ARRI’s line of ALEXA cameras has become popular among filmmakers, as the cameras can digitally capture the cinematic look of film. And now these cameras are able to record to high-quality, SMPTE-standard Avid DNxHD format, so you can edit the footage natively in Media Composer and Symphony—without transcoding or importing.
In this video, ARRI’s JD Vandenberghe demonstrates what you need to make your ALEXA camera DNxHD-capable, provides an overview of the DNxHD MXF file format, and shows ways to use it with Avid video editing systems.
