Exporting with Avid Codec

I looked in the posts, but didn't see anything recent on this. I send commercials to local TV stations by outputting to Beta SP. Recently, those stations have started accepting a QT movie at their ftp site to eliminate the tape. Two use an Avid system, and have requested I output using an Avid codec.
I saw a post from Creative Cow in 2007, but that's the last I saw and there were problems that needed to be solved. Any new advice?. I am using the Power PC Mac, not the Intel version.

Quicktime export quits : Avid Codec Causing it ?

I was running the previous version of Quicktime with the Avid codec installed for a project we've exported from the edit suite.
The composer on the film can't run the film on her Intel iMac, as there aren't any UB Avid codecs yet.
Normally we've worked around this by simply exporting or sharing using my Quicktime Pro, and thus removing the Avid codec. But today the process has simply stopped working as sharing/exporting causes Quicktime to unexpectedly quit. Worse this happens half an hour after seemingly carrying on fine, so the day has been written off.
I've thrown away prefs, updated Quicktime, reinstalled avid codecs, repaired permissions, the lot.
Nothing. No joy. Any ideas of how to stop Quicktime quitting gratefully appreciated - the Cannes deadline is looming.

I was running the previous version of Quicktime with the Avid codec installed for a project we've exported from the edit suite.
The composer on the film can't run the film on her Intel iMac, as there aren't any UB Avid codecs yet.
Normally we've worked around this by simply exporting or sharing using my Quicktime Pro, and thus removing the Avid codec. But today the process has simply stopped working as sharing/exporting causes Quicktime to unexpectedly quit. Worse this happens half an hour after seemingly carrying on fine, so the day has been written off.
I've thrown away prefs, updated Quicktime, reinstalled avid codecs, repaired permissions, the lot.
Nothing. No joy. Any ideas of how to stop Quicktime quitting gratefully appreciated - the Cannes deadline is looming.

Field order issue with Avid codec

Is there some way of setting the field order of the source for Encore DVD 2. Given the problems I experienced with ProCoder I decided to encode a project using the inbuilt Main Concept encoder.
On the interpret footage menu I can correctly set the aspect ratio but not the field order.
Unfortunately Quicktime does not seem to be passing on the correct field order to the Main Concept encoder everytime.
I have had one encode using a preset I created that worked perfectly - I then copied that preset and added a crop and scale to get rid of some VIT (out of essential but viewable on the customers replay system) and everything was field muddled.
I can see how you can set the output field order but no way of setting the source field order. Transcoding on automatic had the same jumbled field effect.
BTW these were full Quicktimes not refs

Probably - although it is such a small re-scale, that if the scaling algorithm is even half-way decent the result should be fine. This is Digibeta originated footage.. in fact the result when I re-worked this in ProCoder was excellent.
I just wanted to avoid having to place a mask over 8 different sequences amounting to 50 minutes in length, as anything you then export would result in a full render (even though the Avid would play it in real time).
I guess I'll have to seriously look at my workflow - everything used to just work beautifully - Avid PAL codecs all UFF except for AvidDV LFF; now I keep getting a weird progressive looking result with the new Avid 1:1 10bit codec even though the source is interlaced UFF and recently I rendered an Avid DV export with all settings correct (Source LFF Target UFF) and it ended up jumbled. I had to deliberately set the source to UFF. I do think the culprit is QT 7 as all these problems seem to have started from the switchover from QT6+, but I'm not certain.

Raid 0 for media or previews? Using DSLR footage with Avid codec Sequence for smart rendering

I am on a PC currently using raid0 for media (4x 7200rp drives, read/write at 600) and exporting (no previews) to my sas 15k rpm (read/write about 180) previews/render drive.
I want to use avid codec for my sequence settings, will be doing smart rendering and exporting preview files for quicker exports.
My question, should I export to my raid0 since I will be exporting previews? Or is it better to keep the same setup and just add an export drive?

Either would work but since the Media array is so much faster than the Render drive, the export times probably wont change much exporting to the Render drive.

Trouble with Avid Codecs

To start, I'm using Mac OSX Mavericks. I've got two different machines, a Macbook Pro, and an iMac. On my iMac, when I import clips that were captured on a Blackmagic Hyperdeck with the Avid DNxHD codec, I get no audio. I can open these clips in prelude, speedgrade, even in Premiere Pro CS6, and get audio, all on the iMac. I can even ipmort the clips into Premiere pro CC on my Macbook pro, and I've got audio. I've uninstalled Premiere pro CC twice, and reinstalled. I've removed the preferences folder. I've uninstalled the codecs and reinstalled. I've tried three different versions of the codecs from Avid's web site. What am I missing?

Hi mboogman,
Welcome to the forums.
Have you tried to update the blackmagic drivers? Also, please check the audio hardware preferences and playback whether blackmagic is available as one of the componets or not.
Regards,
Vinay

Premiere Pro CC can't open audio from QuickTime exports with Animation Codec

Exported a file with format: QuickTime VideoCodec: Animation, with an alpha channel. When I opened the exported file back up in CC it doesn't recognize or play back the audio, but when I opened it in cs6 it worked.

Hi LeGrandCorbeau,
I had the same issue and solved, here is how:
Opened a new project and instead of choosing presets I selected resolution as 2048*1152 and 25fps which was the same with my ProRes footage and preview file format to I-Frame Only MPEG everything everthing got just fine!
Good Luck

Trying to Export with new codec freezes Quicktime pro 7.6.6

I have just updated Quicktime pro to version 7.6.6 and I am trying to export a .m4v to .mov to bring into FCP. I have done this a thousand times in the past with no problem. Now, however, when I click on File>Export>Options>Settings...the program freezes until I am forced to force quit. I have done this 7 times in a row with the same result. I have version 7.6.4 on my laptop and everything is working just fine. Anyone else having this issue...should I try to revert to my old QT (and how could I)? Any insight would be great. I have a project due soon and would love to convert the necessary files I need to finish! Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Avid Codec on FCP

Hi. Currently i am trying to view QT with AVmp from Avid. I have download the AvidCodecsLE, but I don't know what is the right sequence setting to use. I've tried all but it kept saying "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card. I am using FCP7.0.3 on MacBook Pro i7. Please help.

try this link
Avid QuickTime Codecs LE 2.3.2
http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=372311
I've done it before Qt footage with Avid codec on a FCP timeline
I don't beleive FCP cares what is in the timeline as long as you provide the right CODEC.
good luck

Proper Codec, Wrapper for Export From Avid to Import to Final Cut

Hi all,
Ugh, I am sadly working in Avid these days for a new employer. Talk sbout what seems to be a never ending headache! I am currently in the process fo sharing some raw stock footage clips with another organzation in another state. My thoughts on workflow at this point are to export high quality quicktimes from Avid and dump to data DVDs for mailing.
I am exporting 1080i footage shot on an Ikegami HDS V10 which is transcoded and P2 1080i footage which is consolidated into Avid.
I started with a couple of test files exported with a quicktime wrapper and 2 different codecs:
1Same as Source, Animation codec
2)None codec
I have FCS3, Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 at home and tested these Avid files there this morning. FCP was unable to read either of the codecs. THe same files are easily imported and played back in Premiere Pro.
Is anyone aware of a codec download for FCP that allows it to read these Avid files? If that is the only solution I can ask the video recipient to be sure ot sintall that, and will do so myself at home. Or is the problem related ot the codec created by Avid upon consolidation/transcoding? I do have to perform a video mixdown in Avid on all my Ikegami (Long GOP Media) clips before being able to export Same As Source, Animation Codec.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? THanks! ----Lindsay

Ugh, I am sadly working in Avid these days for a new employer.
Why so sad? Avid Media Composer is a great editing system.
I am currently in the process fo sharing some raw stock footage clips with another organzation in another state
Ah...and I guess that they don't use Avid...
My thoughts on workflow at this point are to export high quality quicktimes from Avid and dump to data DVDs for mailing.
You won't be able to fit large high quality exports onto DVDs. A couple minutes, max. Hard drives...you need to put footage on hard drives.
Is anyone aware of a codec download for FCP that allows it to read these Avid files?
YOu need to download and install the AVID codecs on your FCP system.

Black frames on playback and render with .MOV exported from Avid

Hi there,
some of our customers experience troubles while importing quicktime .mov files from last Avid Media Composer versions (latest 6.0.x, 6.5.x and 7.0.x versions).
Using any Avid codecs for export, when clips are played in AE, black frames appear on video, these are also present on renders and exported files.
Playing the same clips in other softwares and media players, the video is clear.
As we discussed with Avid support, Avid made changes in his software and codecs and it sounds like AE doesn't correctly interpret it.
Have you already heard of (or experienced) such troubles?
Best regards,
Sebastien GEFFROY,
CTM Solutions.

I'm having the same problem, but can't get a clean render out using a different codec.
I was trying to render all my After Effects compositions out as Quicktime with DNxHD 120 selected. This would give me random full frames of solid red. Every single render.
So, I tried selecting Quicktime NONE and most of the renders would just abort with the bleating lamb noise.
So, I tried AVI uncompressed. Every single composition rendered out, but every single rendered clip had exactly the same glitch - A solid black line that spans the bottom of the frame and increases in size every frame until it fills the screen. Then the picture returns and a couple of seconds later a full frame black flash. Same pattern and same duration - every clip.
So, if DNxHD codec has a problem and Quicktime has a problem and AVI has a problem I'd say it's safe to say that it's probably not a recording codec issue. How can three different codecs present a problem?
I've checked my source files. It doesn't matter what drive I place them one, either an internal solid state drive, or USB3 spinning disk in a caddy or network path to a NAS raid, or system drive, they give the same problems.
It doesn't matter what the source files are either - Tiff sequences from 3DS Max, JPG timelapse sequences from Nikon camera, video camera files, Quicktimes, AVIs, you name it - Broken renders.
So, I'd say that having tested my input files and tried many render codecs that the problem lies in between - Either the Computer or After Effects itself.
Now, up until Creative Cloud I was using my trusty old CS2. That worked fine.
If you read the internet it's full of people having rendering problems when using CS6 and CC.
Now, in my understanding, the main difference between me using CS2 and CC is the Adobe software - GPU renderer.
I am using the exact same workflow on the exact same equipment:-
HP Z1 Xeon E31280 @ 3.50GHz
Windows 7 64 bit professional
8GB DDR3 RAM.
Nividia Quadro 3000M.
I'm close to giving up. I'm going for a full system re-install, the gound up this bank holiday onto a brand new empty system drive.
I'll follow it with trying out various Nvidia drivers.
Can anyone point me to a definitive answer? I have trawled many different forums, with people all having the same issues and no one has an answer.

Flicker showing up in exported videos with various codecs

I am exporting videos using various codecs and all of them are showing a flicker occasionally that is obviously not in the original footage or in the editing footage. The flicker is a brief one-frame looking jump to black. The flicker only seems to occur viewing it on the web. Viewing the same file on my system using "Preview" (Mac OS X) produces the same flicker. However, watching it using the full QuickTime viewer does not show the flicker.
The footage was shot using a DSLR and is from a Pentax K7 and is 1280 x 720, 25 fps.
Edited footage in Premiere CS6 looks fine. I am using export settings for 720p from H.264 for YouTube, Vimeo and straight HD 720p at all three available frame rates (23.976, 25.0 29.97). I have also exported using QuickTime codecs at HD 720p, H.264
Here is a link to two examples of the videos with the flicker probelms. One flick occurs in the first one in several places, the first one right at the beginning as the fade-in is still occurring, but occurs in both videos throughout occasionally.

Any idea as to what is causing this and hot to fix it?
Thanks.

Bad form putting QuickTime's on the web. This requires unwanted plug-ins to be required for viewing.
Use MP4 instead.

I want to export with alpha channel using a codec that carries less data than gopro cineform

Hi--I want to export some intermediate files with an alpha channel. i'm using gopro cineform, and these files end up being so large, meaning that i have to sit through hour long renders. is there a a codec i can use that has an alpha chanel but creates a smaller file size?
thanks

Thanks for your help Patrick. I tell ya, I can't believe what's going on. As I said, this project until today has not caused me any issues what-so-ever. The other six sessions are totally fine. I also created a quick project with the same settings added text - then exported using the same settings I've used before, and it exports with the proper alpha channel.
Yet, I rebooted the Mac, made sure to delete old versions in the trash can and everything. Still, no alpha.
To keep moving forward, I literally had to use a color key in FCP to cut out the background color.
Crazy!

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
