Re: [Avid-L2] Feature film , Alexa and mc - AMA?

 

OHh, so from the last mails here im a bit confused :-(
Ama or not?
Assuming i don't have Lab who transcoed it for us, so not that kind of production so porobably  I'll have an assistent Editor who deals with all this.
from all the answers so far i understand its better to use the AMA only as a way to read it in avid Quickly than TRANSCODE it , Edit, and at the end back to original or export to resolve.
if you think its better to take the clips from alexa use 3rd party software and convert it to DHxHD please advise. thanks

No, I personally just stay away from AMA altogether. On this last movie we didn't use any 3rd party stuff, either. The film was shot with the Alexa, so all we did was import the camera files directly into the Avid, transcoding to DNxHD 115 on import. Sound was sync'd in the Avid using AutoSync.

This particular project was started in MC7, and so an Arri LUT was applied to all the clips using the whole Source Settings thing. But then, when MC7 proved unready (in terms of what felt like processor-demand issues), we back-rev'd to 6.5.3. Now, because we didn't have access to the automatic LUT application available in MC7, we just made a color correction setting that neutralized the LOG look and placed this correction on a high track in the timeline and unlocked it, working under it on the cuts. Simple. Worked fine.

But, yeah, no AMA.

Agreed, but do you do it via AMA-linking first or using 3rd party tools?
I mostly see the latter used on features.

 I like transcoding. Much more stable.
