Re: [Avid-L2] FS 7 consolidate / AAF-resolve miracle

Not sure if it is related to what you found but a year or more ago I had a multicamera Red show that had been offlined from DNX 36 offline clips. The AEs added their own tape names to the offline clips that had no relationship to the embedded clip names in the Red clips. I was able to link to the Red Raw clips ama and add the tape names to match what the AEs had done. The sequence would then relink and I was able to export an aaf that Resolve took and linked to the Red Raw files.

What was interesting was the Avid struggled with an error if I tried to play the clips or sequence with the ama'd Red clips. These were hour long clips with a total of approximately 12 hours of source material. If I turned off the video monitoring and never played any clips I could relink and generate an aaf but many times along the way I would get the something or other producer time out error ish message and I'd have to quit Avid and start from scratch.

Once I had a successful relinking the aaf would open in Resolve and I was able to use the "Red Trims" feature, not sure if that is the correct nomenclature, and Resolve generated decomposed clips with handles that had the tape name matching what the AEs had added and that would relink in Avid.

This was with HD 1080 23.976 material so I don't know if it relates to your findings with UHD material but it did work after some trial and error.

Well, it got even better.

My former assistant told me a couple of days a go he could export an AAF from transcoded offline material,

and Resolve linked to the sources without any hassle.

(This does make sense as modern clips all have a UUID (Universal Unique Identifyer),

but it's nice that this kind of stuff is finally implemented in relinking, as it should of course :-)

Sorry to be late to the party but we had this and I think it was solved by using background transcode/consolidate rather than doing it in the foreground. Maybe you could give it a try and see if that works?

Got a project shot in UHD on an FS 7, offlined with transcoded AMA clips.
After the ritual relink to AMA dance, found out that it would not
consolidate.
Bummer, but for the heck of it, i've exported an AAF from the AMA linked
sequence,
and oh joy, Resolve linked to all the camera originals without any hassle.

But now, how to get Resolve to play smooth?
(Not really an issue, as it will be graded elsewhere)
