Hi,
I'm gonna be working with some DNXHD and Prores media originating from an Atmos Shogun recorder. However, when I casually mentionned that the footage was gonna be edited on a PC avid system, I've ben told that it was a terrible idea, since Prores is only supported on Avid via Quictime, which is still running on PC as a 32 bit server.
SO, I've been told, my Prores footage is gonna be terribly slow, if imported and kept as such (ie:not transcoded).
SO first question, since I know that Avid have their own QT codecs which now allow fast importing of Prores ffotage directly into MC, do these codecs still use the QT 32 bit server?
Or do they somehiow bypass the QT server and are supported directly in the application (even without quicktime installed)
Second question: since my other kind of media is gonna be DNXHD wrapped into a MOV container (thus needing QT to play), will I encounter the same limitations. Same questions as before apply.
All in one, if all my editing is gonna be DNXHD and Prores based, am I better off editing on a Mac where the X63 version of the QT server is supported? (and as a bonus I can encode Prores straight from Avid, which is not supported on windows).
Thanx for any feedback...
