I have a Sony AX-100 4K vidoe cam recording at XAVC S 4K. I cannot import the video files into a 1080 P project. I then tried to create a 4K project and again the files would not import. When drag and drop or point to the file using the import panel nothing happens. Should MC be able to import and convert... (read more)

Hello there, I'm looking for a new laptop for editing (mostly documentary, 4K ProRes max.) and I'm curious if there are any experiences with the new MacBook Pro 14' (16GB mem, 8-core CPU, 14-core GPU) with M1 Pro so far? It should be supported since the last update in December — is... (read more)

[quote user="jef"] Long time for a reply. Sorry. [/quote] No problem Jef. [quote user="jef"] Does this sequence have only 1 codec? If so, then you could do a Same As Source export and get what you want. But do not do that if you have ANY other codec as this can cause issues as it... (read more)

[quote user="jef"] If you are trying to export to satisfy a deliverable, it might be useful to share the deliverable specs here so we can see if there is a clue that is being missed. [/quote] Actually, no. The idea is to export in the original codec to minimize conversion time and quality degradation... (read more)

[quote user="jef"] My first guess (and only a guess) is that XDCam is not valid for 4k????? [/quote] If true, that would be a (bad) joke from Avid! [quote user="jef"] Second guess / question: What happens when you select the Video Compression tab currently showing DNxHR 444 in your... (read more)

Hello! I’m working on a 4K project shot on XAVC-I. I’m making the rough cut with DNxHR LB proxies and relinking back to the original camera files for export. However, when I select the " Sony XDCAM " option, in the export settings window, it disappears for a brief moment and when... (read more)

Hey everyone, I have 2 questions that are written below, but first here is some context for you. I have 4k footage shot on a Z-cam that I linked and transcoded in AVID through Media Reactor, but linking it left a watermark on all of the footage as it's a free demo of Media Reactor. I want to edit... (read more)

Has anyone been experiencing this issue with Macs? macOS is known to handle high DPI scaling pretty well but it looks like Avid doesn't take advantage of that. I'm using Avid on a Mac with Catalina installed. I have two 4K monitors and have the scaling set to 2560x1440. The text across Media... (read more)

Thanks Pat! Presuming the project will be 16:9 for a UHD delivery (this hasn't been determined yet by the producer, we haven't created an Avid project yet), the plan was to letterbox and frameflex it (center cropped). – Would the editor be able to use the parts of the image not visible...

I have spent a full half-day finding a way around a problem enountered when finishing a project for delivery, but really Avid MC should "just work"! Does anyone know a solution to this? This is what happened in the run up to the problem... In an HD 25fps project, transcoded 50fps and 25fps... (read more)
