Thanks Mjolnarn, could you please outline in detail your work flow, including settings and codecs used? that way I can try it. Also, I don't have the dvcpro hd codec, can that be downloaded?

I am working on a documentary with hours of HDV footage (1080i 60). While editing on my Avid Media Composer 4.1, the footage looks amazing. I imported from the tapes in HDV, and edited in HDV. However, I have not found a good way to get it off the AMC. Everything I have tried results in either a field issue (I can see the fields) or a weird "ghosting"

I will try these out--never thought uncompressed HD would be harder than SD! And yes, my drives are pretty much 95% full, will do a clean up before continuing. Will update when I try this. If anyone has any other ideas, let me know!

A few weeks ago I edited HD on my MC 3.0 with no problems. Now I am editing an SD project--it is a show reel that mixes a variety of formats. What I did was imported all source material into After Effects, selected the bits I wanted, exported out to ntsc widescreen SD, imported into Avid 30i settings. So far, no problems. However, when I put clips on

Thanks for all the advice, for future reference, which jpg codec? jpeg 2000, jpeg motion a, jpeg motion b and jpeg photo.

It´s that time again. I have to edit my show reel. I have material in PAL and NTSC, SD, HDV, HD, 4x3 and 16x9 and everything in between. Last time I edited the reel it didn´t look so hot, so this time I´m importing all the material into after effects, selecting more or less what I need, resizing it in AFTER EFFECTS so it all is the

A few months ago I found a work flow on the Avid site about how to import xdcam clips into MC 3.0. I cannot find that pdf file (it looks like the site changed a lot) and couldn´t find this information in the tutorials. Please pass this link or link to appropiate tutorial. Basically, I am looking for the clip browser settings and if I need to export

I am using the sony hdr (hdv and mini dv, ntsc). I´ve had it for years and it has been a good camera. I´ll tell you all how this works out--what is frustrating is that 80% of the clips are recaptured without any problems. Also I found a work around for now--instead of selecting all the clips that need to be recaptured I am only recapturing

I just tried the console comand and will see if that works. What is weird is that it will pass through the clips to batch capture, do about half of them, then if I have it batch capture again, it will do another half. Weird! Forgive me for the question, but to manually capture and relink to a master clip, what exactly do I need to do? What are the exact

I am batch capturing material and about 20% of the clips are unable to be batch captured. I looked at old posts and changed the settings as much as possible, but some just won´t be batch captured. This is an already edited project, and I would like to know what to do to force a media relink: ie, is there a way to manually capture the material
