[Avid-L2] Re: AAF out of Avid to Resolve, Clips in Media Pool but won't link?

Yo, The first thing. If there is ever a question about what "Tape Name" a masterclip is using and an AAF. The Avid rule is to actually look at the "Source" icon in "Set Bin Display..." this will clear that issue up for you. The "Source" icon is the exact name for what gets used. This works for the "Tape" column and for the "SourceFile" column too.

Second. I am just trying to be clear; Are you creating an AAF to link to new sources and not .mxf files? Because, that is my favorite type of AAF. What frame rate?

I want to help

In some cases the timeline isn't linked but I can see the clips in the media pool. Color Bars for example don't link to the timeline. I would expect some issues with imports like color bars but I'm also getting issues with some but not all Pelco cameras. There is an error about the clips not linking because of the time code extent or something like that. The clips do end up in the media pool and the timecode on these clips are correct but they don't link. I've checked the Avid side and the clips do have tape names added to them. Could there be a difference if the tape names were added during the online uprezz as opposed to having originally being added when the offline media was created? Kinda like how the metadata doesn't get into the .mxf file if it isn't there when the .mxf is
