Ok, so you can't bring the SD source clips over and rebatch as HD.
When you try to modify the SD source clip to HD you get a warning that
only sequences can have their format modified.
I did try the other sequence catch and yea, it worked. I cut another
sequence from the same clips, brought it over, modified and was able
to relink to the DNxHD36 material. This was just a very short
sequence, seven shots from seven different subclips. So I'm going to
try something more elaborate this next week.
This show was originated on SR and not film so I don't have any
keycode issues to track.
I did notice that the modification of the audio TC. It's being
translated from 30TC to 24TC. But I don't think that is going to be
an impact on us since we use AAF exports to give to the sound
department the MXF audio media from the Avid to work with. And that
would include all the iso tracks so they they should match. All the
sound work is done on ProTools, including the pre-dubs to the print
master. But I'll need to do a test with that workflow too.
So my plan is to take a sequence made from the synced subclips of each
day's material, which I already have for dailies tapes, and bring
those over to the HD project. Modify the format of the sequence.
Show Source and then batch capture and batch import. Then away we go.
Keep the scenarios coming. I really need to make sure I have this
covered.
Thanks for the help.
