[Avid-L2] Archiving Short Form Projects onto Blu-ray Discs

Full Disclosure: I've cross-posted this on the Avid Forum -- so please disregard it there.


I will be working on a very large number of short form projects over a period of years that will need to be archived for possible future revision. The chances of a revision are low -- but definitely not zero.

As I work on these project, I plan on keeping my AvidMediaFile folders segregated -- so that only one project's media is ever stored in any one AvidMediaFile folder. And I'd like to archive these projects individually -- not as a group.

These completed project archives would definitely fit on 25GB or 50GB Blu-ray Discs. And the shelf life requirements of these archives are very finite -- after 2-3 years there will be no reason to hang on to the archive.

So I was thinking that for the price and relative stability of BD-R discs -- I should consider archiving onto this format.

I know there are potential issues with optical discs regarding the number of directory levels -- which I don't think would be a problem with the AvidMediaFile folder. And I believe there might be some issues with optical discs using ISO9660 versus UDF -- and "Allowing Files That Exceed Size Limits". At the same time, I am under the impression that those issues are more related to CD and DVD discs -- rather than Blu-ray Discs.

Can anyone think of a reason why I would not want to archive my Avid Projects, AvidMediaFile Folders and other miscellaneous job-related files onto Blu-ray discs?


Thanks for your input.

[Avid-L2] Re: 2997 to 2398

Michael,
Curious about the step you mention about conversion. On my MC 5 I can't just open the 30I sequence (29.97) in the 23.98 project because it has matte keys and it won't make the mixdowns necessary while in the HD 1080P 23.976 project. I am prompted to go back to the 30I project and do the modification there and it will create the needed mix downs. I guess what you suggest would work if there were no matte keys or imports that require a mix down. Once I do that then I can proceed as I already outlined. I think the glitch I see here is that if I don't have the offline media on hand I can't transcode the clips to the new project rate of 23.976 and I'm still stuck with 30F code in the Start TC. It seems modifying the sequence from 30I matchback to HD 23.976 1080P does not move the TC 24 into the start tc of the clips like it should. I believe that's when you told me the source TC gets converted from 30F to 24F but if I look at the modified sequence before transcoding I have 30F start tc and nothing in the TC 24 column. Once transcoded I still have no tc 24 data but the start time code is then 24F. When I look at the bin with the 30I matchback sequence it has both start tc 30F and TC 24 (which was created when I duplicated the start tc column.) Would I be correct in assuming the glitch or part of it is that the start tc remains 30F after modifying the original 30I match back sequence to HD 23.976 1080P? Sure seems like that isn't right to me but I've always used the edl method in the past so I really have only modified NTSC 23.976 projects in the past with success when onlining in HD. Pretty far out Friday night/ Sat morning for me.

Does it make sense that no motion adapters were created in this process? I guess this is correct given I modified the seq to HD 23.976 1080P before cutting it into a new hD timeline.

DVD players can handle 24fps files. Not all authoring apps can deal with
24fps files and not all encoders can create compliant 24fps files. For
example, Compressor and BitVice can create 480i/23.98 MPEG2 (.m2v) files
that work in Apple DVD-SP. I have been unable to use 24fps files in Adobe
Encore. When a DVD player plays a 24fps DVD, it will automatically add the
pulldown.

The thing I'm really trying to figure out is if I export uncompressed 1080p
23.976, in Sorenson, what frame rate do I set for compression? Do I have to
select some form of pulldown so the dvd player knows to play 23.976p?

I figured it would be downsized for standard DVD anyway, so I thought 720p
was fine. So is it best to export uncompressed 1080p and then compress to
MPG2 in Squeeze? Do I export at 23.976 and compress to 24 or does it have to

I've done 1080/24.00p in Squeeze and that looked excellent.

I don't see why you choose 1280x720 in Squeeze. There should be a preset for
1920x1080/23.976p. In that preset, make sure to go to the advanced video
settings and select the option "Video is already 16-235" or something along
those lines.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: 2997 to 2398

Decomposing the sequence before copying the timecode into the 24tc
column and creating the EDL solved the problem I was having with 24tc
not being correct. Hope this helps someone else in the future!

RE: [Avid-L2] 1080p to Standard DVD Workflow Trouble

Thanks Job!

I figured it would be downsized for standard DVD anyway, so I thought 720p
was fine. So is it best to export uncompressed 1080p and then compress to
MPG2 in Squeeze? Do I export at 23.976 and compress to 24 or does it have to
stay 23.976?

I don't see why you choose 1280x720 in Squeeze. There should be a preset for
1920x1080/23.976p. In that preset, make sure to go to the advanced video
settings and select the option "Video is already 16-235" or something along
those lines.

[Avid-L2] MC5 RED AMA to Avid DS - Workflow?

Anyone had much of a play with getting an MC5 RED AMA timeline into DS?

None of the 'smarter' metadata options (AMA or AFE) are available with
AMA-linked media, so as far as I could determine it would be necessary first
to transcode the sequence to an Avid media format before you could use
either of those methods.

I did a basic test with EDL as well - that worked, but it should be noted
that you cant 'send' the sequence to EDL Manager from within MC5, you
instead have to open the bin directly from within the EDL Manager (as the
send to option uses AAF to transfer the sequence to EDL Manager). I had to
use the 'File 16' format, as 'File 32' would include the _001 in the reel
name, which won't then match what DS creates when scanning source files.

Anyone else been playing with it.

By joining the feature request forum, and supporting that very request.

Pretty sure that Avid is very much aware of the issue. That's not saying
they'll manage to overcome this in the near future, but they did say that
this is a first step.

Re: [Avid-L2] Red AMA is crippled

My glass is half full - I find the new "Reformat" ability in MC5 to be
really exciting as it seems pretty clear that it's the start of something
like resolution independance.

I'd never really expected that MC5 would be a finishing tool, although it
would be fine for most of the RED stuff I've done where reframing hasn't
been required.

Re: [Avid-L2] Trial says it has expired prematurely

This happened to me during beta. The bin you're trying to access was
made in a trial version more than 30 days ago. Open that bin in a
licensed version, then close it, and you should be able to open it in
a trial version again. That worked for me. (the beta licensing is
software based, and there were a LOT of beta versions- at one point I
forgot to deauthorize, and using trial license was easier than bugging
avid to reset my software license.)

Re: [Avid-L2] Red AMA is crippled

The statement made at the MC5 road show is that this is only the first step. It will improve. They are very aware that we want to use 4K images at full res inside of an HD window. I don't see a show stopper. I see the show beginning. It isn't crippled - just not fully implemented. Half full / half empty scenario.

Subject: [Avid-L2] Red AMA is crippled

There is just no way to crop or zoom or pan Red footage in full resolution. The entire picture is scaled to HD.

Basically it rules out Avid as finish tool, since I need to reframe, crop and even pan on the Red original frequently. It is very necessary function. Back to the drawing board, Premier, After FX,... whatever.

Disappointment is severe. How could we convince Avid to at least include a crop function in the Source Settings? It's not that they are unaware of the issue... Maybe the thinking is that its not a big deal. It is. A show stopper.

[Avid-L2] 1080p to Standard DVD Workflow Trouble

Hey L,

First time taking HD to standard DVD and I'm hoping to get some workflow
advice from the guys who know.

I'm in Xpress Pro HD 5.2.7 and Ulead DVD and I have a 1080p 23.976 sequence.
I need to burn it to a standard DVD.

I've tried exporting uncompressed and going to Squeeze and MPG2, and I've
also tried exporting MPG4 from Avid, but each time, trying various settings,
it looks bad on the DVD.

Can you recommend the workflow and settings to make this work? Should I be
exporting a particular frame size, frame rate and data rate? Compressing to
a particular frame size, frame rate and data rate?

I've exported as uncompressed QT, 23.976, 601 Color, 1920x1080p, and
compressed in Squeeze to MPG2, 1280x720, 29.97, 16:9, Bottom Field First, 24
I Frames, 1 Pass CBR, 10,000 Data Rate. And I've tried various combos of
these settings.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Les

Did you check out the Mu V Chat link (http://muvchat.com/)? Another I'm okay with as long as I'm warned. This for those idiots on the back row who already think the film is really about their "Bet-cha didn't see that coming!"comments.
But it's too bad that the movies are going towards this type of idiocracy. (Idiocracy (2006))

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: 2997 to 2398

Did that, exactly as youve detailed- that's the way I've always done
it in the past. The new sequence didn't match the roughcut. Not even
close.

I'll try it again today, and just go a little slower! This was all
on a 5x system, but I have one system still running 3.x, so I'll try
it there, too, as MP suggests.

[Avid-L2] Re: 2997 to 2398

Greg -

in v4, the Mix and match feature took out the "sequence frame rate conversion" method for some reason. These are two very different workflows of which one does not enable the other in many situations.

The feature was brought back in v5 and when opening the 29.97 sequence in your 23.976 project, you do get the option for the sequence conversion. But if your original 29.97 sequence contains clips that were original mix & match, then it won't work.

You can also go back to a 3.x build to do the conversion. What I don't know is if that fix was added to the most recent 4.x or if it is only in v5.

I still need to look into the transcode message, although I understand what's it's saying, I need to check with engineering and QA as to all the situations this may apply and effect on metadata.

[Avid-L2] Re: 2997 to 2398

The EDL method still works as I did it recently. In a matchback enabled 30 frame project, open you bin with the sequence in it. Turn on sources and show reference clips in bin display.

Now select the start TC column in the bin and hit CTRL + D (CMD + D Mac) and select 24 TC as the place to copy to. This gives all your clip a 24 frame TC.

Now open EDL manager, select 24TC as the TC for both sources and timeline. Now open the bin with your sequence in it and load the edl from your sequence. This gives you an EDL with 24 frame TC.

Now is a tricky step, you have to save that EDL to disk, then reload it in EDL manager to create a sequence. So...

Save the EDL to disk. Open it in EDL manager. In MC, open your 23.98 project and have a destination bin open. Back in EDL manager, do a "Create Composer Sequence" and it will ask you a few dialogues about the type of sequence to make, then it will offer the destination folder you have opened in MC. Then it creates a sequence in that bin in MC.

[Avid-L2] Re: 2997 to 2398

Okay I think I got it to work but I think it is because I did have the offline media online. What Terry said for step 2 seems to work when I did the following:
1) Start with a 30I project
2) Create 30I Matchback Project and duplicate the original sequence
and then duplicate the start tc to TC 24 column.
3) Modify the sequence to 23.976 HD 1080P (This was what I missed in
previous attempts because I was going to NTSC 23.98 which only
supports 30 frame source code, I think). Created a new 23.976
1080P project and copied this sequence into a bin in the new
project At this point revealing ref clips shows clips with Start
TC 30F and TC 24 24F code. TC1 for the source clips is still 30F
4) Duplicated sequence to a new bin and transcoded to 23.976 1080P
project rate. At this point the trancoded clips have no TC 24
but the Start TCs for transcoded clips are 24F. Source TC1 is 24F
5) Created a new bin and duplicated the transcoded sequence in it.
Decomposed the sequence and ended up with new video master clips
offline with no TC 24 but start TC 24F code (except for audio
clips which still have 30F start code and TC 24 values.) Source
TC1 is 24F

This seems to have worked as best I can tell. Greg you seem to be correct that without the offline media to transcode this wouldn't work. That seems the only way to get the start column time code to be 24F. I'll play around some more without the offline media to see if there is a way to fool the process.
