When did it last work for you? (I have never used that function, but certainly would if it allowed for use of tapeless material.) You could back-rev MC (if the OS allows it) and go back to a version that worked to restore.

[quote user="Salahadeen"]it was captured on 16 mm film, transfered to 29.97 DV tape, and from the tape I turned it into a quicktime file.[/quote] What did you use to capture the file and make the Quicktime? Had you done it in Avid, it should have been 601. [quote user="Salahadeen"]Or, do you think there is a way to conform it to

Here's another thing to try.... After you launch MC and open your project, but BEFORE you open any bin with the clips that has the P2 Media missing , create a NEW bin and re-do your Import P2 > Clips into that bin. Then, select the clips that are offline and Import P2 > Media for those only. You should then be able to open the original bins

If your Quicktime is actual footage shot on a DV camera, it is probably 601. Does it look better when you import as 601?

When you try to install the OS or MC? Did you do the 10.5.5 install?

What is the color space of your source footage? Avid ALWAYS works in 601/709 color space because that is the broadcast standard. If you import a 601 Quicktime with "601" as your input setting, your blacks and whites will stay the same (blacks at 16, whites at 235). If your Quicktime is RGB, and you import with "RGB" as your import

Welcome to the forums. While probably not critical to this particular question, it is helpful to either update your system specs in your profile or include them in your post, so we know what version of the software you are using. (And CPU & OS for other kinds of questions.) Effects and any keyframing, as you discovered, are based on the length of

Or, if you DO need timecode, use MetaCheater to make an ALE of the group of ProRes Quicktimes and batch import from that. Then you will have quicktime. Also, before you do them all, double-check your import settings. You might need to import as RGB (vs. 601) in order to get the color space to look right (and legal!) Test one and view it on a scope before

Avid only provides a PC solution since all Mac Pros come with basic DVD authoring software (iDVD).

You should have no problems. You just have to figure out the math. Hopefully, they shoot at multiples of 25, so the math is easy. :)
