I've recently been sent some footage that according to VLC is in AVdh. On Googling this, it appears to be an Avid codec. I have installed the Avid LE codecs and the file does now open in Quicktime after conversion. However if I try and import it into FCP X or transcode it in Compressor it plays with a green screen. It looks like the GPU may be running into issues. Has anyone else had this problem?
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
Thanks Tom,
That worked pretty well. I know have something I can edit with. One question is there a way I can up the quality of the ProRes encoding? Ideally I was hoping I could transcode to ProRes 444.

Hi Tom,
See the attached grab for technical info on my machine.

What are the computer specs including graphics capabilities?
That should be more than adequate.
Try selecting the files in the Finder, right-clicking and using Services > Encode Selected Files. In the menu select Apple ProRes.
I don't think you can change the OS option. If it doesn't work in Compressor or MPEG Streamclip I don't know what exactly lee you can do. Are the files 3-4K that you want for go to 4x4?
