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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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:
    Gyazo - 549356228a841d35b781c05c2b41011b.png
    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?

  • 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。

    There is a possibility that your RAM is failing (is this original RAM or 3rd party upgrade?).

    1 single bit has changed in RAM that has been marked with a pattern 0xdeadbeefdeadbeef that is intended to detect when it is modified after having been released by some kernel code (including 3rd party extensions).
    While some kernel code could have told the OS it was done using a bit of RAM, but then continued to use it after the OS wrote 0xdeadbeefdeadbeef into the RAM, it is also possible that the RAM is failing and switched the value of one bit from 1 to 0
    0xd is 1101 in binary bits
    0x5 is 0101 in binary bits
    You may want to download and run Rember over and over again (as it set the repeat loops to a very high number or click Maximum).  You want to run lots of passes as RAM failures can be intermittent.
    <http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/>
    You should do a clean boot, quit all apps, including anything that runs in your Menu Bar.  Maybe even consider booting into Safe Mode (see next paragraph for safe mode info).  This is so that as much RAM as possible is available for Rember to test.
    If Rember does not find anything, you can try booting into Safe Mode to see if it is some 3rd party addition that is causing problems

  • Using Compressor to Export for DVD Duel Layer

    I want to Compress for a DVD DL, but all the setting i see in compressor are set for a DVD-5 (4.7 G). How do i get it to be set of a DVD DL (8.5 G)? Please Help

    Jared,
    There are several things to consider when creating a dual-layer disc. First, the first-layer needs to be larger than the second, even if by only one bit. DVDSP4 has the ability to automatically place the layer break in the appropriate place however, it's best to help the process by placing "cell" markers in the timeline at about the halfway mark of the data on your encode. This will help DVDSP find an appropriate place to create the layer-break.
    Also, you can't use the entire 8.5GB on the disk; just like HDD's a portion of the actual data-space on the disk is taken up by metadata and MPEG-2 core files during the encode.
    To really get a handle on how this all works - and to help with any troubleshooting I'd highly suggest these two books:
    DVD Studio Pro 4; Martin Sitter and Adrian Ramseier and; Compressor 3 Quick Reference Guide, Brian Gary (who is a regular poster on these forums).
    Best wishes.

  • It´s not possible to use compressor  when  exporting to compressor 4.0.7 from FCP 10.1

    Yes. Export a master file from FCP and bring  that exported file into Compressor's source file well.

  • 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!

  • Audio Sync when Exporting Using Compressor

    Hello!
    Having an odd situation. Project in FCP 4.5 the audio is sync'd just fine in FCP export using Compressor and the audio is delayed about 5 seconds...so the video footage starts and about 5 seconds later the audio starts. Now, in the same project I have other footage and exported the same exact way without issues - I have no idea why this particular footage would be an issue! Because Compressor is exporting these files with the audio and video as separate files I am seeing this issue when the file is in DVD Studio Pro - but again none of the other files that are being placed on this DVD are having audio alignment issues...so this is not making sense.
    I am not 'new' at this but I am no expert either - my main gig is audio - so I could really use some help.
    Any suggestions? I am not sure what other information someone would need to help so ask away.
    Thanks in advance!

    Well I REALLY need some help with this one! I have tried so many different 'work arounds' without success. As mentioned in my first post the audio is not sync'ing with the video when exported. I have tried Exporting the file in QuickTime, I have tried using Compressor again exporting just the video then the audio - pulling it into a new session and lining it up again but everytime I pull it the newly exported file into a new project and render it FCP crashes not allowing it to render (nice!). I actually started from square one capturing the video footage again and assemble the project again without luck. I simply cannot believe what a pain in the arse this is!! I need to get this project done and it simply won't do it.
    Where are my blood pressure pills????

  • What to use if not compressor to export to DVD?

I have a project that was due yeasterday so Im getting kinda desperate, I have about 120 minutes that I need to get into DVD SP bud all my compressor files are getting screwed up. I want as high quality as possible.

    I have problems with digital flickering when using compressor to export files, what are my options? ..... I want as high quality as possible.
    Then you need a hardware encoder.
    Post more information about your project and probably you'll get help to get the best quality possible using the tools you currently have.
    Please, when posting same problem in different forums (what is absolutly allowed), just link them to let people work in group and track all answers.

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

    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.

    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.
