Re: [Avid-L2] MC4 - Wrong, Disappearing KN values

Hi,

The issue of the Avid sometimes losing metadata has come up before, and I'm
fairly certain that Avid is aware and trying to find the culprit.

I'm not sure that I heard about _changed_ KN values, but I defintely heard
about lost KN, Labroll and Camroll entries.

I found that sometimes, if none of my source bins were open, the Avid would
not "see" some of that metadata for the clips in a sequence anymore. When I
would open the Media Tool, the metadata would be gone there as well. When I
subsequentely would open the source bins, the metadata would be gone there
as well.

If I do it the other way around, first open the source bin, before I would
open the Media Tool, the metadata would show up in the source bin, and also
in the Media Tool subsequently.

I have used a workaround, which is that I create a bin with ALL (sub)clips
for the project, when the metadata is correct. Then I save this bin
somewhere on the desktop, as an ALE and as an AVB. That way, I can always
bring in source (sub) clips with the right metadata whenever the sh*t hits
the fan.
