Please add support for more AVI codecs

Hi,

Now that integration between editing, coloring, audio and vfx is high on the agenda, I'm looking into switching my editing over to Resolve. I've been using Edius for years now with great satisfaction.
This also means that I have *tons* of AVIs in the Edius (Grassvalley/Canopus) codec.
These won't import into Resolve right now.
They do work flawlessy in Fusion and the codec is pretty good in storage/performance ratio.
If BMD wants more people to adopt Resolve, maybe adding support for codecs like these will help.

Which GV codec as HQ and HQX are natively supported by Resolve.
Check in in Edius or with mediainfo.

If I remember correctly, Resolve does recognise HQX/HQ but not in an AVI file.

I think I have used them exported from Edius as MOV.

I would also add my voice to be able to use as AVI from Edius.

Same with me here: After 12 years of work in Avid Liquid I have about 5.000 videos in our archive....
It would be a horror to transcode them all for further use which is neccessary....

The possibility of importing those would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Instead of transcoding the AVI files, have you tried just re-wrapping them to a mov format file using something like ffmpeg or ffmbc?
Code: Select all
ffmbc -i videofile.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy videofile.mov

I'm a fan of the free, cross-platform, mathematically lossless UT codec. Working on Windows, it's a great Intermediate. I'd love to have read/write support for this in Resolve.

Hope you take them up on that Sander de Regt as it would be nice to have native support for HQX/HQ.avi file import, at least.

That said, remuxing AVI to MOV container is a straightforward task. When I need to, I usually use FFMPEG. But there are other tools, including VirtualDub2 (formerly VirtualDub_FilterMod), that will do it easily:

https://sourceforge.net/p/vdfiltermod/wiki/Home/

It's just a 'direct stream copy'. I use VDub2 mostly for individual files, but if you have alot of files to convert it is possible to set up for batch processing.

Same goes for Avid DNxHD.

I didn't mention anything about using Quicktime (for Windows) per se for remuxing AVI to MOV container (although that's one way people used to do it). And that's all we are talking about here, changing the container format for the purpose of importing these GV HQX/HQ files into Resolve.

Like I said, if BMD were to add support for import of the native AVI files, that would be great.

Well it took less than a minute to load and remux those GV AVI files to MOV with VirtualDub2

Resolve 15 beta imports the HQ and HQX.mov files (with and without alpha) just fine, but does not 'see' the Lossless.mov files at all. So I guess Lossless is not supported. Maybe BMD could look at that too ?

That's not the point. Of course it can be done, but since everything about Resolve is aimed at integration at the moment, going through VirtualDub2 is not an easy workaround.
I don't have that program.

Or the disk space to doubly store my files.

So to use my new intended editor that supports all kinds of formats - and effectively even supports mine - if wrapped in a *.mov - I don't want to jump through more hoops than necessary. One learning curve is more than enough as far as I'm concerned.

It's more than that, though. We want the files to be readable both inside and outside of Resolve. AVI files usually are readable outside of Resolve because pretty much every Windows video oriented software on the planet (excepting Resolve) can read VfW codecs installed to the system.

We just need that 'inside' part taken care of. Converting to QuickTime could negate the 'outside' part, though.

Extended support for 'non-proprietary' third-party lossless vfw codecs (like UTVideo, MagicYUV) is something that has come up a number of times on the forum. Seems to me a more likely prospect for importing (at least) these formats, could be FFMPEG. Fusion 9 already supports FFMPEG for input:

https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=71908#p403705

Of course that would also allow import of formats that BMD otherwise elect to support only in the Studio version of Resolve (like H265, High Profile 10 H264 currently), so if they did take that initiative there would likely be parallel restrictions. But I'm sure they've considered it.

Would appreciate if read support can be added for .m2t files.

I have not been able to import or de-interlace these clips up until DR 14.3. Hope that in DR 15 if read support can be added, it would be a great help for me to import these old projects and finish them off for once.

I have included links to a couple of sample files from my archive if these can be helpful in providing read support.

These are MPEG2 (HDV).m2t files. Resolve imports MPEG2 only in mxf format, so the existing input options are convert to mxf or transcode to an accepted intermediate format (DNxHD, Cineform, Prores etc).

Last time I looked at the former option I used ffmpeg to remux to mxf but recall there was an issue with Resolve not reading the ffmpeg mxf Op1a format and I had to use bmxtranswrap to rewrite it, as per:

https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=41675#p240678

Rather tedious.

I know that's not what you are asking though:

Yes, many Windows-based NLE's do permit access to whatever compatible third-party WFW codecs are residing on the system, but for export this usually this requires modifying the profile of an existing system-supported AVI codec to access the listing, configuring the chosen third-party codec and saving it as a custom profile.

Take Vegas for example. If you export to Sony YUV (native codec) the pass-through luminance range of the imported source is preserved. However, if you 'customize' the Sony YUV profile to use UTVideo or MagicYUV instead and configure for 8-bit YUV (YV12,YUY2) encoding, the luma range of the export gets compressed (i.e. full range YUV 0-255 > 16-235). Fortunately with MagicYUV there is 'full luma' option that will counter that, but not with UTVideo. Point being that you cannot assume third-party VFW codecs will behave in the same manner as system-integrated codecs and it pays to examine their behavior in any given system to avoid undesirable outcomes.

In light of that, is that what you envisage by 'WFW support' in Resolve ? Obviously there's a big difference between that and adding system-integrated (native) support for select AVI codecs, especially when support already exists for the Quicktime (MOV) variant, as is the case with GV HQ/HQX.

For one thing the freely available GV (Canopus) HQX codec does not expose the 10-bit variant as an encode option when accessed as a 'standalone' VFW codec outside of Edius, even though webpage information would suggest otherwise:

https://www.grassvalley.com/products/hqx_codec/

I do agree though it would be nice to have lossless AVI option's besides Uncompressed.

Actually, I've just checked out (for the first time) the standalone (free) version of Fusion 9, and the Render (I/O Saver) format options for AVI export do indeed list the third-party 64-bit VFW codecs residing on my system, although in the case of UTVideo and MagicYUV it is limited to the 8-bit variants. Also it does not give access to the native configuration panels of the codecs, which in other Windows-based NLE's that support VFW codecs is usually possible. Not so much of an issue for MagicYUV because the default encoder/decoder settings can be configured with a global configuration utility. But for other VFW codecs like Cineform (I have GoPro Cineform codec 9.2.1 installed) the only way I can see to configure the codec is via an independent video utility that can access the Cineform VFW Control Panel, like VirtualDub. So, unless I'm missing something, I wouldn't say the support given for these VFW codecs is really that comprehensive.

Still, I ran a few 'pass-through' (no transforms applied) tests with sample HD-AVC.mp4 clips exported to UTVideo (YUV 420) and MagicYUV (YUV 420) and was happy to see that the exports did preserve the YUV profile of the source, with the 'Export' settings at default.

Anyhow, that's Fusion 9 (standalone) not Resolve 15. But I can appreciate why folks accustomed to Fusion would hope for greater flexibility in choice of AVI formats.

Haven't got around to checking out ffmpeg import in Fusion yet.

I might be alone in this request- I hope not. I do a lot of live video playback and video mapping. For this I use the HAP codec, it is very fast and efficient and many video mapping systems use it. Particularly I use a direct show or media foundation based player to acheive this great performance (no chance to use something like a hyperdeck for mapping). I would love to see this in resolve now that it has fusion as it could be a great go to for creating this kind of content. The codec its self is open source and can be found here: https://github.com/Vidvox

There is a direct show filter here: http://renderheads.com/product/hap-for-directshow/

and AVI based hap samples can be found here: http://downloads.renderheads.com/2014/s ... 30-Hap.avi
and with alpha here: http://downloads.renderheads.com/2014/s ... 0-HapA.avi

I would love it if I could get these files directly from resolve (I can get them from after effects) instead of a full transcode after exporting, which for late changes before shows is pretty stressy..

AVI container is old and quite limited: no field order flagging, no aspect flagging, no timecode etc. If you work with SD and for broadcast this is a massive issue.

There is no need to re-mux to MOV if you have QT PRO on PC. Open your HQX AVI in QT 7 and save as MOV reference file. Import this one to Resolve. It should work.

Is there at least 1 known exploit related to this existing QT player "hole" ?

You either have QT PRO or not. If you do, this is very good work around which requires basically no time and effort. I don't buy this "crap" about QT player being "banned" by USA goverment or even being "abandoned". If something solves my problem who cares if it's latest version of the app or something not maintained? If it works this is what counts. I use many other apps which are not maintained but are great and useful. You know QT player possible risk, so you can decide yourself. I know it provides 10x less risk than my everyday internet browsing, so I'm brave and use it :)
MOV itself has no problem with gamma- its all crappy implementations around it (so apps which write MOV) which use to cause possible issue. It grown into some "myth" caused by countless repeats on forums without people understanding real cause of the problem. So blamed gamma tag has not been in use for years now as it has been replaced by "colr" atom in MOV headers.

My "best" advice is- use MOV. Edius allows to export HQ/HQX in MOV (with timecode, etc) and this is far the best solution (but some people have many already exported AVI HQ/HQX files).

I second that, I use QT Player Pro too – on my personal machine.
But a lot of IT departments are staring so much at official announcements by MS or Apple that they'd never install it at my workplace.
And NLE manufacturers are also steering away from the QT framework on PC. In the good old times I just needed to install any new or exotic codec on the machine and it showed up everywhere. Now even Adobe left that behind.

They have HQ/HQX decoders already implemented, so adding support just for different container should be very easy. In this case I would also like to see support for "private" timecode, aspect/filed order flagging which GV is using in Edius exported AVIs. At last this way things are robust. If you do it, do it right :D

There is no standard way of passing timecode, aspect ratio, field order etc in AVI. It can be done using private headers, but each company does it differently, so then it's all messy.
Edius for example also reads all this metadata fine from its own exported files, but import those to Premiere and nothing is read. This is the problem- lack of standard. In case of MOV these headers are standardised.
In case of DV this info may be actually stored in DV private headers, not AVI container. Not sure.

No sucha limit in AVI itself. I had files above 2TB although you need to use something called superindex, which may not be supported by all apps which read AVIs.
