Re: [Avid-L2] BWF import problem, MC 7.0.4

 

I see my workaround can be simplified:

   Select the 5 monophonic clips (all with same timecode), and use autosync on source-TC to produce a subclip with 5 tracks and correct duration.

It looks like AMA-import and transcode of audio files is still problematic.

When I do this, I get a CM_INVALID_TRIM error when the transcode is complete, and the Avid wants to move a big chunk of the new audio files into quarantine. 

This appears to be the same bug I described at some length on this list in Feb 2013.  In my trouble-shooting at that time I found it only happened in projects with 'film options' enabled.  Kind of a drag to see still happening on a completely different system, on the latest version of Media Composer.  My system in 2013 was not fully in spec, but this current system is, so definitely a bug.

So the only good workaround for the BWF file import seems to be this:

  • Regular import of all BWF files as mono audio wav files.
  • Select the 5 monophonic clips for each group and autosequence them into a single sequence (all the clips should line up, since they all have the same timecode)
  • Auto-sync the new sequence to produce a single subclip with 5 tracks and the correct duration.

Cheers,
