Re: [Avid-L2] Re: transcode vs import

Haven't tried it with that in mind, but I don't think so. Running log output and all the other machines are off just now...

However, today, I test that theory going from h.264 to 2:1 SD, and did not have the 'faster' experience. That's just one case, though- usually it does go much faster to transcode from AMA than to import. And, in fact, some things I don't even bother to transcode- for example, if you render out of after effects to an avid QuickTime codec- AMA saves the time of even a 'fast import,' with no performance hit I can see.
