I have just finished 15 commercials using an aaf / davinci lite workflow. Apart from rendered mxfs out of davinci that were occasionally quarantined, it worked amazingly well. The reconform in the avid was easy , as long as the tc and tape name were right. To make it harder, these were 5d rushes that we graded directly, so metadata was key to the success. I initially wanted to use symphony but I got stuck as firstly I could not find someone who really knows what creative colour grading is. There are plenty of avid editors who can fiddle with colour levels. Secondly, symphony has the worst matte/track logic ever conceived. Once you have used a dedicated grading app, you're in no hurry to go back to symphony.
All to say that I feel that avid should integrate symphony to mc and have a utility to repair mxfs. Aafs are great. In my experience, it's avid's very strict media needs that are such a handicap. What is the point of a quarantine if you can't repair the media. Once.that is sorted, a truly viable avid mxf pipeline with other apps is possible.
