Hmm … they’re 175, but I was reading on another thread about 20:1 vs 2:1 and that XPress Pro doesn’t support everything (sorry for my ignorance, but I’m not 100% sure what those ratios refer to. Compression? Resolution?)
Regarding upgrading (thank you to both Michaels for the advice) that’s an intriguing option, but I’m working on a MacBook here, and I’m reading specs that say Media Composer doesn’t support HD on laptops (also, the Avid store is advertising a 2-week wait for that upgrade, and I’ve got a deliverable in 3. D’oh.)
So, assuming I have to have everything transcoded I want to make sure I transcode into something XPress Pro can read … so any further advice in that direction would be a huge help.
Hey, you guys are really helpful, and I’ve got another (possibly bigger) problem. Let me start a new thread on that one momentarily …
Thanks!
