This IS the Avid L2: Re: [Avid-L2] working directly with Avid mxf files in other programs

Suggestion: instead of recording to 1:1 and transcoding, just record directly to ProRes MXF. Then you can export same-as-source, and it will be a rewrap to MOV.

I'm using an older Media Composer to capture 1:1 lossless NTSC for archival purposes. For this project the preservation format or digital master will be ProRes. I'd like to be able to distribute the processing ie. not tie up the Avid for transcoding but keep it free to do capture. Is there a way to skip the "export to Qt" step and work directly with the mxf "capture" files? (1 video & 2 audio in Premiere for example?)

No luck thus far with Premiere CC ("The importer reported a generic error"). I posted this on Creative Cow and one suggestion was exporting an AAF... in Premiere CC an empty seq will come in but no media and same error when I try to relink. Someone else suggested "Calibrated{Q} XD - Snow Leopard" probably should not expect it to work on a Mac running 10.8.5

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
