Its for a streaming network.

Here are the stats for the PRO RES file audio

SD Audio
Channel 1: Left Audio (Dolby ProLogic matrixed if needed/Monaural – in phase)
Channel 2: Right Audio (Dolby ProLogic matrixed if needed/Monaual – in phase)
Channel 3: SAP/or Mono Mix of Channels 1 & 2/or DVS if in lieu of SAP (NO MUSIC, NO MOS)
Channel 4: DVS (if delivered in addition to SAP) or Mono Mix of Channels 1 & 2 (NO EFX, NO MOS)

So is there anyway to do this on a PC? A third party software like MIRAISON or ClipTOOLZConvert? Really don’t want to send this to a lab. It is for several features and would not be worth the expense.

Chris,

thanks i will give it a shot. I am currently doing a mirror of the drive to a brand new drive. Hopefully that will work, but i will try your suggestion. Thanks

Someone on the AVID forum website recommended that i OUTPUT the entire sequence directly onto a p2 card. I would have to do this several times since the cards only hold 32gb. Then take the media from the p2 cards and run it through RAYLIGHT MXFX to remove the pulldown and then i would have the entire feature at 1080/23.98 without any digital artifacts.

I guess it’s worth a try.

Yes, no way to do it after the fact though? Again, the lab in Los Angeles does not wish to use Snell & Wilcox or a Teranex. They have had some issues of digital artifacts when going from 1080i to 1080/23.98p. No way to restructure the Avid workflow by removing the audio and Video MXF files out of AVID MEDIA FILES/MXF/1 and putting the material into a CONTENT folder and using RAYLIGHT MXFX for a pulldown removal? Then re-editing the entire feature with a EDL from the project from 1080i/60?

I know i should have done pulldown removal this before the edit. Will do in the future. Is there no way to resolve this problem with NOT using Teranex etc. Can MXF files from a AVID MEDIAFILES/MXF/1 folder be reinputed in a “pseudo” CONTENT folder for a pulldown removal?

Thanx a ton,

Yeah 1080i 29.97 is set on both.

It may simply be an engineer situation (deck not set up, AJA etc.)

All of your other notes were extremely helpful. I will check with the editor regarding that their system has the same codecs etc.

Have a great weekend,
🙂

Hmmmmmmmm,

thanx again for the reponse,

I actually have outputed this entire film (feature) before (last year) on HDCAM from my AVID using HD monitor with no problems.

This particular project is a 3 minute clip from the same orginal film (the original files from the original external hard drive). I am using a dub house, simply because i don’t want to pay the money to rent a deck, for a 3 minute clip.

So the original footage is fine. the original edit (entire feature on AVID) is fine. Why the problem transferring to FCP and outputting to tape? Why the judder? Do you find when looking at footage on a FCP computer monitor that there is a great degree of motion difference between your computer and a HD Monitor? As a side note, this project took place toward the end of the day at the duplication house and the entire staff was not there. The editor himself is not sure what the problem is? Wondering if you or anyone has experienced a great shift of the images on FCP computer monitors and HD monitors? Thanks for the heads up on AJA as well 🙂 Been calling it AHA all day long – thought that Swedish band broke up a long time ago.

Thank you so much for the quick reponse. It is greatly appreciated. 🙂

Pulldown was not removed. Nor do i actually want it to be. It is captured at 23.97 recorded at 1080i/29.97. The Panasonic Camera captures 23.97 and records 29.97 on Firestore. The Firestore then adds frames and interlaces them, so the 24p effect is smooth. (TV show such as “hills” is captured, recoreded and edited in same mannerer). The entire piece should be kept at 29.97. I have edited on AVID and outputed to tape lay it down at 1080i/29.97 HD with no judder in the past. (same camera, same style edit)

The problems seems to be not a frame rate issue from AVID to FCP or any type of pulldown issue. The problem is from the FCP to actual tape. Unfortunetly, I am no longer at the Dub house. I was thinking it may be a 1080p (setting on the deck) or an issue with AHA.

not sure,
Zack
