CS 4 requiring rendering of 24p mxf files?

I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS 4, and shoot with Panasonic HPX-170 cameras. I transfer all CONTENTS folders to hard drive after shooting. According to CS4 specs, mxf files are compatible. and all the presets show up in the 'create new sequence' window. So when I create a new CS4 project with a preset of either 720p 24p with footage shot like that, or HD 1080i 24p project with same footage shot that way, why am I getting a redline when I drag the clips to timeline?
At first, I shot in DVCpro50 480 60i, imported to the CS4 preset of DVCPro50, but never get a red line. Same if I shot in SD DV, and imported into
NTSC DV preset. I make sure the preset matches whatever I shoot in.
Not sure what I am doing wrong, because I should not have to render out native video in 24p, either 720p or 1080i, HD or SD.
Adobe Premiere CS 4 is installed as a stand-alone. But I also have Premiere Pro CS 2 with the Matrox X100 card installed. I have had
CS 4 just over a year, never encountered any conflicts. But just started shooting in the other formats other than DVCpro50 recently.
My system:
Custom built in 2005 with
Intel 4 3.2 ghz
3.65 gb ram
SATA drives for video/audio files
Windows XP Service Pack 3
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

I make sure the preset matches whatever I shoot in.
Well, the red line is an indicator that simply isn't true in this case. I'd take a closer look there to resolve the issue.

MOV is a container format which may contain all kinds of codec, while iTunes only import MOV whose video codec is DV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, or AIC.
Even if the MOV meet the above requirement and supported and playable in iTunes, it will still fail to sync to iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV if the MOV video does not fit the specification like resolution, bit rate, aspect ratio, size, and audio codec of the iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV.
In order to successfully import MOV to iTunes as well as sync MOV to Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad, we have better convert the MOV video to a more compatible video format.

I need to know best way to edit MXF files, with least rendering, is that converting the MXF or Log and Transfer? the end product is dvd, but I have lots and lots of these projects to do.

I am about to comence my Edit, and was told of Mpeg Streamclip, however this doesn't seem to work with my Canon XF305 Clips, the reason I was told to use it was so I wouldn't have to Render in Final Cut Pro all the time.. I do have the Canon Disc with the Plug in Utility and the update from their site.
Is it best to Convert these MXF files first and import them into FCP or use 'Log and Transfer', so far I am unable to do either!!
The projects on the timeline will have introduction .Movs already on it as a Template to re-use again and again with the new Footage ( MXF Files ) to be added and edited with transitions etc..This process is repeated again and again but with different MXF clips each time.
I am looking for the quickest and best way for workflow as there are 80 or more projects to do, each with 10 or so clips to be added to the timeline and Exported for DVD...Will I have to then Compress to fit onto DVD's??
I know Streamclip is an Mepeg 2 app but I thought the Canon XF305 Shot as mpeg2....
Is Log and Transfer my only Option?
Basically I need to know the quickest for Render purposes, and of course, the best way so the files aren't so huge etc etc.
Please, any suggestions would be greatly received....

We only work with PR422 files in FC7. We use Shane's workflow with all 5D & MXF footage.
Make your life easier and stick to the ProRes family for your footage and edit sequences. Avoid H264 & convert any you have to ProRes.
Unless you are considering Blu-Ray the only way to deliver video on a DVD is to convert it to SD.
Depending on the length of your show you can make a Blu-Ray in Compressor but you have very limited authoring options when compared to DVD Studio Pro.
Compressor can also convert your HD to SD mpg-2 & Ac3 files. The best results usually come from setting the frame controls in the mpg-2 setting of Compressor to best. Depending on the the length of the show and your Qmaster settings this can take quite a while.
I personally find Compressor's HD to SD DVD conversion varies. Sometimes it is wonderful and sometimes not so much. I prefer the following as it is usually is faster and very consistent.
Export a quicktime movie (not QT conversion) of your final sequence
Import the exported HD file back into FC.
Create a SD 16x9 sequence and then drop in the recently exported HD seq and render. Rendering the sequence basically has FC doing the HD to SD conversion. Export the SD sequence and then convert to mpg-2 & ac3 in Compressor. While this does take time I still find it faster than Compressor with Qmaster utilizing all cores.
Another option is using jobs in Compressor
http://pixelcorps.cachefly.net/macbreak-154-540p-h264.mov
In this workflow you would have Compressor convert the HD file to SD and then through jobs convert the SD file to mpg2 & Ac3.
In theory the jobs version could be faster (based on a number of variables- length, Qmaster, etc) but I haven't had time to compare the two.

P2 card files from Panasonic 200 camera. Why do they require rendering?

Hi!
I am doing a HD project shot in 1080 and after I successfully imported all the files from P2 card, they require rendering (which takes about 4 times the real time). Is this normal? I thought that no rendering is required, when you go from P2... Please help.
Thanks,
Tim

Thank you both... I tried that and it works!
But what if I have a mix of formats? I.e. some of the footage is in DVCPRO HD 720p60 and some of it is in DVCPRO HD 1080i60? Would I have to render all the files in one of the categories or there is a "workaround"?
Thank you once again. I already love this forum.

We are trying to close caption our telecasts. We get the captioning files done out of house, pull them back into Premiere, and then embed them. The TV station requires .mxf files with the file embedded as a 708 stream, to play on their Grass Valley K2 video servers. We have tried multiple scenarios and cannot get the captions to display.
Whenever I export, it becomes a 608 stream, and will not play on their servers.

Hello there,
I'm sorry to hear you are having a problem. Thank you for taking the time to post here.
Here are some questions:
1. What version of PPRO are you using? MAC or WIN?
2. Is the caption data you are embedding a 708 caption stream?
3. When you re-import the MXF with captioning embedded back into PPRO, does it show 708 closed captions in PPRO?
PPRO will embed 708 caption streams to MXF -- I just did this, re-imported the embedded MXF to PPRO, and I see the captions in the MXF.
If you could share one of your files with me, I could take a look.
Take care and thanks again,
CM

Problem rendering MXF files Premiere Pro CC 2014

I'm working with MXF files on a project that has pretty normal cross dissolves etc. The footage is mostly 60p and I'm using the occasional time remapping effect etc. The closer I've gotten to the finished edit now suddenly the timeline will render up to about 90%- 95% then stall slowly rendering for 20-30 minutes or more.
I'm working on a 3.5ghz Core i7 iMac - 32 GB of ram. Up to this point it's been pretty seamless working with these files. I've also upgraded to Premiere CC 2014.
This is very very frustrating at this point though since it seems completely random when a clip might take 3 seconds to render or 3 hrs.

Got the same Error. Previous I worked with a GTX 760, and was hoping to get it fixed with using a GTX 780 6GB. But just as you, didn't solve the Problem.
Usually I got the Problem solved, with exiting Premiere, restarting it, reset my Workspace. Then the Problem of having the bugged Workspace was gone. And also the Problem of the missing Video Tracks.
At the moment I started on a new Project. Pretty simple, with only a 21 second DV footage. And here I was switching tabs with my Browser, came back to the Project, and the Video Tracks were gone. I saved, closed Premiere, restated and the Video Tracks are still missing.
So I made a new Sequence, voilá the Video Tracks are there. Thus I need to copy and paste the Tracks onto the new Sequence.
But that is not really a solution!
I was on the Phone with Adobe, and on Chat, but they couldn't help me. They suggested to get a Tesla or Quadro Card, or at least a GPU that got confirmed as working on their page. I did that, but obviously, that is not the issue.

MXF files in FCP5/6

Hi, quick question--
Am I right in assuming MXF files cannot be as easily imported and edited in FCP 5.1.4 as well as FCP 6? I run a computer lab at a college and our machines are running 5.1.4, and one of our students shot on a Panasonic HVX200, which saves footage as .MXF
Is there an easy way to import this footage and edit it in 5.1.4 that doesn't require converting to QT first and then rendering?

With the use of RAYLIGHT:
http://dvfilmstore.com/raylight-for-mac.html
But is there a PROBLEM with importing it? And it isn't CONVERTING anything...it is copying the files and putting a QT wrapper on them so FCP can read them. This is a VERY advisable way to do this, as you are not physically working with the master footage. Import the footage (and the LOG & TRANSFER window allows you to set inpoints and name the clips...VERY handy) to your media drive and then put the drive with the MASTER clips on a shelf...If the hard drive fails (as they are oft to do) then you have a backup.
Importing is easy on FCP 5.1.4 and 6.0...

Error Compiling Movie: Unknown Error - compiling .mxf files and .png files

Hi there, really hoping someone can help here!
I'm attempting to output a Premiere Pro CS6 v.6.0.0 timeline through the AME V6.0.382 64bit and am getting the "unknown error" at various points during the output. The timeline contains .mxf files directly imported from a Canon MX105 recorded at 1980x1080 - the sequence is in the same resolution - 25p 50mb. It also contains .png slides, .jpeg slides, titles, transitions, 3-way color correction, mutliband audio compression, a volume plugin. I've tried "watching" the output as it renders and removing potential "bad frames" within Premiere but I've done this 3 times and they keep rearing their head later down the project, and I can't afford to remove any more clips.
I'm working on an OSx v10.8.2 Mountain Lion Mac with 2.6g i7 w/8gigs RAM.
Any help greatly appreciated, I'm quite new to this so any further information required to troubleshoot, just ask.
Thanks,
Paul

I'm having (what appears to be) the same problem. I've spent a total of 8 hours talking to Adobe tech support about it, and they've said they would look into it. Here is a project containing two consecutive frames of my animation; the first (4965) does not load (and appears with the "Media pending" image if you try to view it), but the second (4966) loads fine. In every other application I've tried, both images load fine. Adobe support said "there's something wrong with the header" but I've looked at them with several programs (e.g. below) and can't see anything different between the file that works and the one that fails.

How to import MXF files to Final Cut Pro with smooth editing

Summary: Follow this tutorial to learn how to import and edit MXF files in Final Cut Pro by converting MTS to FCP native format.
If you have a Panasonic P2, Canon XF or Sony XDCAM series camcorder,
you may be familiar with Material eXchange Format (MXF). Though MXF is a
great video format to record high-definition videos, it is not easy to
use in that they are not natively supported by most NLE systems like
Final Cut Pro. In order to import MXF to FCP for editing, the easy workaround is to transcode MXF files to FCP compatible video formats.
Along with some help from a top MXF Converter, it can be done. To
help those who wanna edit MXF files in FCP without problems, here I
share with you a simple guide on how to convert MXF files to edit in
Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X.
First of all, downloading the App- Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac
Overall, the program is a professional yet easy-to-use MXF Converter
on Mac (Mavericks included) which can not only convert XF100, Canon
C300, XF105 and XF305, Panasonic P2 recorded MXF files, but also provide
simple video editing functions for you. The MXF to FCP Converter not
only can convert MXF to ProRes for FCP, but also can transcode MXF
videos for editing in Avid MC, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, FCE, etc.
Just download it and follow the tutorial below to get the work done.
Transcoding (P2) MXF files to ProRes for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X
1. Import MXF files to the converter
Launch the best MXF to FCP Converter, and then click the “add files” button to browse and import MXF videos from your camcorder or hard drive.
2. Select FCP editable format
Click the Format bar, and move mouse cursor to choose “Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)” as output format.
Tips:
a. Settings- click to set video
resolution(1920×1080/1440×1080/1280×720/720×480), bitrate (from 1Mbps to
20Mbps), frame rate (24p/30p)
b. Editor (next to “Add” icon)- click to set deinterlace, trim, crop, add effect, attach subtitles, etc
3. Start transcoding MXF video to FCP
Click “Convert” button to start converting MXF files to Apple ProRes
MOV for FCP 6/7/X under Mac OS. Once the MXF to ProRes 422 conversion
is done, you can transfer MXF footage into Final Cut Pro (X) for editing
smoothly on Mac with ease.

You may refer to this step by step guide on how to convert MXF to Final Cut Pro more supported Apple ProRes or DV at http://www.idealshare.net/imovie-fcp/mxf-final-cut-pro.html
It also applies to convert MXF to other video or audio format. It even applies to convert other videos like AVCHD, MOD, TOD, AVI, and MPEG etc to FCP format.

Importing .mxf Files from an external hard drive...

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. My problem comes close to others discussed, but I haven't been able to find a duplicate post. And I apologize for the length; I just want to give you as much info. as possible (I also put details in my signature) to help you help me.
I shot a short film using Panasonic's HVX200 camera, filming in HD 720p/24p, and downloaded each P2 card through a PC laptop into a LaCie Brick external hard drive. I was originally planning on editing the footage with Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, but became frustrated with how much trouble it was having handling the .mxf files. Assured by Apple salespeople that FCP 5 would have no problem importing the footage from an external hard drive, I purchased the computer described in my signature.
Now I know that FCP/Apple only supports importing footage from the P2 card directly, and not from an external hard drive. A representative from ProMax.com was able to help me out, however. First, he had me copy the footage files onto my Mac internal drive from the external hard drive. Then, he had me select IMPORT -> PANASONIC P2. Then, I was to highlight the CONTENTS folder and import away. And it worked... sort of.
There are two major problems: 1) During this transfer, not all of the footage is making it across. I import it, and then get the much-talked about "one or more P2 clips failed to import; probable incomplete or corrupt clips" warning. After checking the original video folder on the internal hard drive and comparing it to the number of clips FCP imported, I learned that I had lost around 20 clips/video files at one point. Other shooting day transfers worked completely smoothly with all of the files imported (we split up the footage by shooting day, without touching or changing the CONTENTS folders). So, some transfers work and some don't. And 2) When I try to import the files from our 4th day of shooting, I get a "Selected path does not contain a P2 volume." Nothing is imported.
So, that's my situation, and I'm getting very desperate. I know that I'm not doing things in the Apple-supported way, but I'm really hoping there's still someway to successfully get the files from the external hard drive into FCP completely. It seems to work some of the time.
Final notes: When importing, I make sure to import the entire CONTENTS folder. There is never a LASTCLIP.TXT file listed under it in the window, but some of the days of footage have transferred perfectly, so I'm hoping that's not a dealbreaker. If it is, isn't there some way to rebuild a lastclip.txt file? I don't even know if that's the issue. And one last note: In most of my folders, the "CLIP" folder has a number of files in it. In the 4th day's footage that I can't import at all, I noticed that the CLIP folder is empty. And on the days where FCP isn't importing all the files (like I mentioned above), there isn't a CLIP file for every single VIDEO file. Could this be the main problem? Along this line, is there a way to somehow put the footage on the external hard drive back through a p2 card and then into the Mac?
Okay, I'll stop typing. Thank you so, so much for any help.

PowerMac G5 (Dual 2.3 GHz) Mac OS X (10.4.6) Quicktime 7.1.1 - Final Cut Pro 5.1 - Aforementioned External Hard Drive: LaCie Brick (FAT 32 based)
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

The problem didn't turn out to be as complicated as I had thought. The process I described above ended up working fine, and I'll explain how. And this is a cool workaround, because the AppleCare helpers told me that they didn't think it would work (FCP P2 import is only supported straight from the P2 card/viewer or the camera).
I hooked up my external hard drive to the Power Mac G5, and copied the files and folders onto my internal scratch disk. Then, I opened FCP and chose IMPORT -> Panasonic P2. I chose the "CONTENTS" folder for each day's filming, and imported them in, no problems. There was no visible "lastclip.txt" file shown (under the "CONTENTS" folder or anywhere else), but this didn't seem to cause any problems.
The reason that not all of the footage was bring imported (the aforementioned "one or more P2 clips failed..." warning) was because we were missing clip files (in the CLIP folder) corresponding to certain video files (in the VIDEO folder). Luckily, we had just forgotten to transfer all of them from the original external hard drive, and once we transfered them completely, FCP could read all the video files. FCP needs a clip file for every video file in order to make it work (that's why our aforementioned "Day 4" could not be read; we hadn't copied all of the clip files over with the video files).
Even after we did this, we STILL were getting the "one or more P2 clips..." warning for our Day 5. After taking a look at all the folders, we figured out that there were still more files in the VIDEO folder than in the CLIP folder, even after we transferred them all over. Finally, we figured out what had happened. For some reason, some of the audio files for some of the clips had been included in the VIDEO folder for our Day 5. There is no way we did this accidentally; somehow, the HVX200 placed some of the audio files into both the VIDEO and AUDIO folders. And FCP was trying to read those as video files, and therefore couldn't find the corresponding clips in the CLIP folder. After making sure that those audio files were also in the AUDIO folder, we simply deleted them from the VIDEO folder and stopped getting the "failed to import" warning.
Final thing to share: If we had actually been unable to find the corresponding clip files in our original external hard drive, we had also found a potential solution (that we didn't end up needing to try). You can record from FCP back onto the P2 card, in the hopes that the clip files would be regenerated when you re-import it into FCP. I received a PDF file about this process, and I'm not sure how to put it up on the page here. If interested in this described process (which, again, I can't fully vouch for), feel free to email me at [email protected] and I can forward it to you.
Hope this helps.

Errors and Red Flashes with MXF files

Hi all and Adobe, this is the third time i have posted hear about this and it is now getting very serious as the problem is affecting my income as I run a small one man video production business.
When I encode video that has any MXF file in the timeline, and most of my projects do as I generally am editing two to three camera shoots with one of the cameras being a Canon XF300.
I get many errors, and multiple red flashes in the encoded video.
I run all of my Adobe CC applications on a 2013 iMac 27" 3.5 Intel Core i7 32 gig Ram Nvidia GeForce GTX 780m 4096MB
There is no bottleneck regarding disk drive as I am using a dedicated GRaid 8TB Thunderbolt drive.
I first ran into this problem within a week of upgrading to the latest Premiere Pro CC 8.1 Caravan. I then noticed it when using Media Encoder when encoding both Premiere and After Effects projects Smith MXF files involved.
I at first thought the problem may have been corrupted cache file so deleted them all and re conformed. I even uninstalled Premiere cleaned out all relevant directories then reinstalled.
No matter what I tried the problem will not go away.
I went online and noticed in many forums people complaining about the same problem and coincidently most seem to have the problem appear since the last upgrade.
I then rang support and after a very long wait spoke to a man who advised I need to select Cuda in the GPU settings and delete all previews, so I did this while on the phone to him then started encoding a project and to my delight no errors.
I was so excited I jumped on here to tell another person who had a similar problem the solution.
But then within a day the errors were back and with vengeance, at the end of one of my last encodes yesterday I had an error log window that filled an iMac 27" screen not good.
I then rang support again and as with the previous call a long wait ensured.
After explaining my problem and indicating the discussion I had with the previous support person he indicated that Adobe was aware of this problem and they were trying to fix it.
He suggested a work around and that was to encode only using the Mercury software not any GPU settings.
So off I went and encoded the same project and guess what happened, more errors many errors.
Also please note to be thorough I tried encoding a project from 2013 that has worked perfectly before on previous versions of Premiere but as soon as it is loaded into this version the errors appear.
I also wish to bring to attention the abysmal support mechanism Adobe has established.
There seems to be no way to fast track serious problems.
I and many people like me need this problem solved as we rely on Adobe for our living.
If this continues for much longer I will have to reconsider my investment in the Adobe CC product.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Cliff elliott

Over the last couple of hours I tried an experiment using the same project which contains a two camera edits containing video from Canon XF300 and XHA1 cameras.
The experiment was to encode out form the project on three separate Macs.
As I have explained in the first post my main Machine the 2013 iMac gives errors on any setting including GPU selections.
I then tried it on an older iMac a 2010 model 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7 which has an ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB GPU and the same problem occurs.
Next came an old Mac Book Pro 2011 that does not have GPU support. The project rendered without any errors but took about so long compared to the 2013 iMac which is to be expected.
So the problem seems to be related to the relationship between Premiere and the GPU's.
I hope this helps the Adobe engineers sort this out.

Why is Premiere getting an error when trying to export .MXF files?

Hello!
I have a video that I need to submit to DMDS and it must be a .mxf file. This is the first time I've ever had to export a .mxf so I am not too familiar with the type. I have been exporting every other type of file for years and never had an issue (H.264, quicktime, etc.). However, when I try exporting .mxf I get the generic rendering error which then stops the export.
The first time I tried, the video was down to 12 minutes left (after about 2 and a half hours) when I got the error.
The next time, it crashed right away with over 2 hours still remaining.
So it does not seem to be a corrupt clip because: A) I've been rendering this video out as other file types for rough previews, drafts, etc and it's worked fine and B) The 2 crash times were on opposite ends of the spectrum.
I am running an iMac with OSX 10.7.5, 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8GB ram...I am using Premiere Pro Version 6.0.0
I do have Third Party plug ins installed but have never had an issue exporting in the past, only with this .mxf file.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

If you have GPU accelertation enabled in Premiere Pro, try switching to Software Only.
Are you queuing the job to AME or clicking "Export" in the Export Settings dialog (which encodes directly through Premiere)? Whichever path you're going down, try the other one.
I'd also keep an eye on your resource usage, especially RAM, while encoding in progress. With 8GB of RAM, I'd be surprised if that were the problem.
Lastly, if you're encoding through AME, then you might want to post on that product's forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/ame

Converting MXF files to Apple ProRes 422 HQ generates no audio, video only. Why?

Hi,
Does anyone here have experience with Aunsoft TransMXF for Mac or Aunsoft Video Converter for Mac?
I was using Aunsoft TransMXF for Mac to convert my Cannon C300 MXF files to the Apple ProRes 422 HQ(*.mov) format so that I can import and edit my video footages without rendering in Final Cut Pro X.
However, the converted MOV file from Aunsoft TransMXF for Mac included no sound, only video (which was in excellent quality though).
I have played the generated Apple ProRes MOV file in both QuickTime and FCPX, no audio at all.
But the original MXF files just previewed fine with audio in the camera itself.
I am not sure if there's anything wrong with my MXF files or with the Aunsoft TransMXF for Mac program.
Any suggestion here is appreciated!

Just got the solution.
I contacted the customer service at Aunsoft and they offered me the workaround. Here shares the information so that people with similar issue could have a reference.
From Aunsoft:
Why Canon C300/XF100/XF300 MXF files converted with no sound?
If your MXF files from Canon C300/XF100/XF300, etc are converted with no sound, or your MXF files previewed in Aunsoft program with only video, please do not worry. It is because Canon MXF contains two audio tracks, one with sound but the other with no sound. Aunsoft TransMXF or Video Converter happens to pick the track without sound by default. This is the reason why the converted output will has no sound but only video.
No worries, here’s the solution for this issue:
On the main interface of your Aunsoft program, click the "Show selected task properties" button on top of the Format box and then select in the Audio Stream ID box a different audio track.
Then, you can play Canon C300/XF100/XF300 MXF files in the preview window with both audio and video.Meanwhile, the files converted will also be with sound.

Red frames in 7.2 (7.2.0 or 7.2.1) when playing .mxf files

I have an iMac (mid-2011) with the 6970M card (officially not supported but capable of OpenCL) and a new MacBook Pro with the GT 650M card (officially blessed by Adobe, which is why I bought the computer). In 7.2 (either 7.2.0 or 7.2.1) red frames have popped up in seemingly random places when I play .mxf files. When I rolled back to 7.1 on my iMac, the red frames disappeared. I have checked this issue on your forum and tried deleting both the cache and the preview files; neither have worked. Unfortunately for me, my major job for the last half year entails working strictly with .mxf files.
I am wondering if you are planning any fix for this issue, which seems quite major as it is occurring on two different machines with two different video cards. If it weren't for the fact that the problem continues into exporting, I'd live with it, but the export issue makes it unusable in a professional environment at present.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for getting back to me!
the 5k media is 5120 x 2700 and are red r3d files, at a 8:1 redcode compression. Also 5120 x 2560 is the same.
I have a Blackmagic Ultrastudio 4k (1st generation) feeding a sdi signal to a flanders Scientific monitor, and also a Panasonic HDTV via HDMI.
The quality looks the same across the Program monitor, flanders monitor and the HDTV.
i have been editing in 1080p sequences - mainly the red r3d 1080p, but have also used the blackmagic sequnce settings plus many more and am observing the same issue.
As a test i rendered out a short clip at the 5120 x 2700 at full res to prores, imported the prores clip back into premier and resized into a 1080p sequence, playback res set to either 1/4, 1/2 or even full the clip enlages full size in the program monitor to full size but as soon as i pause playback it looks normal. so i dont think its a r3d issue but more a resolution scaling issue on playback. Purley for testing purposes i also tried a 1080p clip in a very low res sequnce at 640 x 360 and obsereved the same issue. 1080p clip in 1280x720 and 1024x576 seemed fine. This issue is a bit different to the above problem of 1/4 res not looking as good as it did but i think the problem is related.
so it seems that either my system has an issue or a strange bug in the update, DaVinci Resolve is working as normal so i can only assume its a bug ??
Thanks for your help with this,

FCE log and transfer goes from avchd to prores which then requires rendering down to AIC -- what's with that??

Someone gave me a Sony camera (HDR-CX160) to try to get some footage out of...
Log and Transfer worked fine, but the resulting files in Capture Scratch are ProRes. When I add them to the timeline, it requires rendering (Lengthy rendering), presumably to convert to AIC.
How can I get Log and Tranfer to go straight to AIC??

Do you have FCS or FCP-X installed on the same computer? Also, the HDR-CX160 is capable of shooting 60p which is not Log and Tansfer, or FCE compatible. You need to make sure the camera is recording 1080i60.
Anyway, try this:
Open Log and Transfer, and click on the gear in the upper/center portion of the pane to select preferences:
When the preference open, navigate to AVCHD Plugin and choose Apple Intermediate Codec.
Then try importing your files.
