computer says no

Depressed again.

Think I am forced to edit on the Avids at UTS, seeing as though my single screen at home on Final Cut Pro is a bit too cramped, and I keep on moving windows around which is very frustrating.

Also, did not realise that when you export files out of Avid into Quicktime .mov files, they are Avid-encoded. I can't for the life of me find the codecs to play the stupid files. Even the Avid codecs on their own website didn't help!

I truly believe I am doing something wrong - or there is some higher power that does not want me to edit. Or they want me to edit at UTS.

They're there, do a search on avid + codec.

If it's the DV one you're after, just download Avid Free DV from AVID.

One extra advantage is that it's theoretically possible to edit with avid files in a FCP timelime. Haven't done it myself with Avid, but it does work with other edit applications.
