[Avid-L2] ATL Area Job Posting (Pro Tools ACI)
Hi Avid-L2 folks!
About 4 months ago I started a new position at Georgia Film Academy (GFA), which is adjacent to Pinewood Studios, as head of their post production education. The GFA has a couple of divisions. One is essentially university students, and the other is Professional Education (ProEd) which provides intensives for people to get a lot of information in a relatively short period of time (like Moviola in Los Angeles does, or Future Media Concepts in NYC does, for example).
GFA is expanding from just Avid Media Composer into adding Pro Tools, so they are searching for a Pro Tools Avid Certified Instructor(s) for both divisions. The first priority is an ACI for the 16 week class of university students. The job search information is below. Feel free to share it with any people, groups, or forums you think would have interest. Please do not include my contact information – please share only the information following my signature, below.
Much appreciated!
Cheers,
Benjamin

Re: [Avid-L2] Black Magic Express Stutters on H_264 playback?

No, of course not. How old are you?
ProResHQ is a codec, MXF is a container. Don't compare apples to oranges.
Would this work with a QT Reference file that was referencing Avid renderered ProResHQ?
No, of course not, as a QT file is not a MXF file.
Also can it put in Time Code Burn In.
That is not supported. This thing was created to AMA in GoPro footage, without transcoding. The rest is bonus / spin off.
I do have MakeTranscriberFiles that can do this, but, that one does NOT (yet) take MXF sources that are in the making.
(Well, it does, but if the transcode is faster than the MXF creation, it will fail.)

[Avid-L2] 4k help
We are chugging along in HD on unsupported MC v8.1.
We will continue to broadcast our low budget HD program on small
local stations here in Japan, but I'd like to move to 4K shooting
to be able to take advantage cropping & resizing in edit without
loss of HD quality -- lock down a wider shot on two people and be
able to crop out an HD head and shoulders shot of each
individual, etc. Yes, I know the aesthetics suck, but that's
where our budget is at.
We now shoot with Canon XF305 and XF105.
This gives us a really good workflow, as the Canon codec just
plays without any fuss in MC.
I realize I have to upgrade computers (we're Mac based) and MC,
but can anyone tell me what set up I would need (hardware and MC
version) to take UHD 4K clips from a low end camera like an XF705
or even a Canon XC15, and get the same playback performance we
get in HD with XF305 clips? Is it even possible?
Sorry, we're so low end I haven't been keeping up at all on 4K
chatter.
Appreciate any advice.
