Re: [Avid-L2] Re: M4ROOT and AMA

Mr. Spano suggested to me to get the Sony Catalyst Browser. Media Info doesn't show XAVC S in my experience. I believe it shows it as XAVC long gop. The Sony Catalyst will show XAVC S in my recent experience. Our Cameraperson is of the opinion shooting XAVC S gives more picture information that the other choices on the camera so even though we can't ama to it he insists on shooting it to that format.

Again Mr. Spano found some specs that seem to agree with the Camerapersons approach. So transcoding we are.

Not sure about XAVC-S. I've been working recently with footage from Sony A7S cameras and I can AMA to the footage using the method above. I'll double check what Avid and MediaInfo is reporting the files are tomorrow and reply.

What if the material is XAVC S? My understanding is that media will not ama. I recently had XAVC S and in the clips folder it was .mp4. If I changed the extension to .m4v it's still XAVC S video essence. I wouldn't think that would ama. Or does it?

Lou,

Navigate to the .mp4 files in the M4Root directory. Rename the extensions to .m4v (select all > right click > rename items), now you can AMA to them and transcode within Avid - no external solutions required.

Thanks

Sounds like a great program. I am on Mac though, you are right. I used Premiere which seems to take anything. Exported media to prores. Sooner or later I'll just edit these types of projects in AP but not there yet.

Lou,

I believe you are on Mac, but if you could get your hands on a PC, you could use Convert 4 from hdcinematics.com. There is a conversion setting "wrap to mov" that will output your XAVC-S mp4s to mov files that can be linked to. AFAIK no transcode involved and very fast.
There is a trial version of Convert 4 with a limit of 2 files per session. But PC only.
