Sages of the Avid-L2,
We are looking for a First Asst. Editor to assist us on our narrative feature film, Mandorla, while we focus on finishing up our edit. We are currently based in a quiet, barn-sized space in the country just across the river from Portland for the next 2 weeks (May 12-23). We then return to our home base in the San Francisco area and start making festival submissions.
We are looking for someone who can help us with some basic compositing and addressing workflow (and workflow issues) out to our sound editor and visual effects artists.
For example, we currently need to address an off-line media issue. Here's the story:
We are using Avid MC 7.0.3 on an iMac and a 12TB Pegasus R6 raid with AMA linked Apple ProRes 422 media.This has been working relatively well for our rough-cut.
We now need to export an EDL to our sound editor but are getting errors. We also need to export some clips to our VFX artists but we are getting the dreaded Quicktime dark gamma shift.
The advised solution here (thank you L2 sage Jeff Sengpiehl) was to transcode. So I transcoded our AMA-linked Apple ProRes 422 masters to Avid's ProRes MXF. The transcode seemed to be successful (sigh) so I exported the OMF files to the sound editor and it linked to the original media fine. When I started a new session the next day all the newly transcoded audio files were off-line (sigh), and simply reconnecting them didn't work. I suspect there is a simple solution to this, I just don't know what it is and we really need to march forward with the edit.
Please send any interested inquires (and any possible solutions to the media off-line issue).
Thanks so much!
Roberto Miller
