The "Use Avid Codecs" option doesn't matter in HD - this is an older option for SD settings, particularly DV. I have not used a Custom QT export in years. There's also a "Custom" QuickTime export, but this invokes the old, outdated, 32-bit QuickTime process, which is VERY slow, and often leads to issues like color mismatches anyway. This file is usually best for bringing into another encoding application to create your final file. So, if you have everything already transcoded to DNxHD or a few others, then you can export a QuickTime Reference. You can export this ONLY if there is no linked media in your timeline. "QuickTime Reference" - this creates a SMALL QuickTime file that simply references media that already exists in your Avid MediaFiles folders. You can export this at any time UNLESS there is any "long-GOP" Avid media in your timeline, such as transcoded XDCam media. "Same as Source" - this exports a new QuickTime file using the codec of the media in your timeline, or the codec chosen in your Media Creation - Render settings. Generally, the best way to go is to export one of two ways from Avid MC: This is all very general, it's sometimes much more complicated than that - but it fits the needs of most people. If it's a DVD or Blu-Ray player, then you really have little choice - you need to create one of those. If it isn't, then you usually want some form of H.264. If the playback device is something like a broadcast playout server that supports DNxHD/DNxHR or ProRes, that's usually the answer. How is it being played back? It mostly depends on that.
