Hi everyone. Im trying to film a sample footage with hvx200 in 720p mode and with 50 frame rate. My problem is once i edit the sample footage on avid mc and export it i cant view or open it with any player.(I have to inform this is the first HD stuff im being involved). I export it as quicktime refer. or quicktime mov. format but i cant view them.So does anyone know why is this happening?

ps: and would i be able to burn this footage on to a a simple dvd with DVDit pro HD? (because i need a preview copy of the sample which has to be in a dvd format)
thx
 
well im not capturing the footage its on FS100 harddrive i took some footage and put it on the timeline and edited it. (and no i didnt open it in the N mode) as far as i remember it was the 720 25p mode and with the 50 frame rate it converted it to 25 frames so it played normally. could it be something to do with the frame rate etc?
ps: yes both files didnt open under quicktime Eric Papa
 
check your quicktime version. avid doesn't work with 7.5 or higher.

transcode your footage to MXF before exporting. it's a little secret avid doesn't like to tell a lot of ppl. 720p doesn't trasncode on import into avid, it stays as dvcpro hd, and avid wasn't built to work with that codec. if u were working w/ 1080 it would let u transcode on import. for some reason it doesn't let u w/ 720. i just found that out today, it was wild.
 
I did what you said and it worked perfect xmephestox but when i transcode the dvcpro hd format to dn hd mxf at first i cant see any problems but when it comes to making a dvd copy ( i need a dvd copy of the project) the footage seems really bad, looks very distorted.Could that be because of the transcoding quality settings or something else?
i used dvdit 6 making the dvd, maybe i should have used dvdit pro hd

thx
 
make sure ur doing a high quality mxf file. dn hd mxf 220 is usually what i have it at, that's the highest quality mxf i believe. there are a million ways to keep the top quality, i tend to do it the long way just because i'm really anal about the quality myself. mixdown your audio and video on a separate export for safety measures and just export it out uncompressed as a quicktime. make sure all ur resolutions are set correctly. for a dvd i'd put it out through compressor first (u can google online for settings of your choice) and then bring it into dvd studio pro or whatever program u may use. realize that dvds do high compression on the film too, so u really gotta mess around with the bitrate and everything. let me know how things turn out or if u need any other info.
 
well actually the quality was bad on the editing system when i wanted to preview it but when i came home and checked it on tv it looked great (weird). The main problem is on both systems i watched the dvd (pc, tv) the aspect ratio seemed twice as it should have been.It is 16:9 but it looks like a anamorphic ratio and everyone in the footage is squeezed thats the only problem now ;)
 
hey i know its stupid what im goig to say but i have to , i never tried the slow motion , actualy i did record 1080i/60 but i couldnt get the slow motion so i just give up cause i didnt need it , but if you can show me how i'll be greatefull , now i need it.....
