I'd agree that AMA is far from ideal for large projects and would strongly advise against it. But rather than transcoding to DNxHD why not just consolidate to XDCam 50? Avid works very nicely with XDCam 50 footage and consolidating to Avid mxf files will give you good solid performance and should be faster than transcoding as well as not inflating

Sounds like somebody has manually changed the folder structure and copied a second card's Clips folder into the first card's folder renaming Clips001 to Clips002. A definite No No You will have to create a new CONTENTS folder, move Clips002 into that, and rename it back to Clips001. As you can't have two folders of the same name at the same

I suspect this is because your H264 files are not RGB, but YCbCr The different architectures of different software packages could give you different results. If you lower the incoming YCbCr level then transform that to RGB you will get what's happening in Avid (do not modify levels), Resolve and AE. But if you transform to RGB then lower the level

What format are the images? I ask because a colleague mentioned yesterday that 6.5.2 pan and zoom seems to support a narrower range of formats. regards Brian

Answer 1 : Probably - 4GB is the minimum requirement and may be sufficient for what you want to do. Full Mac qualified systems list can be found here Answer 2 : If you are saying that you have had a tape captured via HD-SDI to Avid media and you have been given the Avid bin and media which is what I think you're saying then it should just be a case

Yes You can't use QT Ref with a long GOP resolution like XDCam. I don't believe you'll see any significant quality loss by mixing down to what is after all a much higher bitrate codec like DNxHD 185 or 175. Got to be better than a white screen? regards Brian

What resolution did you do your video mixdown to? You can't use QT Ref with a long GOP resolution like XDCam - would strongly suggest mixing down to DNxHD at the highest bitrate you can. Or flip the format to standard def and mixdown to something like 1:1 or 2:1 before exporting the QT Ref. regards Brian

[quote user="ShelleyBoPeep"]In Final Cut I know you can set the duration of imported stills to .04 (400th's of a second I think...does anyone know how many frames this is?) [/quote] If you're working in 25 frames per second then a frame is 1/25th of a second or 40 milliseconds which is 4/100s of a second. Other frame rates will give
