Hi I'm rather new to editing in avid. I was working on a project using the Red offline online workflow. Unfortunately I wasn't the one who set up the project but the second editor to be brought on. So the project had already been set up. I edited with my proxies and swapped back to the RED footage... (read more)

Hi there, I'm having a hard time on understanding why when I import some footage (through mxf-mdb) on my Avid, they appear to be with psychedelic colors... The transcodific to mxf (with Davinci) appears to be ok; when I check the footage opening the MXF, it looks fine. The project on Avid is set... (read more)

It might be my decaying brain, but can anyone tell me under what circumstances the 'Video LUT' readout of the Color Info Tool would show values that differed from the LH 'Video' value? The help files suggest it is to do with the display colour space but no combination of changes in the... (read more)

Hi guys just wanting to fix this, I import images into the Bin and they are displayed correctly there but when I look at them in either source monitor or in sequence the colours are kind of inverted like the hue or something. I checked other projects and they seem to run well with no inversion, and I... (read more)

Hi I use colour coding a lot on my clips. Is there a way to assign colours on clips that are used in multiple projects (eg. music used across a series), but so that that colour is only assigned in my project. The main reason is that when working across a series, different editors have different colour... (read more)

I just installed the latest release of Media Composer (2018.5) on a fresh install of Windows 10 pro on a new system. I created a fresh user profile. I was shocked to see that once I AMA linked some footage, the color of the video in the source/record windows was incorrect, looked almost inverted. I checked... (read more)

Hi, Is there a way to change the color of the highlight bar on top of each window? I don't see that option in the interface settings. Also is there a way to make just the timeline background brighter/darker. Not the whole Avid interface, just the timeline, like we used to do with old versions of... (read more)

Hi, Guys. I am supposed to transcode rushes in Ressolve, rather than Avid. I am new to the workflow, but have followed many tutorials and read much advice. However, when I compare the Ressolve transcodes to the Avid transcodes (made by AMA linking Arri ProRes 4444 files) the Resolve transcodes are lighter... (read more)

I usually use DaVinci or Premiere to do conforms but sometimes clients request I stay Avid only (sometimes effects don't transfer over which is a good reason to know it, too). I learned relinking the Avid way and can get consistent results with relinking colored/trimmed clips. I have relinked ProRes... (read more)

Hello All, This seems to be the most basic of questions, but I cant figure out how to make a sequence (or clip) in a bin colored. I am subscribing to the monthly avid rental and I am working on 8.5.2. On every other version of MC I have worked on, it is in the "Edit" tab at the bottom (cant... (read more)
