I forgot if this should work: Avid/MXF->AE via QT Ref

[JanBee]

Sorry to ask this, but I'm beginning to go mad and I'm a bit under time pressure:

I think I already did that before, but right now I can NOT:

Export a Quicktime Reference with various MXF HVX footage (only) from latest AVID MC (same with XPRESS PRO) and import that QT Ref into After Effects; or even view the QT Reference in QT Player. QT says a codec is missing.

Not true, all AVID codecs are installed (and have been re-installed), P2-software has been re-installed, Avid works fine and reads my MXF files, and I can even watch my MXF's (without a Quicktime "coat") in Windows Media Player. Nonetheless: the Qucktime reference (pointing to MXF-files) is not readable by any application.

This should work, shouldn't it??? I'm damned sure I did this before...

Before I rip everything apart and build it up from scratch I just wanted to make sure that Quicktime reference files pointing to MXF files actually do work at all...

Thanks..

Ha! Of course it works. Has to have the USE AVID DV CODEC option checked in the export window of Avid->Exprot->Quicktime Reference (uses the Avid DV100 codes which is compatiple to DVXPROHD).

Oh really?

Thanks for the info, Jan. I'm glad there are so many experienced users here.
