I have a job where the 80% of the footage has been shot on a domestic camcorder at 29.97 1440 x 1080 The client wants to enter it to festivals so potentially I need to convert it all to 24p. Would it be best to cut at native rate and then convert later or convert first? (read more)

Hi Folks, I've got some iPhone UHD footage (3840x2160 at 25fps). I have some requirements/choices here: 1. Create a UHD master. 2. Create a HD master. 3. Use FrameFlex to re-frame and create a HD master. Can I do all of this through creating a single project or do I require separate projects? I was... (read more)

Hello All! I've found old articles about this but nothing current.

Hey all- Just curious what some of your compression worfklows are now that Sorenson Squeeze is out of the picture. Our finishing workflow used to be outputting a Quicktime Reference file, import the QTREF into Sorenson, assign a preset, "squeeze", and then continue working within AVID on another... (read more)

Any EVA1 users out there? We do a lot of work with the EVA1 and Avid. We film in 10bit 4:22 150 or 400 bit, 24p. To do this we have to film in LongGOP. Avid doesn't export LongGOP natively, or so that's what we've experienced, so we have to force the film output in QT Movie, Custom, Avid... (read more)

To start, I apologise if this is in the wrong forum, but I am struggling to find an easy workflow for my friend's short film that I have agreed to edit. We shot it on the Sony FS7 (4096x2160) and the Sony A7S Mkii (3840x2160) and recorded with a Zoom F4 kit. So as of now we have separate 4k footage... (read more)

Hi, does anybody know where to set an prefered AMA plug in for the source browser? On every new path you navigate, source browser is processing the MXF files of SONY cameras with the AVID MSP_MXF plugin instead of the XAVC_XDCAM Nablet plugin.

Hey there, pros. I first learned Avid on ExpressDV and got very accustomed to using the "S" hotkey to advance to the next edit & the "A" hotkey to move to the previous edit. End of story. I've been on Media Composer since version 5 and am now working on 8.9. One of the minor... (read more)
