Re: [Avid-L2] IMX files with 4 audio tracks

Nope.

Quicktime is a very handy format to change attributes in a destructive way. Other formats are way more difficult in that aspect.

(The destructive part is what makes QTchange so popular, it's fast...)

MXF is a tricky one. Lots of flavours, and most of the time high compatibility issues.

So i sometimes do custom work on MXF, but it's hard to satisfy every possible target.

(Especially if people start brining in Baton stuff.)

Will qt change open mxf?

I love qtchange I recently had hours of natural history rushes where the director was talking to himself in pretty bad language - stay there eat now oh for &&&$& sake you @@&@&( and so on.

Good laugh during edit until client requested a copy of the rushes! Qtchange delete audio done.

Depending on compatibility issues, you could use FFmbc to copy video / first 4 audio and rewrap it in a new MXF file.

Or, if you want to spend money, Episode or something might be able to do it.

HI there,

We have a client that wants XDCAM delivery with only 4 audio tracks. How would we do this? We can't export .MXF files other than XDCAM and we can't chose the number of audio tracks… What could we use?

Thanks

NIge
