Re: FCP Coded for Avid
by Michael Hancock on May 5, 2008 at 1:29:35 pm

There's no plugin, because you don't need one. What you need to do is export a quicktime in a codec that is available on the Avid system.

For example, ProRes, Apple's version of Avid's DNxHD codec, is only installed when FCP is installed. It's not a codec open to anyone who wants to download it, so if you get a ProRes quicktime you'll be out of luck importing it into your Avid.

Request an Animation or Uncompressed quicktime, or better yet have them install the Avid codecs on their machine and export to an Avid codec that matches the footage. For example, if they have DVCProHD footage have them export to the Avid DV100 codec or one of the DNxHD codecs. If it's standard def, export to a Meridian Uncompressed. This will give you a nice looking file and the import will be faster.

Does this help?

Michael.
