Hi All,
so I've been rendering some DNxHD movies (at the request of an editor) and, for the most part, had no problems.
It's only with very complicated animations that this codec seems to break down. (see attached picture)
It happens upon repeated efforts to rerender.
As far as I can tell, this is not a Quicktime preview problem, nor is it a RAM buffer problem.
I am using the latest codecs from Avid on an Intel/MacPro machine running Leopard/AE CS4, but I have also had this problem using a powerPC mac too.
Any Windows users ever see this before?
My advice is to NOT use this codec when trying to render lengthy, complicated HD animations. Maybe the good folks at Avid will fix this someday, but for now I have to resort to the good 'ol animation codec for import into an AVID DS. (otherwise I might use the Apple ProRes codec)
thanks for all your help, CowGurus!
