DNxHD footage

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had any DNxHD footage that they would be willing to upload somewhere for testing purposes only. A minute of material would be great. Frame rate doesn't matter. Any HD format. I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Tom, do you need native camera footage or is transcoded material OK? I could export an H264 or ProRes clip from Premiere to DNxHD.

Transcoded is fine.

This is 1.15 GB, 60 sec of 1080p/29.97 DNxHD at SQ quality, transcoded from Sony 4k/29.97 XAVC-S: tbf.me/a/hpMLe

Let me know if you need anything else. You can send me a Facebook message.

Thank you very jpema. Very kind of you to go to this trouble.

BTW I just checked the encoded footage, it will play in VLC not Quicktime. Won't import to FCPX 10.4.8, but will import to Premiere and Resolve. Re-wrap with EditReady2 adds a QT wrapper but it still won't import to FCPX. There are many DNxHD export presets. Let me try a few more things...

Tom, if your goal is an editable file in FCPX, I'm not sure what flavor of DNxHD is required. I tried OP1A, OPAtom, DNxHR SQ, DNxHD 10 bit, etc, but none will import. I tried both FCPX 10.4.6 and 10.4.8 on both Mojave and Catalina, with latest Apple Pro Video formats. Obviously people are using that otherwise the initial statement (and later retraction) of dropping DNxHD support in Catalina would not have been an issue.

If you can tell me what DNxHD parameters are needed, I will do that.

It's possible an Avid codec pack is needed, e.g: avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Downlo...-QuickTime-Codecs-LE

OP1A would be great. It's taking we a while to download. Seem to have internet issues at the moment. I had some DNxHD in Mojave that worked in 10.4.6. Wonder if the new Pro Video Formats changed something.

Tom here is a 30sec clip for you to test on your system,
it was shot XAVC Intra @ 4k 25p Slog, converted to DNxHD OP1A in Avid media composer,
i can import into FCPX 10.4.8 with no issue.

The one your are downloading is OP1A, however on my machines only Premiere or Resolve will import it. I don't have any Avid codecs installed. I'm using Pro Video Formats 2.1.1, which is the latest.

It's in an MXF wrapper but inside that is the DNxHD codec. The question is where support from that comes from. I thought it was in Pro Video Formats but maybe that changed or maybe only specific flavors are supported.

Thanks joema. I'll see what happens. Might have to wait till I can get a Mojave machine.

Thanks Ian. If you could leave it there for a couple of weeks that would be great. I just started a long trip and wouldn’t have computer access for a while. If you can’ti understand, but thank you very much for your kind offer.

No problem

Thank you very much Ian.
