To add a tape name when ama transcoding for offline or not? That is the question. Some on the list no longer add tape names and some do out of habit. I've been told about a new to me way to deal with ama that seems to work solidly for the two AEs I heard it from. The process is:
1: AMA link to media, in my current project it is Cannon but I'm not sure which camera.
2: No addition of Tape Name and transcode to offline SD media.
3: Take the transcoded clips with the .new extensions and delete them.
4: Unmount the ama source volume(s)
5: Take the original ama'd clips in the original bin and relink them to the newly transcoded media
6: Edit offline using these clips
7: Come online remount the original source files mounting the clips to a new bin, I'm told not relinking the original bins, and voila the sequence comes online.
I'm told this works well. I don't understand what Avid uses for relinking the original ama clips to the newly transcoded media which doesn't have a tape name. We are on V6 so all the additional relinking choices aren't available only tape and time code or Key Code numbers. So how does Avid no to relink to the new transcodes? Then in online what metadata is avid using to relink the sequence to what are brand new ama'd bins of the original source clips? I'm told it works I just want to know more about what's going on under the hood in this approach. Anybody got experience with this?
