Re: [Avid-L2] working directly with Avid mxf files in other programs

If you want to distribute the processing, do QuickTime Reference files, which point to the original digitized media, and use a separate app on the machine to do the transcodes, like Squeeze Pro, or worst case scenario, QuickTime Pro.

If you need to move to another machine, do Same as Source exports to quicktime, which will not be as fast as the QuickTime Reference, but will be moveable to another computer. Then on the other machine you can transcode.

Note, I believe some versions of Sorrenson Squeeze don't support ProRes, but are upgradeable to allow this.

Paul,

I wonder if AJA's VTR Exchange app will recognize your Mojo SDI? It's worth a try, because you could record straight to ProRes files that way.

Download, open, and if you can see signal, then it works. I doubt that it will, but a free download is worth a shot.

Thanks Curtis & Mark,

Sadly I'm using an old Avid MC with Mojo SDI and I think one has to be using MojoDx to capture to ProRes. If I see a potential "volume" business I will get a new box that will do ProRes natively. I'd first would like to get my head around what software will work with Avid MXF files, anyone know?

Thanks,

Paul

FWIW, you could dub to AJA KiPro, or any other file recorder, instead of dubbing to MC. I realize that may be added cost to a simple project that already has a paid-for Avid. But it's also a one-step solution. Then all you'd have to do is rename the files and copy to archive storage media.

I'm using an older Media Composer to capture 1:1 lossless NTSC for archival purposes. For this project the preservation format or digital master will be ProRes. I'd like to be able to distribute the processing ie. not tie up the Avid for transcoding but keep it free to do capture. Is there a way to skip the "export to Qt" step and work directly with the mxf "capture" files? (1 video & 2 audio in Premiere for example?)
