Working with 25 progressive in Avid Xpress 4.3

Re: Working with 25 progressive in Avid Xpress 4.3

Hi Tom,

I was hoping that MichaelP was right, but everyone is pretty pissed over at www.avid.com forum for Xpress Pro as they are all having the same issue over 25p and 28:1 resolution - no other options available.

There was a bit of "hopeful" talk that Avid might make a fix for it though. Fingers crossed.
 
Re: Working with 25 progressive in Avid Xpress 4.3

Oh....if you say so movieman, my "dv25 resolution in a 25p project" hopes are just vanishing. Bitter, bitter, bitter. :-/

I just hope that the new Avid xpress pro 4.5 that apeared at the NAB will solve the problem. And i also hope that we that have the precedent avdi xpres pro version could upgrade free.

MichaelP, you that are at the NAB, can you say to the avid stand that its shame on the "top" NLE company not to have DV25 resolution in a 25p project.

Hej Pawel! can you give the internet adress where one can download the avid upgrade? 1104.1.1

I personally have the 4.3 which my hated swedish avdi support syas its the last upgrade. But ...WHo know maybe this 1104.1.1 will solve my problem.
I hope someone with more experience in 25p can help you with your problem.

Re: Working with 25 progressive in Avid Xpress 4.3

Hi, if you take this file and put it in your avid xpress pro folder, under supporting files / video resolutions, you'll get 25p capture in full resolution. You can upload it right here at my page. Hopefully it will work, and Avid wouldn't sue me...

Do this at your own risk, it don't think it will get you into trouble, but you'll never know... 8)

Re: Working with 25 progressive in Avid Xpress 4.3

There is no resolution loss when working in 25p when you actually have the proper DV25 resolution installed. See:
http://support01.avid.com/support/ProdRef.nsf/AdminProbSolByProduct/9186 132DF5330C5C85256E8400599D1C?OpenDocument

The reason to use 25p is because all renders of any moving effect such as wipes, picture in picture etc. are all done at 1/25th instead of 1/50th and field based. This will preserve the progressive cadence of the source material. Working at DV25 resolution in a 25p project is the exact same quality as a 25i project with the added benefits of preserving progressive all the way through post. This is expecially true if there is an intention to do a film out at the end of the process.

28:1 is available as an offline resolution. It gives you 5 times more storage for the same amount of footage. FOr large film projects it is useful to maximize drive space then you can recapture at DV25 as you lock picture. DV25 and 28:1 can live in the same timeline and both play back in real time with no rendering.
