Hi Yes just downloaded latest free Resolve - never used it before. I'm just dragging the file into the bin area on left? Are there extra codecs to install as an option? It plays the DNxHR HQX transcode fine (far far better than juddery frame dropping Avid in fact...). I cant seem to link it to industry standard Sony FS7 footage even - it always

Its the Mavic 2 Pro. It will do an UHD H264 codec too in 8 bit non log.

Thanks Andi - what you say makes sense having seen some Avid bandwidth spec here: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/White_Paper/DNxHR-Codec-Bandwidth-Specifications I just tried Resolve (and yes that drag/scroll in the bin thumbnail is a BRILLIANT function Peter). Sadly it doesnt seem to like my H265 source and states 'media offline'

Thanks for running with me on this guys! I have checked the Avid DnX format's specified "12bit" for DNxHR HQX and what i get out from Shutter Encoder is 10 bit: Curiously the end filesize is the same for DNxHR HQX and DNxHR HQ (8 bit). Have set it to generate an Op Atom mxf - however the output doesnt play nicely in my Avid. It runs the

I think you are right my friend. Long GOP H265 is the best algorithm there is at the moment I think - my AVC intra on my current Sony pro camera is H264, as was my 10 year old Panasonic P2 AVC camera! Can you tell me why you think the Shutter Encoder DNxHR type HQX is 10 bit - the spec seems to say 12 bit for DNxHR type HQX ? I lavishly praised Avid

Cheers Carl - very much appreciated mate! It works but produces DNxHR HQX intra files 10 times bigger than the H265. These barely play! It ups the 10 bit source to 12 bit (which isnt really possible of course) creating huge files and pointless fro my 10bit Symphony? Anyone know why there isnt a 10 bit option in DNxHR? Same as source bitrate...? Thanks

I tried FFMpeg but this will not convert to DNX or any pro intra codec, same as Hanbrake. Its a but frustrating as DJI say in the manual that Premiere and FCP support H265 10 bit log wrapped as MP4 - but Avid is yet to catch up? Thanks for any advice.

Just tried linking to my new drone's H265 footage (HEVC) and it doesnt even see it :-( Thanks

Phil, you have a very strong insight to the industry and tech - quite remarkable given your age and limited experience and very positive However you are still going against some of the essence of this thread really. The whole point was how well Avid was coping with so much stuff in an ONLINE (stop saying offline!) environment. And I am my own online

Philip You could well be right that getting stuff out in Avid is now easier and better with the new media engine - but I'll give that one a while before switching personally. Its intriguing hearing an individual so young have such a good grasp of large scale enterprise infrastructure and functionality! Symphony is pretty good for grading to a point
