Curious if others have run into this.
Another editor and I are working on the same media using duplicate media drives. All footage is from C300 and 5D MkIII cameras, but it has already been converted to ProResHQ 23.98p prior to the edit. It has proper TC and reel numbers courtesy of FCP 7 Log & Transfer and/or MPEG Streamclip/QtChange. All source clips were only from the converted ProResHQ QuickTime media.
The other editor did the rough cut edit using MC 5.0. All media was accessed via AMA Link to File. I picked up the edit for client revisions using the cloned media drive and his imported MC project. I'm on MC 6.5. When I relinked to the media on the clone drive, about 20% of the files failed to relink. This appeared to be a duration mismatch. Somehow one system saw the media files as 1 frame less than the other.
For any of the clips that didn't relink, I brought them in again via AMA and cut them back into the sequences. Then I noticed that all clips, which had successfully relinked, no longer had source TC. The clips that I had to bring in again DID display TC. Yet when I reviewed the exported rough cut file that the other editor had output from his session (with burn in), those clips did have TC that was read on MC 5.0. But they didn't show source TC on MC 6.5 unless brought in again as new AMA clips.
In any case, the files that relinked, but had no TC, still appeared in their correct positions in all the sequences. Since both MC systems were using identical copies of the same media, this appears to be a problem between MC 5.0 and 6.5 related to AMA media relinking.
Thoughts?
