Dino: as I mentioned in my post,I’m a file “newbie.” I’m not that well-informed about file structures myself.
Which is why i post here;everyone on this site is an expert in their field.I’m a very good editor;and I am trying to learn what I can from the experts about file exports…the trial and error hasn’t helped much.
One of my questions in my post was:
<> I think that is pretty direct,and I hope I can get some help here. Michael’s been helpful,already,actually.
If I phrased the other questions in my post incorrectly,it’s because of my lack of knowledge in the area.
I can tell you that yes,I posted an H264 file export from an HD Avid sequence and the chroma was washed out and the black levels seemed crushed….when compared to the actual Sequence.
Additionally,an AAf export I made from an Avid sequence did not import properly in my receiver’s-end FCP system.
Does that make more sense?
I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
thanks
Rob

NOt at all…your answers on here are ALWAYS chock full-o-information that’s understandable, and I sure as heck have appreciated your ingsight. YOu just explained in a short P or two what I’ve been searching to understand for months.
Thanks.
I’ll look into those codecs,and hopefully will understand mroe of HOW they work with more research

Michael: thanks for the link.
Again,with the understanding that I’m an advanced file-structure novice, will a file from windows-Avid as a DNX HD 145 be able to play in a MAc system? What I’m at a loss for understanding is HOW it will play.
Sorry if I was being obtuse.

Thanks so much again for your knowledge.

Derrick: I dont have a lot of time to answer this right now,but wanted you to know that we’re running Symphony Nitris,and find that Spectra matte (SP?), found in AVid under “Key” in the effects palette, works just fine and is quite intuitive.
