Hey Michael,

Cool, thank you. I assume making 2.39:1 proxies would work, but I’m not sure how much that is going to affect my workflow (weight of files, etc…) so I’m a bit reluctant to do it (I’m not a trained editor, I’m a director who loves to edit but my technical knowledge is limited).

Thanks!

Hello Michael,

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer!

Well, unfortunately the footage is indeed 1080p. Because of a very tight deadline I am editing as the shoot is still going on, shooting with 2 cameras we thought it would be safer to create 1080p proxies to make the whole process easier (we’re using the editing booth to watch dailies… it’s a bit of a mess!). DaVinci has an output scaling that works quite well, but unfortunately I don’t really have time to go back and forth (I sync on Avid). And the problem with VLC is that it crashes a lot when using the Crop 2.39:1 feature… I just wish Avid had an output scaling like DaVinci does, that would be ideal…

Thanks again, and let me know if you think of anything else!

Hello there,

Thank you so much for your quick responses! I didn’t think of copying the mxf straight into the Avid folder, I will see if that solves the problem. Thanks so much!
