It appear a tipical problem that happen when you have the simple file sharing enabled on your os, if is the case, I know that exist a way using the cmd for open the locked folders. I don't remeber the step to step but you can find it searcing into the forum, I read the related traat years ago in the Xpress forum. Galo

[quote user="Etc"] I'm nor sure whow to make a batch import of the clips. [/quote] Select the clips then go in clip/batch import (is right down the batch capture command), try just one clip, avid will open a window asking where is de original media, browse, select the media and see what happen. If I remember (I do that test mounts ago

I do a quick test of send aaf from premiere cs4 to Avid MC 3.0 and viceversa. Work better from avid to premiere. Anyway a possibly workaround is decompose de sequece imported into MC and do a batch import of the clips. Galo

If I have understand, your problem is change the frame rate of the final sequence, but for me is totally unclear why you actually need go to FCP and to AE. What is your final product, tape, file, HD, SD, DVD or BD? Why you need go back to the original footage? DNX 220x is not satisfactory? If you explain better can be easier find some solutions. Galo

Hi Marc, put the media files in a RAID 0 array is not necessary a bad idea but you must be conscious that the probability of a failure is multiplied for the number of disc member of the RAID, this is the reason why I use RAID 0 only for files that I can recreate.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that your problem is the kind of project, 24p 4 perf is a film project and it slow down the sample rate of the sound, try change to 48.000 the sample rate on the audio setting or open a new 23.97 project and see if the problem persist. Galo

On my computers Boris Continuum use only one processor core, Sapphire have many of the same Boris filters and is multcore render, really more faster. Galo

Probably you have deleted or moved one of the various folders named License files that Avid spam on your's hd during the installation process. Replace the folder in the original place or reinstall the application. Before installing I usually desconnect all hd and raid array that are not direcly involved in the installation of the application. Galo

Hi Thierry, I used sometime AME whith MC 3.0 generated Qick time ref without any problem. Check your Quick Time version maybe there is some conflict, the aproved for CS4 is 7.4.5, the same of MC 3.0 but different of the earlier MC versions. Galo

The only workaround that I know consist in put a tape on the deck and hit play/record when you start capture whith MC. Galo
