RE: [Avid-L2] Original AMA bins lose added tape name when opened from a different project?

John, as soon as you close the original AMA bin, it will lose any tape number you give it. You just have to add it again when you relink. As far as we can tell, Avid's looking for the TC and a tape number so if your shoot goes past midnight but you give the clips the same tape name and the timecodes clash or jump backwards then i can see why this would be a problem. Giving the post-midnight clips a different tape name might solve this but obviously requires a little organisation on the AEs part. For clips that span, i reckon it's manual. We find the relinking works really well as long as the bins are open and the clips all have the same tape names. Adding the tape name to the bin name will help you locate the correct material for the relink. I'm still a bit confused because i got told that the Avid is looking for the UMID and the timecode, but obviously this is not the case as clips won't relink without a tape number?

Subject: [Avid-L2] Original AMA bins lose added tape name when opened from a different project?

On a Sony EX project they ama'd to the original media and transcoded to 10:1 for offline. They added tape names to the original ama bin. Now when they open the original bins from the online project the tape names disappear. The solution was to copy the original bins into the actual online project then the tape names don't disappear. There were a few quirks to the relink which I think is typical. The AE indicated to me that source clips that ran thru midnight gave problems with relinking. Curious what others experiences are and how they relate to our situation. Ultimately they had to manually cut in some shots. Sounds par for the course from what I've read here. I did suggest that maybe this project would be ideal for FCPX but the response was less than I expected. ;-(
