Re: [Avid-L2] FFmpeg for the rest of us?

After Effects will import and display FLV or F4V which you can then render to anything. I assume Adobe Media Encoder will do the same. Probably Premiere as well?

I personally use Episode Pro to do this.

If it is a .f4v (H.264) you can just change the .f4v postfix to .mp4, and then Quicktime (without Perian) will open it.

What is the Perian levels issue? The only reference I can find via google is some kind of AMA import luminance problem. Is that what you are referencing? I've not seen any issues with Perian and Apple or Adobe apps.

Thanks,

James
