I think metafuze doesn't allow LUT's for Prores. So no advantage in doing
that..
AMA link to rushes and then transcode to DNX 36/120 or whatever. Editors did
one light correction to get the look passable. There is some software by
Light illusion that will make DNX with the LUT baked in but it came out
after we started. And it's only on a MAC.
We then relinked in avid to make 4:4:4 sequence. You have to be careful to
make sure it stays 10 bit. We exported TIFF files from AMA transcoded 4:4:4
1:1 MXF. I think to stay uncompressed it was either Tiff files in 10b or
Tape.. I think other file formats get converted to 8bit.
We couldn't get the DS route to work.. QT timecodes seem to be confused in
DS and apparently a known issue.
Conforming in MC means everything comes across exactly the same, and then
graded in film master and online in DS.. Once it's conformed it didn't make
much difference. We wanted to do a AAF to filmmaster but it doesn't support
avids 4:4:4 codecs yet I think.
Make sense?

Subject: [Avid-L2] Looking for advice for Alexa MC workflow
Hi all,
We're looking at offline alternative workflows for a documentary shooting
dual Alexa @ ProRes4444 Log-C and double-system sound, all to be mixed with
a large variety of stock and archive footage. Client wants to take grading
and online to Scratch and Smoke, so I'm looking at a decent maze of possible
media management pitfalls here.
Transcoding for offline in MC: We will need work with an intermediate
format, to be relinked back to the Alexa ProRes originals AND various other
quicktime files in grading. What are our alternative workflows for
transcoding in this scenario, also regarding compensation for the Log-C in
editing?
Can this be done in Avid via AMA, or would we need to go MetaFuze for the
LUT compensation? Any other transcode options? Concerned also about the
relink process here, as we're not going our usual internal DS-route for
finishing. (And if anyone would rather recommend FCP7 with LUTs via FxScript
please do speak up.)
Thanks!
K
