Does this mean that a DPX sequence doesn't act like a typical targa sequence etc...? I've taken graphics that were a different frame rate and made targe or tiff sequences of them and then imported into Avid with the detect sequential frames box checked and those come in frame for frame on their own. Is importing a DPX sequence more like importing a QT where Avid does what it needs to to maintain proper running time.
I haven't dealt with much DPX in my Avid workflows. Usually it's been an intermediate step in converting Codex special media to DPX to then use Resolve to get it into an Avid friendly codec. This was before Avid had some DPX support IIRC.

DPX frames usually do have metadata burned into them to indicate the appropriate frame rate. Having said that there is an easy work around to what ever setting that is.
Since MC v8.3 and newer can AMA link to DPX sequences you can AMA link to your frames, go into Source Settings and adjust the frame rate to reflect the clips rate or the project rate. If you use the project rate it will then do the same as if you were importing a quicktime with "IgnoreQTrate True".
The thing to watch out for is that you cannot re-link subsequently to those frames. So if it is an offline, you have to deal with it in online. If you are at the finishing stage, just do it at the full res needed and don't be concerned.
