[Avid-L2] Re: decompose issues

That's how Avid has always worked, as far as I know. When you decompose media from tape it can use timecode to recapture just what you want. It doesn't read timecode from quicktimes, though, so it can't create a partial clip for reimport. It has to reimport the whole thing.

I'd suggest picking up some external drives, reimport and fill them up with your higher rez, then export a quicktime reference and reimport it with your main media drives as the target. Keep the externals for last minute changes at full rez.

When I decompose my sequence to uprez to DNxHD 175, the new clips it creates are always the duration of the entire source clip, not just the portion used in my timeline, no matter the length of handle I indicate in the Decompose settings. Since the source files are all an hour each, this creates an unwieldy amount of media to be batch imported, and my limited storage can't handle hours of DNxHD 175. Anyone know why this is happening? Is it a long-GOP issue? I even tried exporting a "Same as Source" QT from Avid and then re-importing that to see if it's an issue with the codec of the original file, but the problem persists.
