Import from Avid Liquid 7.2 to Final Cut

When I try to save in quicktime from Avid Liquid 7.2 and then move to the Mac and import into Final Cut 6.0.3 I have a problem. The files go into bins but will not render and they fail on the time line.

Has any one been able to to this?

Maybe you're using an Avid codec inside that quicktime movie that you don't have on your mac.
From my experience, the best way to exchange files between PC and Mac is using Uncompressed or PhotoJPG. Not sure, but I think these are the only codecs that work on both sides (except if you have Avid Xpress or MC on the Mac).

L.R.

Edit - OK, DivX, Sorenson and H264 will work too, but you don't want compression for editing, right?

You need to download the Avid QuickTime codec then you'll be fine.

Oops... I thought it only came with Avid software...
Cool, that way will be easier for him.

I don't think it will work with Avid Liquid, only with Avid Express Pro, Media Composer and New Cutter!
