Re: [Avid-L2] Latest Adobe loses support for Avid Meridian Codec?

 

Isn't the Avid Generic PlugIn the new Avid engine?  I've read here that it works but sometimes is problematic and in some cases forcing Avid to use a more specific ama plug in when it defaults to the Avid Generic can alleviate some issues.  I don't recall specifically which ama plugins work better than the Avid default Generic.

Adobe has started to use its own engine instead of The old 32 Bit Quicktime engine.  They built in support for popular Quicktime codecs, like ProRes, but they have not built in support for every legacy codec.

NOTE: this does not affect Avid DNXHD codecs.  Only the old Meridien SD codec.

If you are on Mac, Pro Res is fine for SD material.  Its not just for HD or higher.   Adobe really likes GoPro Cineform, which is cross platform and comparable to ProRes and DNX in quality.

Avid is also moving to their own engine, right...or have they done that already?

I saw this on the DS List.

"Adobe has dropped support for the Meridien 32 bit legacy codecs with CC 2018. Unfortunately we used Meridien compressed a lot to deliver to our Avid editors and to render footage from XDCam to use in various projects. I don't think Resolve will load them either, at least it won't recognize the test.mov I've tried to import. The sticky thing is I won't know when I'll need a file we've saved in this codec again. Any suggestions for what I can use to convert them. Until I find a solution I'm sticking to AE version 15.0.0."

Is there any nerdy technical reason for?  I know tech moves on etc... and I keep hearing how QT is going away at some point.  Is this change related to changes in Mac OS and or PC OS?
