Re: [Avid-L2] IMAGE IMPORT ERROR

 

Try importing them from the desktop. Sometimes it's the file path that is
the culprit.

[Avid-L2] IMAGE IMPORT ERROR

 

All right everybody: how do I solve this one?

I'm trying to import still images - photos: jpg, png, tiffs, and for some reason, I'm getting DISK - INVALID FILENAME - SYNTAX error. I'm mystified. The files open in Preview, Photoshop, etc, and yet I can't import them into Avid.

I've tried renaming them; opening in Photoshop and saving as copies. Still can't import them.

Any clues?

Thanks,

If you are in v5.5.x there is a Source Path column you can activate.
Previous versions only have Source File. As part of the workflow I suggest
with clients for AMA, it is up to the loader to create and fill a new column
that contains the source path.

RE: [Avid-L2] Re: AMA Relink

 

Bizarrely we are now getting projects with more than 25 drives so we run out
of drive letters... But yes you are correct, but it seems the only way to
tell what the drive letter was is to manually write it down at the start, so
if you aren't controlling the whole process there seems to be no way to work
out what the drive letter was? Or is there?

If you are rigourous, you can always get the drives to mount with the same
