Hey Dylan,

That makes a lot of sense.

Different encoding programs might be hard to decode ans extract from especially on the frame level.

Thanks for the expert answer. I went ahead and imported all my footage in the higher rez yesterday night.

I still think though that they should have a TC support for generic Uncompressed QT files.

And yes, I liked your idea of importing in the higher rez in the first place and then downrezing from there for the edit.

Thanks a lot for your help and support.

I appreciate it.

Thanks Michael,

But don’t you think that it kinda sucks? Like, think of a documentarian, if he/she has 200 hrs of video, it will be a mess to go uprez/online.

But here is something i did.

I did a Consolidate (also transcode) and it formed smaller master clips. And they load in the source monitor and play. Now avid pulled these smaller mxf’s out of the larger mxf’s already on the drive.

I batch imported some of them at DnxHD175x from the original Uncompressed QT files on the external RAID.

But after the import all I see is Pure black. The clips are of the same duration as the original DnxHD36 clips. But there is no video information, Just black. Not even “media offline”.

Another note, It does not seem to access the external RAID while attempting to “import”.

🙂

Does that give you some clue somewhere?

If not, then I will just

Thanks a lot for the help man.

Cheers

Satish

I think what he meant was that FCP defaults to RGB.

I am sure that you can choose to export in 601/709.

Wow!

That’s a great info Terence. Thanks for the tip.

It’s a relief.

Do these other posts saying that they had a gamma shift in transferring ProRes to DnxHD happen because they imported in 601/709?

I am just curious. My real questions are answered.

Thanks again.
