I’m a little confused as to why you would export a 1920×1080 file as ‘NTSC.’ Wouldn’t you simply export a 1920×1080 file? If you are changing the pixel dimensions from an HD square pixel video to a rectangular NTSC file like 720×486, that may account for the error. Also HDV, DVCPRO HD, etc is rectangular.
What is the source file type, and what do you want to get at the end.
The only different in HD from PAL and NTSC is the frame rate.
Also, 864 X 486 is the square pixel equivalent for widescreen NTSC, if that helps.

On the render tab, right before you output, there’s a box that you can select full range data or broadcast levels. No need to add a LUT, which I don’t think would really help anyway.

Perfect thank you.

I’d contact Blackmagic directly just to be sure. Their help center usually gets back to you pretty quickly.

Just this one project, but it would be nice to have this available for the future. I’m assuming that I would do a 1/2 res proxy of the video, especially because my monitor is 1920×1080, correct?
I would do the cubix for sure, but as we’re not doing that much 4k work it’s not economical.

Any word on new Mac and PC configurations? They are so out-dated right now.

I’m also looking at some H264s made with a Nikon, and when I link to the AMA file, they all come in starting on 00:00:00:01, not 00:00:00:00, which they should be as they don’t have time code, and therefore I get the same error when I try to transcode.

Michael,
I looked at the file in Quicktime 7. Looking at the Timecode, it’s the same TC as the A1 track in the Avid, not the V1 track. Stranger still, I go to the end of the clip, and find that the last 2 frames are identical in picture and timecode.
If I relink to AMA file in Avid, it will fix the timecode appropriately, but add one black frame at the very beginning of each clip that has this problem. But I first have to link to the AMA file, then relink to it.
Not all the files are like this, by the way, just some.

I agree with you Bouke, there should be only one TC track. But when I AMA the audio in, I see V1 with a TC number and then A1 with the TC number 1 frame off.
No, it’s not out of sync when I play it back in Quicktime 7.6.6.

Thanks for your response Michael.
I didn’t set it back to YUV from RGB, but I just reset Avid and it made the options come back. Strange little bug.
I originally set the project to RGB because I’m working with canon files. Is this incorrect?
