Export footage to edit in avid

So I have over 70 hours of footage in various formats. It all needs to be converted to a format that can be edited in avid. We would like to avoid recapturing if possible.
The most of the footage is HDV 1080i60 or HDV 1080i30. some is dv standard and some is dv widescreen. What format can it be converted to for it to play nicely in avid???

Perhaps in future use http://tinyurl.com for creating short links to long URLs.
For Example: http://tinyurl.com/6rzuef
Or learn to post your links in HTML so you can keep the long URL to link to but display it connected a short descriptive piece of text.
For Example: click here for link to whatever

  • Capture with FCP - Edit on Avid

    I have been asked by a friend if I can digitise (via FCP) 6 hours of DVCam for them to edit in Avid - they have asked for me to supply it as OMFI files. Now the only reference I can find in the 'Export' option is for Audio export as OMF. Surely OMFI is a file exchange format and not a video file. Can anyone fill in the blank spaces for me please?

    You cannot capture footage as OMFI with FCP. FCP captures as Quicktime. You cannot convert the footage to OMFI...only Avid can do that. Well, now Automatic Duck does that too, as mentioned:
    http://automaticduck.com/products/pefcp/
    "New in this release you can export Avid MXF media that connects to your exported AAF file, write media that is external to the OMF or AAF file avoiding file size limits as well as translate many effects from Final Cut Pro to your Avid or Quantel Generation Q system."
    Is this true Wes?

  • What is the best way to import and export footage from the 5D Mark II?

    Hello,
    I've just finished shooting what I am considering to be my directorial masterpiece.  Shot it on the Canon 5D (1080p, 24fps), and the footage looks amazing.  Now I am ready to start editing and have been using premiere lately, but I have yet to figure out the proper pipeline.  I want to know the best way to retain resolution before I delve into this project.
    My questions:
    1)  What is the best way to start a new project and import the footage without having to render whilst editing, so as to retain all resolution and originality of the source footage?
    2)  What is the best way/ codec/ format to export this same footage once editing is complete so as to retain that crisp 1080p for which the 5D is so recognized?
    3)  What is the best way/ codec/ format to import and export/ render between premiere and after effects?  I am speaking mostly of vfx and color correction.  I also have some 30fps footage that I intend to slow down in AE and then import into premiere.
    I know this is pretty broad, but as a solo filmmaker I really need someone's guidance.  I rarely ever finish my films with the same, crisp look as the footage.  I need pipeline help, and really appreciate it!

    1. Follow the advice above. Also use the Media Browser to import the footage in case you have spanned media files. Import files with the Media Browser.
    2. It largely depends on what you wish to ouput to: Blu-ray, web, etc. This FAQ gives the best answer: What are the best export settings?
    3. Use the Replace with Adobe After Effects Composition function.

  • How to remove 3:2 pulldown properly from 24p SD 16:9 NTSC footage (After Editing)

    Hi,
    I'm currently editing a full length feature film and originally imported all the footage directly into final cut making the timeline become a 29.97 timeline, when the pulldown should have been removed before the fact. After much research I know that you can properly remove the 3:2 pulldown from the 24p footage after editing and can be done in compressor. I've tried a number of different compressions and seem to have the dimensions correct which is good. But the 16:9 footage when brought into iDVD or dvd studio pro it seems to want to make the footage 4:3 which is quite confusing and frustrating. I need to be able to get my compression settings correct so that i'm able to put this on a dvd properly. I originally exported the footage from final cut as DV/NTSC and made sure it was 16:9 coming out of final cut. The resolution is 720x480 but comes out as 853x480 as its dimensions and has a squeezed look to the video as it did on its timeline unless the preserve aspect ratio button was unchecked. The only way around getting the squeezed look to go away is to go through compressor and make sure that letterbox is turned off so that its a full screen. Even though its a large file size I compressed using apple pro res to get the best resolution I could, but I need the best results with the lowest file size since the running time is roughly 1:43:00. The footage looks good coming out of compressor, but for some reason even though its full screen 16:9 everytime it is brought into iDVD or dvd studio pro it wants to make it 4:3? what is the reason for this! I recently read an article on this problem and the reverse telecine option within compressor is used to remove the extra frames that final cut adds, and makes the video of better quality relieving the horizontal lines that are caused by the extra frames. I need help on this and I know it can be done because people have proof that it works but I can't seem to reach a solution myself. Thank you to all who reply much appreciated!

    What happens when you drop a 4:3 clip - with its anamorphic flag cleared - into the 16:9 sequence ?
    I have not been doing exactly this, but I have been going the other way, to produce letterboxed 4:3 footage from 16:9 HDV.
    I found, when dropping the clip in, FCP automatically set a scale and distort, to correct for the differnce in aspect ratio - does it do this for you for 4:3 SD on a 16:9 SD timeline ?
    Remember, you have to re-open a clip, from the sequence timeline, to see its motion settings in that timeline - I keep forgetting this, drop a clip on, then wonder why nothing I change on the clip happens in the sequence!
    Regarding the final output, it all sounds fine, except for the possibility of the 4:3 TV output - the 16:9 footage would be okay letterboxed, but the original 4:3 footage would be better 1:1 - if you had to pillar box the 4:3 in the 16:9 (probably what FCP would do by default) and then letterboxed that when making the 4:3, you'll end up with a box in box, plus interlacing problems from the rescale.
    I would consider making a second 4:3 sequence, once you have finished the edit on 16:9, try copying all the 16:9 edits (Cmd-A, Cmd-C) and pasting them into the new 4:3 (Cmd-V) - then its a case of leaving the 16:9 letter boxed, or zooming and panning it for 4:3, and removing the scale / aspect from the 4:3 sequences alltogether, so they play normally.
    Messy - isn't it ?
    Good luck!

Kindly suggest how can it be solved, does any plugins or settings needed to edit 4K footages? Also would like to mention that footages frame rates are 29.97 and i have set timeline to 25 FPS is requirement by client. kindly revert. Thanks

    Thanks Richarad ..It has solved the problem but still crashes some times .As the programme has the break (bumper)after every five minutes ,i hope it will not compress bumper time too after export.

  • With Canon XF100, canfootage shot at a higher bit/frame rate than other footage be edited together?

    If you start recording footage at the highest quality bit/frame rate for a project, then realize it's going to take forever to render and eat up a lot of space, can that footage be edited with footage shot at a lower bit/frame rate? Or will there be an obvious difference in quality? Trying to decide if it's best to switch rates now...
    What would the best bit/frame rate setting be to shoot high-definition footage? 
    Thanks!

    Were you shooting on the Panasonic HVX-200 onto P2 cards in 720pn mode?
    Yes, that's correct.
    you should still make a DVD and watch the movie on a TV
    I will do that; thanks for the advice.
    if you are having these problems on your computer, there's always a chance that your client will have problems showing the file on the unknown computers
    That has been a big part of my cause for concern. My friend (the one I'm working with on this project, who owns the equipment we're using) would prefer to burn it to a Blu-ray disc, but unfortunately we don't have access to a Blu-ray burner. So I'm thinking we should provide it as both a DVD and as a QuickTime file, to cover as many bases as possible.
    Thanks again for your patience with novice questions. I've looked for books on these kinds of things, but everything I've found seems to either be written at the extreme beginner level ("this is how you upload video onto your computer"), or the extreme advanced level. Perhaps I haven't been looking in the right places; if you can suggest some good reading materials on this kind of thing, that would be great.

  • How to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?

    how to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?
    I have a requirement in SAP HR where in the appraiser can add comments in the area given and can export that to excel file. Currently the file is getting exported but the comments getting split into deifferent rows.
    I want the entire comment to be fit in one row.
    Please help.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    if your text edit value is stored in 'lv_string' variable.
    then before exporting the value to excel you have to remove CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
    that is '#' from the variable lv_string.
    for that use code some thing like this.
    REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE in lv_string WITH space.
    I think this will do the trick.

  • Crystal Reports Formatting issues when exporting to Word Editable document

    Version: CR XI, I am editing a document exported from CR to Word Editable
    When exporting to a Word Editable (.rtf) document the formatting changes.  For example: lines that were drawn in the report do not come across, there  is a tab in front of each line and a carriage return at the end of each line and spacing and justification formatting are not the same.  Is there a way to export to Word Editable and keep the formatting integrity? This report was developed by a third party but I can edit it if needed.

    Pages 5 is, as an early reviewer put it, "an unmitigated disaster." Not only does it lack some 100 feautres that are present in Pages 09 (4.3), it is also VERY buggy, A quick look through these discussions will reveal a painful litany of data corruption, files that cannot be opened, lost data, and other anomalies. Links do not export reliably to PDFs, and, as you've discovered, export to .docx format is unreliable. Sadly, the best advice is to trash Pages 5.1 and use Pages 4.3 or — yes, it's come to that — Word instead.

  • Huge size scheme export in standard edition

    Hi,
    Source:-

    Destination:-
    Oracle 11gR2 - enterprise edition.
    I have to export a scheme of size 250+ gb, it taking long time to export as we do not have parallelism too in STD edition.
    Is there any way? Where I can perform export & import faster?
    Constraint is expdp of schema taking 30+ hours, so If transportable tablespaces, then is there any compatibility problem with source and destination versions and editions?
    An what is the procedure?
    Thanks.

  • Can Canon 5D Mark II footage be edited in FCE at 1080p?

    Can Canon 5D Mark II footage be edited and outputted in FCE at 1080p?
    I am converting the raw 5D footage to Apple intermediate Codec using MPEG Stream Clip and then importing into FCE. Playback during editing is fine. Then I notice that in the easy set up options there doesn't seem to be an option to choose 1080p. Does that mean that FCE cannot edit/output 1080p files, or does it just mean that there is no easy setup for 1080p? What should my easy setup settings be for editing these files in FCE?
    Thanks for your help

    I converted to apple intermediate codec using MPEG streamclip to make it easier to edit in imovie (plays back smoother) so assumed it was best to do the same with FCE. Not necessary?
    The converted file data is
    H.264, 1920x1080, AIC, 16 bit, big endian, FPS30, 64.62 mb/s
    The original file data is
    H.264, 1920x1080, 16 bit, little endian, FPS30, 39.77 mb/s

  • Preparing files for export to digital editions

    Hi, Is there any documentation for best practices for creating documents to be exported to Digital Editions? I would like to retain as much bold and italic, bullets, have some spacing control, etc. In other words, would love to keep post xml manipulation to a minimum. Having a hard time understanding whether character and paragraph styles help more, or adding tags...or something else.
    Thanks so much for any assistance or pointers...

    If the document is fairly basic (no sidebars, photos, etc.), it's all maintained when you export.
    ID has a nasty habit of dropping the fonts from the XML, so you may need to fix that manually.
    Spacing control is more difficult, because the text in the ePub is meant to reflow, so it's impossible to fix widows, etc.
    This tool is helpful for testing/repairing:

  • Exporting audio for editing in Peak

    Someone mentioned to me at some point that there is a way to edit audio from another program directly from logic. Meaning I don't have to export the audio- edit - save, and then bring it back into logic.
    ****, I'm not saying this right. Basically I want to edit a file that is in my audio bin without taking the file out of Logic.
    Anyone know what I am talking about?
    Thanks.

    You can define an external Audio editor in the Preferences (Prefs->Audio-Sample editor->external sample editor->define a path/application). It is set to Soundtrack Pro by default but you can change it to Bias I'm sure. Then just assign a keycommand like "shift+w" to open a file in the external editor. Select the Audio file in the Arrange->hit shift+w->and voila it will open in Bias.
