Hi Shane,
This is for commercial post, so it’s important that the look is as close to the offline as possible. Out of Final Cut this isn’t a problem. I’d like to get as close to the look we have in the offline as possible.

The usual workflow is Same as Source, then into Episode.
I used to be a Sorenson user, and I found no difference with Sorenson. It’s still dark if it’s coming from same as source, but as a QT Ref it obviously made a difference. We don’t have Sorenson here because these are old licenses that have been upgraded several times (dongles,) so I don’t think we get Squeeze.

I’ve got Squeeze. Can compressor do some things Squeeze doesn’t?
I do notice it’s much more common out in the field with FCP places.

Why doesn’t AVID include pro res?
-
I always found it weird as well. I’ll probably have to follow what some others have done and waste precious space on my SSD with FCP or something like that.
-
I’ve tried that before. You get a message saying “Pro Apps QT codecs can’t be installed…No qualifying copies of FCP, Motion or Compressor were found.”
I abbreviated but yeah, you need apple software.

What I’ve never been clear on is that I don’t have APR despite being on a mac. I’ve heard a lot of people download a trial version of compressor or FCPx to get them.
I don’t have Sorenson Pro, otherwise I could just make the dailies there. I do have a thunderbolt raid, so the other option is just cutting it natively which I don’t normally do.
I agree it would be ideal to keep the same flavor throughout. Will that be possible if I just get some apple software with the pro res codecs?
-
The single best thing you can do for AVID I feel is the SSD. At least for my offline work, it’s the single thing I’ve seen make the most difference. But, I don’t online, I don’t do heavy effects.
-
Going same as source than out through squeeze would actually be a lot faster than doing it out of avid.

Do you ever inadvertently slip something? If the clip is selected in your timeline and you hit “,/<" or "./>” you could be nudging it.
