Final Cut™ users might consider MPEG2, DVCPRO HD, or the DV Quicktime codec (for SD clips
only, of course) as intermediate formats. In some cases you might be successful using SpeedEDIT
to convert QuickTime files that fail in the DDR (its Quicktime support is more extensive).
AVI
AVI codecs are plentiful. Most are suitable for DDR playback, a few are not. For a given clip to
play in the DDR, a corresponding 64bit codec needs to be available. However, we strongly
discourage installing ‘foreign’ codecs, codec packs and the like downloaded from internet sites,
etc.
For the sake of stability, if an AVI clip does not play well in the DDR, please consider converting it
to a ‘friendlier’ format. We can recommend NewTek’s own SpeedHQ, or perhaps DV (for
Standard Definition clips), M2T or MPG.
A.3.9 CHANGE COLORS FOR AN ENTIRE TITLE PLAYLIST AT ONCE?
You can quickly alter the default colors for a complete playlist of Title Pages in a Media Player
(such as Titles).
1. Select the button for the player containing the titles on the Preview row of the
Switcher .
2. Click the Configuration (gear) button for the player’s ISO monitor to access the Proc
Amp .
3. Click and drag the Hue slider left or right, swinging colors through the spectrum.
Observe that black and white graphics and titles are unaffected by the hue shift. In many cases,
this allows you to modify background imagery without any effect on text objects (which are often
white).
