Avid Media Composer - Now Working with Long-GOP at DVinfo.net

Dan Keaton · November 6th, 2010, 06:12 AM

Dear Friends,

I have received confirmation from one of our users that his Avid Media Composer 5.0.3.5 is working great with our nanoFlash files, including our Long-GOP files.

His editor has tested, among other things our Long-GOP files at 50, 80, 100, and 140 Mbps.

They ran out of time before testing 180 Mbps Long-GOP files, but they should work also.

Here is one quote from our user reporting the editor's comments:

"He has now put together a 10 minute sequence with the 140 MB MOV. files.

He has used dissolves, fades, cuts and color correction.

Scrubbed through the timeline and played it at normal speed. All without a single hiccup."

I believe the editor was using AMA, I will need to wait until Monday to confirm this.

Previously, our recommendation was to use our 50 Mbps Long-GOP or use I-Frame Only for any higher bit rates.

Now, our users have the option of using Avid 5.0.3.5 with our popular 100 Mbps Long-GOP files.

Hi Dan:
Have you got confirmation of this level of functionality from Avid as well ?

Dear Mark,

No, just Avid users, specifically Avid editors that have tested it.
