Work PIX-E5 4K ProRes files with Avid Media Composer on Mac

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). 

Different from 720p/1080p videos, the conversion of 4K video is in a higher standard, a professional 4K Video Converter for Mac is what you need. Featured with the most advanced converting technology, Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac is now providing the most reliable and professional 4K solutions to all format issues including all types of Apple ProRes codecs like ProRes 4444, ProRes 422 (HQ), ProRes 422, ProRes 422 (LT), ProRes 422 (Proxy), 4K XAVC/XAVC S, 4K MP4, 4K MOV, 4K MXF, 4K H.2654K Blu-ray and more. 

As the best Apple ProRes decoder, it's able to convert PIX-E5 4K ProRes files to DNxHD video for Avid MC native editing. Besides, with it you can also convert PIX-E5 4K ProRes to any other video or audio formats including AVI, MP4, WMV, MOV, 3GP, MKV, VOB, FLV, AAC, MP3 and more.
