Re: [Avid-L2] BUG REPORT - AMA audio import & transcode in projects with 35mm film options

 

Hi Steve:

   I agree -- regular import of audio seems to be more reliable, typically.  In this case I was getting Audio::PMM_INSUFFICIENT_MEDIA() errors with traditional import pf BWF files, while AMA import seemed (at first) to be giving better results. 

   I have found AMA audio import to be occasionally useful -- for example, when a director brings in a big bunch of music tracks they want to try out quickly. 

Cheers,
--Michael

Thanks for the correction. My question stands: what's the advantage to AMAing audio? I just spent the week bringing in a ton of multi-channel audio tracks and the imports were fast. If there's a bug to AMA'd audio, the cost of importing is minimal. I love AMAing video, but audio seems pointless for probably 90% of all applications and situations. But for the 10% who need it, I'm sure they're unhappy. If Avid claims to support this, then it needs to be fixed.

I believe the main documentation for MC v7 had some specific language about the vastly improved AMA plugin included for audio files. Prior to v7, it was highly discouraged.
