Re: [Avid-L2] All Yahoo Groups content to be deleted...

 

Keoni,  I'm guessing that Avid never tried to get you fired from your
job for something you said about one of their products.  I've been part
of this community since the last millennium.  The less control Avid,
Inc. has over it the better.   --J.B.

Re: [Avid-L2] Custom H_264 .mov export taking 4096_2160 to 1920_1080 LB from Avid?

 

Why would one still use the obsolete QT export?

It's slow, and for H264 it's the worst encoder out there.

FFmpeg is WAY better, and you can use my front end to transcode from MXF to H(x) 264 while the MXF is still in the making, so it takes little (Few seconds) to no time extra.

Get my MXFtoMp4 app and toy around, the water is sweat!

(and if it does not work for you, send me a PM and I'll make it work!)

I rarely use Avid to directly export other than a same as source or a QT Ref that I can still take into my older copy of Adobe Media Encoder at work to make specific files to delivery specs.

I work on DCI 4096_2160 DNxHRHQX projects and today I was trying to do a custom export to H_264 and no matter how I set up the Avid height and width and then the QT Settings in format options I can't get it to export to an HD 1920_1080 with a letterbox to maintain aspect ratio.  If I export to H_264 4096_2160 .mov and then in QT Pro 7 use that and choose "Export" I can export and H_264 at 1920_1080 with a letterbox when I click the "Perserve Aspect Ratio by" and choose letter box.  So that works when it's done in QT Pro 7 but not when Avid is exporting through QT in Avid's Custom Export.  

Is there just no way through custom export to get it to letterbox the 1.90 aspect ratio into a 16:9 frame in one Avid export step.  I know this has always been an issue for me hence my adopting my QT Ref workflow and Adobe Media Encoder approach.  Am I missing something obvious?  It's like when Avid is using the QT Engine in a Custom export it doesn't access the functionality of the export features but only the save as function.  I'm sure that's not exactly what's happening but that's what it feels like.  Just like my exports I'm getting squeezed a bit.  ;-)

Why can't we hit up Avid CEO Jeff R and ask him to allow a semi-autonomous section of Avid's servers?

As it stands, Avid has veto oower power anyway (Marianne's 'ban hammer') -- so why not?

Can't complain.  I got to help design part of what might be the first US manned spacecraft in quite some time (Crew Dragon at SpaceX).  Currently working on robotics and other projects.

Thanks.

Re: [Avid-L2] All Yahoo Groups content to be deleted...

 

Speaking for me only,I treasure this list with a passion unbounded (not to get melodramatic). So if it's up for any version of a vote, I'm for anything that preserves the list's functionality and usability, while maintaining its reach to all current members. It has to be easily visible to and accessible to vital participants such as Marianna M and others at Avid.


Those are my two pesos.

Much obliged,

D

I agree I think OKI Dog would have to go out of business without all the Legacy Avid L-2 promotion I've done.
