[Avid-L2] Re: QT Ref Death

 

So this has been on my mind as I'm about to uninstall my old CS6 from my home system and pony up for a subscription Adobe Suite primarily for AME use.  I've been using AME 2015.X at work with QT Ref files with reasonable success.  There are some quirks to Full Range vs. Legal with Avid DNx media but ProRes is solid on levels.

I knew there was a point where Adobe stopped supporting some codecs but I can't recall which codecs or what version.  So from your post QT Ref broke in Adobe Media Encoder 2019 does that mean it still worked in 2018? 

As I venture into the present Adobe subscription world at home I have read I can run older versions as needed.  I assume once I sign up I can choose a previous version of AME that suits my needs.  I'm going to google but this thread seems to encompass my main concern about QT Ref.

Can anyone confirm QT Ref still works in AME 2018?

I do have VideoToolshed mp4 to .mov formerly Go Pro to QTmac and I use that to take AME h_264 files to .mov.  My limited understanding is that is a a more thorough conversion than just changing the extension.  That's been working for me at work.  Given I always have an upper track safe color render the QT Ref is more applicable in my workflows.

Have you tried the highest rated email app?

Quickest for me atm (50i project) is dnx85 MXF export to a MXFtoMP4 watch folder.

Mostly I'm actually using XAVC-L25 export to AME watch folder as AME will upload to Vimeo too.

Slower output from Avid though, plus AME has to wait for export to finish while Bouke's app works on the growing file.

Timeline DNxHD 100.  Yes I render out effects
and transcode as need be.

In the past I would then Output/Send to/Make new for a QT Ref.
I guess I'll need to revert to previous version of AME.
Until that is broken by an OS update, etc..

Ugh.

Mxf export is pretty fast, but not 'no render.'  Even fully rendered single-clip red doesn't work anymore.

I have been using AME lately to process QT Ref out of Avid.

The clock, of course, is ticking.  I upgraded to AME 2019
and found it no longer recognizes QT Ref files.

Has anyone found a workaround?
Any other codecs support making a reference file,
so we don't have to fully render an output?
