Re: [Avid-L2] Avid and ProRes - no transcode

You should transcode. It's performance is very flaky prior to v6. In
version 6, it's still a bit risky to stay AMA, though i have gotten it to
work somewhat decently on smaller jobs....however "transcoding" is quick if
you go to ProRes MXF instead of Avid DNXHD, as it just does a re-wrap into
an MXF container. Pro Res is treated as a native format in v6.

I would not recommend editing with AMA at all.
