RE: [Avid-L2] Does and Avid or any DPX sequence handle audio?

 

I'm told by the Netflix folks that the facility that is making the IMF file will not accept my Avid DNxHRHQX .mov with 8 channels of audio.  I'm told they will only take .dpx sequences.  This is after I already sent them a DNxHRHQX .mov that they are successfully using for review and to prep the project.  I was also told by the Netflix folks that facikity does use Clipster and that it doesn't handle Avid DNxHRHQX,  which I took to mean Clipster doesn't handle DNxHR codecs.  Can you clarify this for me?  Could it be that DNxHR is a paid option they don't have at the facility or does clipster truly not support the Avid DNxHR codec?

DPX sequences are mute. You need to save the audio as a separate file / files that the receiving system can play.

 

If you are going to Netflix it is likely going via a R&S Clipster and that can read Avid OP Atom files and audio files so you could do a Video Mixdown to a clean drive and try sending them that.

 

Could save you a lot of time.

As I'm testing the dpx file export on Avid 8.5.2 I'm setting to RGB 10bit keep levels as legal.  Netflix want BT.709 files.  I also checked use selected tracks and I've selected Video and audio 8 channels.  The resulting file when I link ama to the dpx sequence is video only.  I tried a dpx export with only the audio channels selected but I get a prompt that the export format requires video on every frame or some such prompt.  So is dpx an audio less format?  I guess even though Avid has a check box for use marks and one for selected tracks it's probably referring to the video tracks.

What is the standard for including audio for a dpx sequence?
