Re: [Avid-L2] moving AMA sequence from HD to 2K/4K/etc.

 

MC 8.3 gave us all the UHD, 2K and 4k specific sizes...Yes it's as simple as changing the format, and the project then uses that res.  Depending on your hardware, it can be graceful, or not.

My experience is that with a NitrisDX appliance, the switching is all rather smooth. (though of course monitoring still is at HD res. only).

When using Aja Kona3, you have to convince the AVID i/o to change res, which is sometimes a bit squirrelly. (Turn down your audio board, it pops very loud when switching.)

It was v 8.4 that gave us variable raster sizes.  I haven't had the chance to play with that just yet.  Production house I am working at doesn't have it in use yet.  Haven't had time to bring it up on my home system, which is usually running software only.

I'm curious if it is as simple as it appears taking a sequence that is
AMA-linked from an HD project to a 2K or 4K project.

Let's say I have a bin with some AMA 4K clips and a cut sequence in an
HD project, and open it in a 4K project. Does the sequence
automatically take on the 4K resolution? Is there any reframing of the
source clips in the sequence? What if the aspect ratio changes -- ie.
from HD to 2K, or HD to full 4K (rather than quadHD)?

Appreciate any pointers to gotchas in this process...

Also, at what point did MC get arbitrary project sizes? I don't think
it was in 8.0, but a later revision -- maybe 8.3?

Thanks,
