Hi, does anybody know where to set an prefered AMA plug in for the source browser? On every new path you navigate, source browser is processing the MXF files of SONY cameras with the AVID MSP_MXF plugin instead of the XAVC_XDCAM Nablet plugin. This is very uncomfortable, because you must always wait... (read more)

Hey there, pros. I first learned Avid on ExpressDV and got very accustomed to using the "S" hotkey to advance to the next edit & the "A" hotkey to move to the previous edit. End of story. I've been on Media Composer since version 5 and am now working on 8.9. One of the minor... (read more)

I'm helping a friend set up his avid project and it was unfortunately shot at multiple frame rates. I've only ever worked with 2 at most (usually the base frame rate and then something we'd be using for slowmo). Right now we have these different frame rates 23.97fps (what the director wants...

It would be a nice feature, if you are exporting for an xdcam disk, or other exports, with an option to limit the colors for tv-norms (with Presets). So the editor is safe, when he has to deliver to a tv-station. (read more)

I'm about to start a project that was shot on Alexa Mini cams with ProRes XQ444 codec at 23.98. I will be delivering at 1080 23.98 for major network broadcast as well as 1x1 for mobile devices. It's been a year or so since I've worked with 4k clips so I'm looking for workflow advice.... (read more)

Hello community, I've been working as an animatic editor in France for 5 years now, but only on Toonboom Storyboard (witch is the standard right here to keep the Storyboard/Editing workflow fluid through versions, and allows direct drawing corrections). It's limited, but does the job. I'll... (read more)

I have recently migrated a project to our new Nexis. I copied over the Avid MediaFiles folder (maintaining the file structure), the project folder, and the raw footage to the root of the Nexis workspace. I can open the project from the Nexis and it shows all the bins and sequences, but all my media is... (read more)

Hi, I've been brought back on to a film as an assistant to do the impossible it would seem. I was linked to the film when it was in FCPX but then was not needed but I've been called back on to take on the migration of the FCPX project to Avid for a different editor. I understand that this is... (read more)

A little (but big) thing that is driving me nuts: I am logging several thousand clips to choose selects. The workflow is: 1)arrow-select clip in bin 2) Control-enter to open in source window (I"m on a mac) 3) Space bar to play and stop 4) Command-tilde ~ to toggle window to make the bin active again...

Hi, I have a series coming up at a production company where I can control the Nexis workspaces and not just let a facility take care of that side of things, so I'm considering how best to work with workspaces on Nexis and would appreciate any thoughts. I know it potentially makes sense to have workspaces... (read more)
