squeeze, you need to change the encoder from MainConcept, which does not support interlaced video, so it always deinterlaces.

Green will play back in real time for editing..

When you are done, you need to collapse the multiclips and the render bar will go away.

You do not have to render.

“The project consists entirely of images which were imported with “upper field first” selected. ”

This is your problem. The setting is for fixing problems with field order. If you tell it upper it will change it to lower. You want to set it to “Ordered For Current Format”. Then it will respect your project setting.

That being said, if this is for broadcast, I would not export h264 straight from Avid. Often you will get gamma shifts due to QuickTime issues.

I would export a Same as Source QuickTime and bring that into Squeeze. Not in front of a system right now, but once you choose a Preset,, you may need to double click it and check the field order setting to make sure it’s not deinterlacing. If you choose a web preset, it probably will be set for deinterlacing.

It can potentially cause issues. The Assistant is right. Going from v5.x to v6.x brought some big changes both in UI and under the hood.

You can try it. You might get lucky, but often its the source of unstable behavior. Why risk it…it takes 10 minutes to rebuild your setting. Will save you lots of grief in the long run.

It’s best to create new settings for each major release. Some people do it for every release..even minor point releases.

I guess it begs the question, why after all this time, is this feature only in film projects?
Would seem to be useful in any double system sound scenario.

[Timothy Miller] “some of them not supported by MC 6.5 for direct import.
“
What formats might these be?

Pretty much anything that can be thrown at you can be ingested by AMA linking and transcoding to Avid DNX HD. That will usually allow you to avoid any gamma issues introduced by QuickTime player or third party software.

Someone more clever than me might figure out a way to do this nicely in the dragging int the timeline only, but I would just trim off the last two seconds of the clip and align it. don’t pay attention to the content. Match frame to bring it up in the source monitor and set a mark for where I want it to start or end…then mark clip on V2 and overwrite it. Quicker than it sounds.

Copy the installer from the disk image you downloaded to your desktop. Unmount the disk image.

I had the same problem. Worked fine after copying to the desktop.

It’s a bug. Avid is aware of it, but doesn’t know what causes it yet. Doesn’t happen to everyone.
