No, you can use it in any program. I use it a lot with Premiere and AE.

You can download the DNxHD codec for free from the Avid site.

Did you set the “highlight tone priority” and “auto lightning optimizer” to off? In some cases they produce strange artifacts – at least on my T2i and the 7D.

My “first encounter” with MkII footage was before the update, so – as you wrote – very painful!
Fortunately that issue is out of the way right now with (almost) all the DSLRs being able to shoot PAL and 24p.You will laugh, but although I’ve been living my 30+ years in Munich, I’ve never been to the Hofbräu Haus… But, yes, I do own a lederhos’n – even though I just wear it (if at all) on Oktoberfest 😉
All the best!

Thanks Bob! I was just curious! When I was “overrun” with 5D MkII footage about a year ago, I did actually curse a lot. H.264 in 30fps! in a PAL country! Not cool 😉
Had to edit a 20min. short on an old Windows PC with CS3 instead of AVID which I prefer. It was a pain! I swore to myself: NEVER EVER AGAIN DSLR!
Well… I bought a T2i myself, my working partner a 7D 🙂 and on some projects I still work with Premiere CS3 but on a faster machine.Did so much testing and transcoding into various formats, but always avoided (I actually don’t know why) uncompressed AVI. I ended up, using DNxHD, which I find, is a very good and stable solution. So I was curious, what the benefits are with uncompressed AVI.
Thanks for your input especially concerning BluRays!
Cheers to Australia! Hope to be able to get there some day. I’ll bring beer 😉
All the best! -
Bob,
Is there an advantage in your method compared to transcoding the files with – say – MPEG Streamclip? The only improvement I see, is in not having to install another codec. But maybe I missed something.
I find Premiere (at least in the 32bit CS3 Version) a whole lot slower. And the batch list of MPEG Streamclip is a great tool, if you have to transcode a couple of clips.

I could spot a brightness change on the wall in the back. I would assume it’s the changing brightness from outside the window.
But that should be on the footage of the PWM as well… So, indeed very strange… -
I’m working with AVID’s DNxHD codec quite a time. A lot of people say, that it is sort of THE Prores equivalent. Since I work only on windows, I can’t confirm that. But it is definitly a very good codec. And it’s free.
Haven’t tried Cineform yet, but from what I read (especially here on CC), it is a great codec as well.HTH

Interesting list of productions, LW was used on:
https://www.lightworksbeta.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107&Itemid=260But some guys had quite horrible experiences after installation (Windows not starting etc…). So, I guess I maybe will wait until the next version…
Well, it’s a Beta… -
Thank you Eric!
This was exactly the information, I was looking for! Gives me the last missing piece of the puzzle!
Combining Brians answer (“same mix”) and yours (“different line-levels”) AND the the info on the zoom website (“…this jack accepts stereo line-level inputs to be used in capturing audio from cassette decks, record players and other analog sources…”), I was able to get things working!You make me a happy man! Thanks for your contributions! Learned a lot!
