Re: Never a dull moment...

[Mike Most] "That's being very generous. I would say that once acquired by Apple, it was restricted to Apple's proprietary codecs only (the version of DVCProHD on the Mac was written by Apple), with all third party codecs cut out of the equation. "

And? How many of Apple's codecs does Avid, Quantel, and the other NLE's support?

I can play and even edit Avid DNxHD codec files in FCP, convert them to ProRes, send them to Color and even convert them back to Avid DNxHD if the client wants. There's workarounds to everything.

I'm hopeful that the next release of FCP / Color will accept the native P2 formats so we don't have to do the whole Log and Transfer deal and just import them directly from the drives.
