Importing or opening DPX to FCP

Hi,

I received some DPX files which I need to convert to quicktime in order to use them in FCP.

I tried importing/opening them using FCP and Motion but nothing worked.

Anybody knows how I can work around this?

Thanks in advanced.

PS: I don't have After Effects.

You can also download a DPX to QT translator from AJA.
I have not had any issues with it.

I'll second AJA's DPX to QT translator, although I think it caps out at 2k file sizes.

Another alternative would be to use Graphic Converter to batch convert the DPX to something else, like TIFFs. Then you'd be able to open them as an image sequence with QT or something else.

Apple's workflow to work with DPX is to send it through Color (render to ProRes), then eventually conform it and do a full grade in Color. That or you could use After Effects and render it to ProRes. After Effects is simpler, and you can easily do the color space conversion, but it won't keep the source TC.

I hope FCP X has a more elegant workflow for this, though.
