Thank you all for the details, particulary to Janusz which enlighted me about MXF metadata. The DIT is working with Fireshoot. He's looking if he could make further changes. For the conform export I tested with Panavision and it work according to the MXF filenames so we'll just provide corrected...

Hi, Resently got back a harddrive from a shoot with a load of P2 cards on them (all appare to be backed up the proper way ie folder structure). When I link to AMA Volume it will not bring in all the clips (as in the total length of the footage) its missing many shots. it wil also show part of a clip...

Hi there, Sometimes (seems to be about 30% of time) when we copy/move a numbered MXF media folder from one Avid to another, Avid doesn't do the media scan on that folder so we have to restart the Avid software. Strangely on this particular setup, ALL the media disappears when we go back into our...

Hi, Everyone I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a relinking problem that came as a result of a workflow mistake. I was using an AMA to Avid DNxHD36 offline workflow, in which I linked to Apple Pro Res files via AMA. Then I duplicated the files to a new bin, trancoded the duplicates to DNxHD36...

Hi there, I'm relatively new to Avid (about 2 years off and on) and the biggest problem I've had is with the AMA offline/online workflow. I can never seen to get it to work. Here's what I did.... A. I linked to Prores quicktime files via AMA. B. I transcoded to DNXHD 36 files, which gave...

Hi, I am trying to link some XDCam_Footage by AMA (like I did it trillions of times before), but it's not working on the Symphony. Well, it's linking something but then the media is offline. I installed the latest plug-ins (I think) but still... Any ideas? Any workarounds? Thanks, Aen

Hi All, I'm at work with a few projects, trying to consolidate the timelines onto new HD's. 1: Trying to consolidate the complete timeline (some 28 min.) 99% sure gives a "Error: Reached end of file <filename>." Yes, for some strange reason, AVID does not know what file it's...

Hi all! This is my first post on the forums - I've been lurking here for a while for help with my Avid issues, but I can't seem to find anything relating to my current problem... I've been putting together interview videos with a very consistent style; 11 stock questions, in the form of simple...

Hi, Everyone. I'm working with footage shot on Sony F3 and attempting to use a DNXHD36 offline workflow. Audio was recorded sepaparately as wav files and had to be hand synced. Firstly, I AMA linked to the original files I was given which have a ProRes 422 (HQ) setting in the video column. I then...

Questions: Why does the Avid "forget" the location of some AMA files, and list them as offline? Is this a bug? Some files in a bin were online, some where offline, even though the media was in the same directory. The Avid knew where the offline files were. It listed the correct locations in...
