[Avid-L2] Re: Canon D5....

Nice write-up Oliver. Thank you.

Couple of things:

1. A portion of the 5D footage I've been cutting has been shot by a DP who is occasionally forced to record using internal audio due to run-and-gun conditions. You mention double system shoots and that "Avid will convert these files to the correct rate on import, if audio and video tracks have been separated". I've been simply importing those aforementioned 5D files into MC without any problems -- and have not separately imported audio or used any console commands on the video. My perception is that Avid is slowing down both the video and integrated audio by the same rate. Is there a fundamental problem with my workflow that I am not aware of?

2. I have not yet had the need to convert 29.97 -- to 23.976 or 24 to achieve a filmic look. I'm guessing the most efficient way to accomplish this is to use Avid's Mix & Match motion adapters -- by just opening the 29.97 sequence in a 24 project. Do you happen to know if using this technique looks any better or worse than your FCP workflow? And, do you see any point in exporting the 29.97 cut in Avid -- and re-importing it?

3. You referenced R-Name in your article. For Windows users who only need rudimentary file renaming (not QtChange or Metacheater features) -- I have used a program called Flash Renamer with very good results
