Davinci Resolve 12 - DNxHR to Avid

[Christoffer Glans]

I rendered out a grade to DNxHR and when I try to import it into Avid Media Composer 8.1 it is green. Is Resolve actually making true DNxHR?
Why can't I use it in Avid?

Opening the same file back into Resolve works, but no where else, not even quick time player.

Do you export the .ale and AAF with your file?

I'm not sure how that's gonna help? I'm exporting a quicktime DNxHR file at UHD resolution. It should work as AMA-link in Avid, that didn't work so I tried import it and it could import it, but then the footage is just green. Shouldn't be a difference in codec since the DNxHR codec is the same in both Resolve and Avid.

...it works for us I'll ask my DIT (teck Wizz) to look at this thread

Whenever I've exported DNxHD, I've had to use Data levels (not the usual Video levels), but this to me sounds like a YUV vs. RGB problem. Check your settings in both programs and see how the video needs to be interpreted.

Stupid question but shouldn't you be using MC 8.4.x?

It's not that, the Data and Video levels only affect the black and white point of the image and incorrect values create incorrect images, but you would still see them after import.

My version is MC 8.3.0, which supports DNxHR (I can create projects and work with it, but not import the same codec from Resolve). You mean that there was an update to the codec in MC 8.4.0?

 

[Noah Gould]

Don't have much advice other than the obvious: make sure your codec pack is up-to-date?

I'm glad to see other people using DNxHR. I'd love to see more support for it because its an awesome codec. If you can find a decent way of playing it back it looks gorgeous at full resolution.

I think it could be a great high data rate final delivery format. And a great alternative to 4k pro-res.

Plus you can convert R3Ds to DNxHR and they are still very gradable and editable.

I think you need to be on 8.4.

Im no where near my Avid studio but I do recall that you need 8.4.x.

I could be wrong.

And I'll tell you again this could well be a YUV vs. RGB problem. I've seen it many, many times in traditional post.
