I'm new to Ver. 8.3.1 coming from 6.5.4 SNDX I skipped Ver. 7 so far. I have been successfully transcoding F-55 4K and XAVC Intra-100 to DNX-175X. I have checked the bake in Color Transforms and Frame Flex as the media is intended for Avid 6.5.X. I ama link and the bin populates with the clips I highlight them all and set up the transcode check the background processing button. Now the bin populates with .new clips and a job appears in the Background Queue. The job started automatically the first time I did this. The second batch I seemed to have to hit the cancel and restart the job, perhaps it was still setting up the processing but then I saw the gold yellow progress bar start up.
On the second batch, just like I did the first batch, I ama linked and did the above mention process creating a running job in the background queue. Then I created a second bin from a different folder of more clips from the same source drive but in a different folder. Same process as above and now a 2nd job is created in the background queue that is pending the first jobs completion.
Now I want to pause between the first job in the background queue and the second on. I click stop button on the 2nd job and it goes from "running" to "cancelled" and there is a circular arrow icon to the right to restart the job. My question is after the 1st job completes the background transcoding will stop. I plan to then get the first jobs media off to offline before beginning the second job. With the 2nd job cancelled but still showing the restart arrow icon I know I can pick it up but what if I have to restart Avid for some reason? Or I have to unmount the source disk for some reason at the break? Will that job still be in the background queue after restarting Avid? Yesterday on the first round I didn't need a pause but today I do. Given the bin gets populated with .new clips of the original ama clips even before the media is created I'm wondering would I have to redo the 2nd batch if I quit Avid or had some other interruption or will it wake up and still show the 2nd job in the background queue waiting for me to hit the restart icon?
Unfortunately this transcode was thrown in my lap unexpectedly and I didn't have any media to practice with and now time is of the essence and I'm trying to avoid any potential pitfalls if possible. So far I've been transcoding straight through with one break to swap source drives and offload media to a shuttle drive sense yesterday at 2pm and so far no crashes. Uh oh just stepped in it there didn't I?
