Re: [Avid-L2] Can't link to Avid exported Tiff Sequence?

Thanks for the info.  I'm surprised I never ran across this before.

Re: [Avid-L2] Can't link to Avid exported Tiff Sequence?

You can't link to TIFF until v.2019.8. You can only import Targa and TIFF.

Support for TIFF files in Live Link

This release supports using Live Link with TIFF files. For details on using Live Link, see "QuickTime Workflow Using QuickTime Live Link" in the Help. TIFF files are linked using the Avid Generic Plug-in.

[Avid-L2] Should QTchange do MXF as well?

Just asking. I think I can add 'some' functionality, but it will be, well, 'work'…
Oh, for those behind, QTchange is no longer dependent on the QT framework (that died with 64 bits OS), and it now does Mp4, BRAW, CRM, Cinema DNG and ArriRaw (.arx / .ari)

I want to add support for MXF.
Mind you, I'm talking changing metadata WITHOUT transcode or copy, so it will be lightning fast / won't require additional storage.

Then, what to change? I can do in-file TC / Reel / Filename (bin name) changing, but I can also add a gazzilion amount of metadata over XMP (if you are a Premiere user, or use something else that understands XMP.)
