It’s a H264 MP4, i think everything (but obviously Avid) can play this, including windows media player.

Okay, this is working:

1. Create a new premiere project with a resolution that is supported in DNxHD (960×720)
2. Import 800×600 MP4 into premiere project and render as 960×720 to H264 MP4
3. Use ffmpeg to convert to DNxHD
4. Link file in Avid and use FrameFlex to crop to 800×600

…i am not totally happy with the workflow. I’ll have to treat a number of files, maybe I’ll just stick to Premiere. However, happy to hear suggestions to get this a little more efficient.

Thanks again,

Maks

I’ve tried choosing Quicktime as pluging for linking with the same result. The linked video is just green. The same with the import function. The video appears also completely green when imported.

Thanks, I’ve tried to link to the MP4 file instead of importing, but Media composer only shows a green screen and not the actual video. I’ve used Premiere before, there you only drag and drop the video from explorer to time line and it’s working fine. So, I think the file should be okay.

“Transcode selection the option to bake in frameflex. Use the new DNxHR resolution” I don’t understand what you mean here, can you explain?

Thanks for your reply, Shane.

i am using version 8. It’s good to know, that i can use a custom resolution. But getting back to my original question, how do I import 800×600 footage?

best regards,

Maks
