Re: [Avid-L2] Quicktime Export

It depends on if you want to continue editing. If you want a straight QT file (non-Avid codec) then choose the QT choice, but then select something like the Animation codec, which will give you an enormous file size, but high quality. I don't know what your choices are, so I can't really advise what the best option is. If you're going to keep editing outside Avid for some reason, then I wouldn't go for h.264.

The big thing for compatability on another computer is to just NOT use same as source. Same as source is what I almost always choose though because it's fast and I simply want to have a real file (not a ref) that I can convert in Adobe Media Encoder or Squeeze or even Elgato Turbo .264 right on the same machine. But if a client wants a high quality "master" file, I'll export as something like Animation codec QT.

Steve,
I think I now understand. I usually use qt ref then put in Sorenson Squeeze but I thought this would be better. I thought the QT Movie setting was a general QT File
In the Avid Export QT movie. I have a bunch of Avid Choices. Pal , Then I get to H264 that I know Final Cut will take. Or MPEG 4 Video. Then under motion selection. I chose Frame rate current. But what about Key Frames Choice Automatic? Every? All? and do I check or uncheck Frame reordering? Quality I chose "Best" this is for Broadcast. Data rate I chose "Automatic".

Size: I chose 1920X1080 HD
Then there is a choice of "preserve aspect ratio using Drop down menu: Letterbox, crop ,fit within dimensions . if needed.
OR you can check deinterlace source video. Or you can leave both unchecked.

For Audio: It come up Liner PCM
I have :ACC , Apple Lossless,
for rate it chose 48KB
Render settings best
and it recommended 64 as target rate.

This needs to open on a Final Cut program.
Do you have any suggestions? Does this seem correct?
Thank You, Larry
