Media Composer 1:1 to FCP

Media Composer 1:1 to FCP
by Farid Haeri on Jun 9, 2008 at 4:22:25 pm

i have an 80 min project done in avid M composer.
the seq is all strait cuts but fully subtitled, and almost no other effects involved.
i'm planing to do the online on FCP and my media files are all captured at 1:1 (in avid), will Automatic Duck work with 1:1 and transfer everything with no problem? (i'm trying to avoid recapturing).
many thanks in advanced
Farid

You can "Use existing media", however you will probably have to render everything in your timeline since the sequence preset's codec won't match.

Many thanks Wes;
does it mean any lost in quality? (i'm planing to do my color correction in FCP using the "imported" media)
is there any thing i should consider before buying the automatic duck?
thanks again for you time and advice
Farid

When you render the codec used is that of the sequence settings. So if you lose quality and how much will depend on what your sequence settings are.

The best thing to do it recapture in FCP.
