Working PIX-E5 4K ProRes in Avid Media Composer

Avid MC won't import 4K videos from PIX-E5? The easy workaround is to transcode PIX-E5 4K ProRes to DNxHD in proper settings. Here is a quick-stare guide. 

Compact and powerful, the Video Devices PIX-E5 5" 4K Recording Video Monitor can record DCI 4K an UHD 4K (4096 x 2160) video over HDMI and 6G-SDI to SpeedDrive SSDs in the Apple ProRes format at frame rates up to 30 fps. However, compatibility issue is quite common in the video world, which is also true to the stunning 4K Prores codec captured by PIX-E5. In this article, we will talk about the ultra high video resolution 4K Prores and Avid MC workflow. If you're planning to import PIX-E5 4K Prores video to Avid Media Composer 8/7/6/5 for editing, read on to find something you need.



Searching online, some guys mentioned ProRes workflow on Media Composer. Yes, ProRes can be used in Avid Media Composer with AMA. As far as I know things are a little more complicated with ProRes. Actually, it's too long for AMA to be effective I tried it. Becides, AMA linking to the ProRes QT files will not allow for the clips to be consolidated. Something else, there's actually no way to edit a 4K project natively with Avid MC. In most cases, editing 4K in Avid Media Composer is very taxing on your computer. In order to work PIX-E5 4K Prores footage in Avid MC smoothly, a better way is to transcode 4K ProRes to a more "edit" friendly codec- DNxHD(1080p would be the best settings).
