AVID Codec Packages (LINK)
There are two codec packages available from Avid:
- Avid Codecs LE – available here:
- Macintosh
- Windows
- Avid Codecs PE – available only with Avid editing applications
Avid Codecs PE contains the MPEG IMX codec while the Avid Codecs LE package does not because of end-user licensing issues. You can find the Avid Codecs PE installer under InstallersAvidCodecsPE.

All Avid QuickTime codecs support 'fast import,' as long as the import settings are properly configured; Avid codecs might import far more quickly than other QuickTime codecs.
Import Settings Dialog Box
You need to select certain options in the Import Settings dialog box when you import QuickTime media into Avid editing applications.
Alpha
When you import alpha from an Avid QuickTime codec, select Alpha > Use Existing in the Import Settings dialog box. When alpha is imported from a non-Avid QuickTime codec, select Alpha > Invert Existing. This is because the Avid QuickTime codec inverts the alpha during the movie's creation, saving time on import into your editing applications while not significantly adding to the creation time in a third-party program.
File Field Order
This setting defines how the source material is interlaced.
An odd, or upper-field ordering uses the first line of each frame for field one.
An even, or lower-field ordering uses the first line of each frame for field two.
NTSC 601/DV resolutions have an even (lower field first) ordering.
PAL 601 resolutions have an odd (upper field first) ordering.
PAL DV resolutions have an even (lower field first) ordering.
1080i HD has an odd (upper field first) ordering.
Color Levels
For all non-Avid QuickTime codecs, these options allow you to specify whether the file being imported has pixel values that are stored using computer RGB values (where the 0-700 mV (video black to video white) voltages are mapped using the full range of 0-255, 8-bit) or ITU-R BT.601/ITU-R BT.709 values (where the 0-700 mV voltages are mapped using the 601/709 standard range of 16-235, 8-bit).
However, when importing movies compressed using any of the Avid QuickTime codecs, you should always set this option to 601/709, regardless of the color levels in the movie. This is because the Avid codecs internally encode the material using 601/709 color levels. You instead specify the QuickTime codec options in a third-party program whether the file you are creating or rendering contains a computer RGB or 601/709 mapping. Failure to do this with current versions of Avid editing applications results in a dramatically slow import and incorrect color levels in the imported element.
