https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/media/6677767/DaVinci_Resolve_Mac_Configuration_Guide_Sept_2013.pdfMost Resolve releases have demanded a decent amount of RAM to run. Although, you may just try and download version 10 and see if it opens on your computer. I suspect it might, but it won’t run very smoothly.

Probably not. Resolve 10 needs at least 8GB of RAM to run on a system and you don’t have much RAM on that machine and the realtime playback would be virtually not existent for any type of media even if you did get something on there.
If you want to run Resolve on a laptop I’d recommend a MacBook Pro. The new Air could probably run the current version, but I’d doubt an Air would holdup running Resolve as long as a Pro over the 3-5 year life of the machine.
Time for you to go shopping! 🙂

Just disable the video option. M4V is a MPEG-4 file with both audio and video. M4A is a MPEG-4 file with only audio, no video. So in your AME settings just uncheck the export video box and you’re good to go.

Yes, AME can do frame rate conversions. You may have to adjust settings to get your desired look, but Media Encoder should get the job done.
Other products that can do it: Apple Compressor, Apple Cinema Tools, Sorenson Squeeze, Telestream Episode.

Sorry Dustin, my bad. You can only drag and drop sequences into AME from PPro.
So still using PPro depending on how you need the clips you can select 1 (or all), right click and choose “New Sequence From Clip.” That will make a sequence with the exact settings of that file (resolution, frame rate, etc.). Then you can drag and drop that sequence into AME and fire off what format(s) you need.
1 at a time is a pain. But you can select multiple files and chose “new sequence from clip” and that will lay all of those out on the same sequence timeline back to back.

Sounds like your “Aspect” is off. I would double check those for consistency. Sounds like you’re moving from a rectangular pixel aspect ratio to a square pixel aspect ratio.
Within the Export Settings dialog box you can also have AME scale the source slightly to get rid of those lines if you are changing PAR’s. Look just above where the preview video is rendered and you’ll see a Source Scaling option.

Bring them all in to PPro. Right click on them and choose “Modify–>Interpret Footage…” Chose the frame rate you want the footage to assume, in your case 23.976.
If you plan on editing in PPro you’re done. Edit away. If you need to export those out then use AME and drag and drop them into AME.

They call these people “interns” or “production assistants”! 😀

[Dan Coffey] ” Does anyone know if this is possible with the 5Diii and how? “
As long as you keep your 5DIII awake it will send its signal out HDMI, thereby allowing for longer than 30 minute record times. So every 25 minutes just make sure to press the record start/stop button to maintain the 5D’s awake status and continue to record via HDMI.
