Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I have received a video file exported from Avid as a Quicktime movie in AVdn codec and it imports as audio only. Premiere gives me the following error message: Unable to import video. File uses unsupported video compression type "AVdn".
I went to avid.com and downloaded AvidCodecsLE. Installed and restarted computer and Premiere. Premiere will still only import audio.
Media Encoder also sees the file as audio only, no video.
Quicktime can open it by converting it to H.264. But I don't want to edit in H.264. It goes from being a 42 GB file to a 5.5 GB file. I need a high resolution file.
A third party software Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate will convert it to ProRes, which I can import, but it's not a very clean conversion. There are artifacts. I'd rather edit from the client's color corrected masters.
Can anyone offer a suggestion as to how I can load the AVdn codec file into Premiere Pro to edit?
I am using Premiere 13.0.1 on a Mac, OS 10.13.6.
Many thanks,
