- The mix&match feature of the Avid (e.g. MC4) assumes bringing in footage in corresponding projects. After that, you can instantly access that footage from any other project (or project type), and playback in real-time

- Your sequence setting is what you tell it. 1080i, 720p, 525i
whathaveyou. And whatever clip you add to that that ISNT that format, gets scaled to that format
using a filter called a MOTION ADAPTER. This add interpolation to match the sequence settings, and this is added automatically when you add new footage that doesnt match. And there are all sorts of interpolation modes
these are all user selectable. AND you can change your sequence settings to match something else later.
- If you want the interpolation to better then you can promote the motion adapter to a full blown TIME WARP (that has been there for many years) and the footage will benefit more.
- Works in software-only (no Mojo required) and takes advantage of multi-core (e.g. 8 core)
- Avids open timeline implementation is much better than FCPs. Avid MC automatically adds a plugin that is designed to do this upscale in very smart ways. It isnt just scaling it and then repeating a frame.
- The editor does need to have certain switches turned on to see the highest quality output, such as: -Full Quality 10bit output, -HQ RT Scaling Decoder, -Advanced Polyphase image interpolation.
- For example: “you will have to import NTSC clips in an NTSC project and 720p60 clips in a 720p60 project. If you try to import 720p60 files into a 30i project, you will be downconverting upon import, which is not as nice, and will not be able to handle certain metadata correctly”
