I've been having an issue the past few months. I've looked into it but it seems I can't find anything on my own. So I wanted to bring the question to you guys. My friends here on the org.
The Explanation:
I got so used to making fake avi's and doing scripts that way when it came to preparing my footage. But thanks to my job I haven't been able to keep track. Sounds like a lame excuse I know but bare with me. It seems fake AVI's don't work anymore and are met by harsh resistance by my editor either not recognizing them AT ALL or it being riddles with errors upon being opened to edit with. I'm also curious as how you guys do it with files such as MKV's, MP4's and regular AVI's. How would you go about converting and scripting those to a usable format? What programs would you use?
The only way I know how to deal with MKV's is to fraps them, then throw them in the editor save them as MP4 or another format of my choosing then convert it to a vob and then toss it in DGIndex and make my script that way. And I know it's not the proper way. There has to be something easier.
The question:
So can I get some info on this matter? I really need ot know how to do these things cause my editing is really suffering and the way I'm doing is more than likely wrong and very time consuming. So, can I get some help? How do you guys do it?
