[Michael Hancock] “I’ve tweeted Gary at Videoguys. Hopefully he’ll respond with the answer. They’re good folks over there – if he gets you the answer, you might consider buying the upgrade from them.”

I thought of that as I did buy the upgrade from them as well as the Sym 6 from FCP crossgrade. I wasn’t sure they would know.

Thanks,
Robert:-)

[Shane Ross] “If you have small clips, and are editing short form things (under 10 min), things might go OK. This is far from optimal…but it will work. Longer H.264 clips choke the Avid, as well as longer projects.”

Yep,

But it is not just Avid and not just the native bit.

H.264, except for AVC Intra, is long gop. Most or all XDCAM using mpeq2 is long gop. Google it if you do not know about long gop.

Editing using a long gop codec increases the chance of having unwanted artifacts. I learned years ago from Philip Hodgetts ranting repeatedly on the Buzz about getting footage into an intraframe codec.

Y’all be cool,
Robert

[Shane Ross] “OH! Hey, look at that!! Sorry. Igonore me. WAYYYYY OFF BASE.

(Thank god for Michael.)”

Thanks Gents,

Shane you have helped plenty of folks so one wrong ain’t too bad. Heck, I show my bad taste and even read your website;)

Hopefully someone will chime in the the ver that ships with 6.5 as the discount is big and ends tomorrow midnight.

[Sal Fabbri] “Here’s my current workflow:”

Thanks for this. That really helped on a day where many things were not going well with my vidcast project and Symphony 6. The Avid aaf did not work in PE 3.1.1, it would seem PE did not like the AVC Intra 100 mxf. Ended up using a ProRes HQ vid with cam audio and the separately recorded wav in your workflow and now I have finally have a beginning edit.

Have a good whatever,
Robert:-)

I have downloaded some of them twice and still cannot open any of them in anything.

I am on a Mac and am IT knowlegeable. I am doing save as and waiting for the download to finish.

Anybody try these lately?

Thanks,
Robert

Interesting.

I would make a copy of the FCP (Studio right?) project and in the copy remove any transitions, titles, and/or effects. Export that and see what happens.

Also, CS5 unfortunately is old in computer years. Have you tried the CS6 trial(apply all the updates) to see if it can import the XML? I have tried a few in 5.5 and 6 (maybe in 5) and don’t think I have had an issue but mine are simple and I don’t use h.264 natively in FCP.

Good Luck,
Robert
PS: Can Premiere import one of the QuickTime deliverables?

[Robert Ober]

My Bad, It’s Avid that has to have their own plugins for some formats. I suppose my brain is too weak to go back and forth.

Anyway, what is the container? Are they h.264 in a .mov?

Robert

[Robert Ober]

You get an answer for this?

[Robert Ober]

Your Premiere is also on a Mac? Have all the codec/whatever plugins installed in Premiere? If you remove transitions and effects does it import?

If you transcode the project to ProRes and then export will Premiere import it ok? Of course Premiere might be slow with ProRes.

I am thinking you have a codec or video format that Premiere does not understand.

Good Luck,
Robert
