Avid DnxHD codec crashing

Everytime I try to export any clips using Avid DnxHD codec, Compressor crashes.
Anyone have similar issues?

That is correct...Avid DnxHD is an additionally installed Codec, via Avid QuickTime Codecs LE 2.3.2
It was supported in Compressor 3.5.... The issue here is that it is No longer working under Compressor 4.0
...Anyone?

Black jagged edges appear on footage with Avid DNxHD codec

Hello,
Currently I'm editing some GoPro footage from my vacation, and I'm editing this video in Premiere and After Effects.
When I was done editing in Premiere and exported the video as a Quicktime movie with the Avid DNxHD codec, I brought it in to After Effects.
The project in After Effects is a 16 bpc since I have to dynamically stretch the footage to make it fit in a 1080p comp (doesn't have to do with this, but the point is, I have to edit in 16 bpc in order to stretch my footage). Now the problem is, I get weird black blocks around my clipped highlights, and this only happens in 16 or 32 bpc.
Here's a screen shot I took from it:

I don't know a lot about codecs and I have no idea how to solve this, so my question is: How do I get rid of these black blocks while still maintaining this 16 bits per channel?
It would be great if anyone could give me the answer .
Jeroen

I just came up with a solution myself. In Premiere, change in the DNxHD codec settings from ''709'' to ''RGB''.
When you bring it into AE again, it won't have the black edges anymore.
However, I don't really know what this does to the quality of the video, but there's not a noticable difference.

Power PC G5 Unable to Play .MOV File with Avid DNxHD Codec

Our client is sending us .mov Quicktimes with Avid DNxHD Codec.
It wouldn't play on our Macbook Pros, but no problem, I downloaded the codec and it ran fine afterwards.
Not having the same luck with our Power Mac G5 Workstation.
It runs on Mac OS Leopard 10.5.8.
Downloaded the codec for Leopard from this link:
http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=263545
Nothing changed.
I play the file and all I see is black as the timeline runs.
How should I fix this issue?

The Power Mac G5 does not have an Intel Processor like the newer macs do. Could that be root of issue?
It is a definite possibility. The link you posted indicated the Mac v2.1 component was compatible with OS 10.5.5 and later which would normally imply QT 7 with or without Intel CPU. However, the editing software applications do seem to restrict their use to "Intel only" Mac systems. For instance, Pro Tools v8.3 and higher are listed as "Intel Only" software. Did try the v2.01 QT codec component or look for anything older?

Use Compressor to export to AVID DNXHD CODEC

Hey all,
I posted this question at the CreativeCow FCP forum - and than I thought maybe its a COMPRESSOR Forum question - so here it is:
I have installed AVID CODEC PACK LE
Currently I use FCP to export to DNXHD and its working OK (but slow).
I wanted to know if it is possible for me to use COMPRESSOR to export to AVID DNXHD CODEC.
I need it because a lot of times I need to export to this codec (for AVID System that does the Promos)
And I don't want to use FCP for that because I want to keep editing While I'm converting.
If Compressor can't export to DNXHD can I use QUICKTIME TO EXPORT TO DNX HD?
Thanks!

Create a new Quicktime Movie in Compressor. Open the Inspector window and click on the settings button next to "Video." Then click on the Compression Type pulldown menu and scroll up to the Avid section and choose "Avid DNxHD."
I've included a screen grab of what this looks like. http://www.box.net/shared/hzblfnsuu6

AECC2014 (Mac)を使ってQT(Avid DNxHD Codec)を読み込み.Mochaに送ると画面が真っ黒になって見れない

AECC2014 (Mac OS10.9.4)を使ってるのですがQT(Avid DNxHD Codec)のものを読み込み、
Mocha CCでトラックしてMochaに送ると画面が真っ黒になって見れない状況です。
同じ事をWindows版でやってみた場合問題無しです。
ご教授の程お願いします。

返信ありがとうございます。
Win環境とMac環境でインストールしたDNxHD Codecのバージョンは違ったりしますか?
に関してですがWin,MacでDNxHD Codecバージョンが違いました。
WindowsがAvid Codecs LE V.2.3.4
MacがAvid Codecs LE V.2.3.7でした。
試しにMacのAvid Codecs LE V.2.3.7からV.2.3.2をバージョンを落としたものをインストールしたところMochaでは正常に表示されることがわかりました。
逆に最新のAvid Codecs LEも入れたりしてみたのですが全く表示されませんでした。
Avidも同機にインストールしているのでそちらの挙動は試せてませんがとりあえずバージョンを上げすぎると表示されなくなるようです。
これってAvid社の問題ですよね。

How do I get the Avid DNxHD codec as a compression option in my output settings?

Hi. When I was using a previous version of After Effects, I had several Avid DNxHD codec options listed here:
- Render Queue
    - Output Module
        - Format Options
             - Compression type
Now using CS4, and I can't find any DNxHD codecs to use for exporting compositions as Quicktimes.
Avid website has free download, but I don't know how to get it to work within CS4. Any suggestions please?

Here's what shows up:
And the same thing with Premiere Pro CS6. Also I've checked QT's system folder, and there are some files with "Avid" in their names and I've checked "Enable encoding using legacy codecs" box in QuickTime settings.

Media Encoder CS6 Avid DNxHD video codec settings do not update in video settings tab

I want to encode a file to Avid DNxHD, but I am unable to change the resolution in the codec settings. I am choosing Avid DNxHD codec within the video codec tab, then clicking on codec settings and choosing a resolution from the resolutions pulldown menu. It will let me choose different resolutions from that menu, but after I hit okay, it has no effect on changing the video settings the way it's supposed to. For instance, if I try to encode a file that is 1280x720 with a source frame rate of 23.98, and I choose 1080i/59.94 DNxHD 145 8-bit, the frame size and frame rate does not change in the video settings tab. I am running Media Encoder CS6.0.2 on a Mac with OS 10.8.4. I am using Avid quicktime codecs v.2.3.7, because my system is running Avid Symphony 6.0.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No one ever responded unfortunately and I never figured out a work around.
In Media Encoder CC there is a system preset for DNxHD MXF which I've used
to yield Avid files. The weird thing is that the CC version does the exact
same thing as the CS6 if you choose quicktime, DNxHD codec, and try to
change the codec settings. None of the settings update. If you find out
anything more about this I'd appreciate getting an update. Thanks!

Avid DNxHD not working with Color?

QT HD Avid DNxHD Codec working with FCP but not with Color ? Help

I will not contest the workability of AVID. I will express skepticism about the welcome an AVID codec might receive on a Mac platform, and less so on a platform/codec-specific app like COLOR.
I understand that Automatic Duck's "Use existing media" now works better with at least DV material for importing OMF into FCP. That's probably a big thing considering all the various quirks that have to be bridged. We know for sure that only a select few formats are welcome for import to COLOR, and even fewer for export. Heck, it goes berserk if you let a tif or jpg slip by. It doesn't even like the LiveType and Motion decompressor exports so much, so although it might work in FCP is NO guarantee at all that the media will be greeted warmly elsewhere.

Avid DNxHD 145 to H.264 800kbps...weird red/bad video

Hey all,
I'm reading people have successfully used compressor on their Avid files. What am I doing wrong?
My same as source file format is: AVID DNxHD Codec, 1280x720 at 59.94fps.
I'm using compressor for the TCburn and watermark features.
Any suggestions?
-Tom

BenB .. mind if I bud in... For years I've been using Compressor to handle Avid native files, no problems, until now. When I export DNXHD120 native files I can process as I have been doing with SD media since 2001. But when I add a WATERMARK in Compressor, either png, tiff, jpg or pct, the final file has crushed whites with a blue overlay and it's a freeze frame ! I've tried all variations but no luck. Now I'm adding the watermark at the Avid level.
thanks for your thoughts.

Avid DNxHD crashes FCP

I have recently been editing a sequence in Avid's DNxHD codec on FCP 6.0.4 and am having some render issues. FCP will only render for about 15 seconds or so before crashing, so I have been babysitting every render by hitting "cancel" every 15 seconds, and hitting "render" again. Loads of fun. Then, FCP will not export to Quicktime without crashing. I have to use Quicktime conversion and reapply the same settings which, unfortunately recompresses the whole thing again. Still, the resulting Quicktime looks beautiful and so far, is the only HD codec that our machines can play back in realtime, so I would love to keep using it. One issue of lesser importance is that the exported Quicktime is slightly brighter than it was in FCP. Any input from cross-platform users, codec tweakheads, FCP geniuses or Avid gurus would be much appreciated.
Cheers!

What is your source footage comprised of? Is it also DNxHD or are you using that only as the intermediate and mastering codec.
You might find it a better workflow to edit using ProRes422 as your intermediate ... this is in many ways Apple's version of the DNxHD codec and is certainly going to be much more stable / better supported than using Avid's codec as such . That should alleviate your interm render issues at least, and then you can of course still master out to DNxHD if need be.

Avid's DNxHD codec & FCPX: A worthy marriage?

Avid's DnxHD codec: Does it work with FCPX? Is it superior? With it can one import, render and export or is the use limited?

I've got these two in there-is there a conflict with Perian and Mavericks that you know of? Thanks

Big black marks after rendering DNxHD Codec after using some effects, using Eos Mark III footage on FCP7

Dear All,
I hope you can help me. Working on an IMac with FCP 7. It's the first time that I am using footage shot with Canon EOS Mark III. I did not expect this to be such a problem as it was almost impossible to edit with the footage, as I kept on getting the beach ball and then it would crash. Finally fixed the problem by downloading the DnxHD Codec and was able to do a rough edit on a compressed timeline to make the job faster and show a rough cut to the client.
Now I am trying to cut an HD version, where I'm using the same footage with matched timeline settings and when I don't do anything and render it, it looks fine. The minute I use an effect (e.g colour correction or a simple crop) and render, I literally get big black blotches or marks all over the image. Any advise on where I should look to fix the problem?
Many thanks!
Amanda

Convert the footage to ProRes LT before editing.
Your camera shoots H.264 and Final Cut Pro does not like that one bit.
You can use FCP's Log & Transfer function to do this (you might need to install a Canon Plug-in first) or you can do the conversion in Compressor.

Any way to export a ProRes422HQ QT movie or Avid DNXHD QT movie in AME, Premiere or AE CS6 ?

I have to provide to my distributor either a ProRes422HQ QT movie or Avid DNXHD QT movie.
I have AME, Premiere and AE CS6, any of them able to export one of these ? Maybe with a pluggin or something ?
Thank you.

Yes, here is how to do it with Premiere CS6. I use Windows so I can show you how to do it for Avid DNxHD, if you want to do ProRes you'll just have to switch the codec on the export. First to export in DNxHD you will need to download the codec from Avid (free) and run the installer.
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/download/en423319
Once the codec is installed go into premiere, do everything you need to do until you are ready to export then go to File>Export>Media like normal and select Quicktime as the format
Then on the Video Tab the first option dropdown the video codec menu and you will have all your Avid codecs (and ProRes if using a Mac with FCP, I think been awhile since I've exported on a Mac so don't quote me on where the ProRes ones are).
Then just go through and make sure all the other setting you want and need are correct, also with DNxHD when you select it that codec setting button that you see in the first picture will fill in and you can adjust the codecs options in another popup window.
The process is similar if exporting in AME, just drop in the Premiere Sequence and find the DNxHD codec fromt he Quicktime list then get all your settings. Not sure about the exact steps you would need for AE, since I didn't go look it up its probably not to difficult to figure out. Might be a better way to do this, just how I would do it.
