[Avid-L2] Re: Transcoded Footage shows up as AMA-linked (yellow)

 

Hi guys,

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll try them. The only modifications I made to the transcoded footage was to add Tape ID, but I've successfully done this before in this project, with my same project user settings.

I think I have a follow up question, since four of my cards keep crashing my Avid when I try to transcode. I keep thinking the transcoded footage showing up as AMAolinked is by-product of whatever is causing my Avid to crash.

I am able to view footage in XDCAM Clip Browser. I have tried copying the footage from a difference source drive; tried exporting a MXF for NLE in Browser & importing into MC; recreate the BPAV folder using the Browser Import; directly importing the mp4 file. MC crashed each time, giving me an "Assertion Failed FALSE" error. A quick search said to delete the msm database files. That didn't help either.

Since I am running an older version of MC 4.0.5, is it possible that I am missing a plugin? The two cameras that were used on this shoot: SONY PMW EX3/ firmware v.1.02_0078 and SONY PMW F3/ firmware v.1.10. Camera shot to various SXS cards and one SxS-1 card.

As always, many thanks,

Jaclyn
