I havé been using this pipe for nearly a year and I even if I persist in believing that the mxfs will work I often end up exporting qt files and importing those into the avid. I used to have a lot of problems with resolve mxfs getting quarantined so I export the resolve timeline in a block. I have never much success with bm's after sales service so I just hope they read this and will see. I know BM is active on creative cow.

I use the mediatool to import the files, insert them into my timelines and the conform is done.... Except at some moment in the afternoon, the MXF master clip I had imported all disappeared and where replaced by numerous new masterclips with new names that correspond to original Canon C300 rushes that I cut using AMA. The metadata of these new files have an UNC to the rushes but when I reveal the media file of each of these new files, it opens the original Resolve MXF. The problem is that the length of the MXF does not corespond to these new "consolidated" files so I get an error message. Worse still, the conformed timeline changes, as the good MXF masterclip file is replaced by the new shorter masterclips. I think that there is some bug as the MC6 seems to get confused with all the meatdata in the Resolve export, but I do not understand how it can erase masterclips and replace them with new one automatically. I hope this is clear ...
