Re: [Avid-L2] Re: workflow for offline red

I just finished my first AMA/RED workflow and I can say that adding a tape
name didn't provide me with any advantage I could find. The biggest thing I
forgot was not lowering the debayer setting to 1/4. That was *painful*.
Knowing what I know now, my workflow is thus:


1. AMA *all* footage at once and place in a single bin, or in bins based
on card/drive name (whatever AMA creates naturally) and transcode to DNxHD.
*Set your debayer to 1/4 or lower first!*
2. Move the transcoded clips to other bins as you please. Leave the AMA
master clips in their original bins.
3. Edit merrily.
4. When you're ready to online, take your DNxHD media offline (rename
your media folder or take the workspace offline, *don't delete the media*),
relink all your original AMA media files, select all the AMA master clips
in their bin, then right-click on a *duplicate *of the sequence you
wish to online, and select relink. In the relink dialog, select the option
to relink to selected clips in bins rather than searching media drives.

That should do it.
