[Avid-L2] Re: Avid AAF to Davinci Resolve

 

In Resolve 9 if you want to view the RED files in the media pool "Reel No" with just the first 16 characters of the name (that means with out the _001 or the _001.R3D) all you need to do is:

1) click on the gear icon and go to the "Master Project Settings" panel
2) Under Conform Options:
Use Timecode - put a bullet next to "Embedded in the source clip"
put a check mark next to "Assist using reel names from the:"
put a bullet next to "Embedded in source clip file"
3) go to the "Presets" panel
now click on the "Save As" button in the lower left of the window
4) I would name it something like "Embedded"

I wonder if that would now work for you.
sometimes I have to optimize my database before I can get the settings to stick in Resolve 9.

Basically when I import the AAF into Resolve it does not link automatically to the Red footage I brought into the media pool. In the past with other projects, I have had no problem with it linking automatically. It does, however, link with a force conform, but that seems to be more a workaround rather than solving the problem.

Re: [Avid-L2] OT: DPX delivery...

 

ah, was unaware of the distance from destination. For the projects I work on we usually follow a naming scheme that includes a Project Prefix, Scene Number/Name, Version Number, then other stuff that the vendor may want to include, with each part separated by an Underscore. Followed by a Dot, then Frame Number, then Dot Extension. Usually with a Slate at frame 0000. And 8 frame handles if applicable. And we usually establish what the Project Prefix and Scene Number/Name is for each shot. It usually ends up looking something like

ABC_123_v003_useless.####.dpx

But could easily be

ABC_TTL_v003
ABC_EndRol_v003
ABC_MOE_v003

But consistency in naming from version to version is key to not annoying the client. But worst case is that they have a rename app like A Better Finder Rename that they use to rename all your files as they curse you.

[Avid-L2] From the Shameless Self Promotion Dept.

 

Dear Listers

I just finished editing the premiere
episode of "Crimes Of The Century" for
Ridley Scott.

Below is a link to the series trailer. The
first episode entitled "Hunt For the DC
Snipers" features what I believe to be a
unique editorial style in the retelling of
a story you may have thought you knew.

It airs this Sunday night on CNN at
9pmET/6pmPT and then again at 12pmET/9pmPT.

Crimes Of The Century Series Trailer

Re: [Avid-L2] OT: DPX delivery...

I do know that usually frame numbers are padded to four or five digits. The
slate might be '00000' followed by first frame of picture 00001. Maybe
you're already doing that-

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: MC v6.x + AVCHD . . . ? Veering OT....

 

Scott,

I am really enjoying the FS100. Going on my 3rd week with it and really getting used to it. With buying it, I needed it to do run and gun type stuff as well as beauty shots with different lenses for a web series I am shooting. The FS was the best choice for my budget. I would have liked it if they added the servo zoom on it for Sony e mount lenses.
Agreed that the shape and feel of it is strange but I'm getting used to it.
I ordered a blackmagic hyperdeck shuttle 2 to be able to get uncompressed and dnxhd out of the camera.
Really enjoying it though!

[Avid-L2] 2 more AMA GUIDES AVAILABLE - total now 4

 

(cross posted to AVID ACSR and AVID-L 2)

I have posted two more AMA Guides at www.paul-sampson.ca.

AMA RED and AMA QUICKTIME now join the two from last week, AMA CANON XF and AMA AVCHD.

5 more to come...XDCAM and XDCAM-EX, P2, AMA Master Guide, HDCAMSR, GFCAM.

I would like to thank the folks at AVID as well as the various manufacturers for their support in this project. At Avid, particularly:

Robert Russo
Randy Martens
Kris Fong
Matt Feury
Keith Gerrard

Also Angus Mackay who got me started down this path.

I have already had some feedback and corrections (thanks Steven Schecter and Jayasri Hart!). I will make these changes as soon as possible. If anybody else has any corrections, advice or suggestions please contact me offlist so I don't miss your comments.

Now, with the release of MC Version 7, I get to start over....

Hey Zach

How do you like the FS100? I am evaluating one and have shot some with it. Image quality is fine, some ability to swap out lenses, and I like the fact there is no zoom servo on it (these are for students...the less zoom the better), but ergonomically clunky and a pain to do handheld with. Thoughts?

[Avid-L2] OT: DPX delivery...

 

I was recently roped in to finishing an end roller for a film that will be shown theatrically, something that I have never had to do before.

I am delivering a 10bit Log DPX sequence out of After Effects CS6. I don't think I have to do anything in terms of formatting Linux hard drives or anything like that, I think I'm just delivering the DPX sequence to someone else who will stitch it together with the rest of the film and take care of all of that.

Does anyone know if there is any special etiquette for delivering a DPX sequence? A certain naming convention or folder structure? Can I just give them a folder called "sequencename_DPX_export" containing the files and a firm handshake?

I'm guessing yes but just didn't want to make some horrible post-production faux pas.

Even doing this fairly straightforward task I came across so many questions to do with delivering to the correct standard, I don't know how people keep it all in their heads! Anyone ever seen 2560x1350 as a delivery size? I thought 2K was supposed to be either 2048x858 for 2.39:1 or 1998x1080 for 1.85:1?

Cheers,

Andi

RE: [Avid-L2] MC v6.x + AVCHD . . . ?

 

Thanks Roger,

I'm freelance so it's not up to me but Bouke always has a bunch of cool stuff on his site. I have found that if the structure is lost I can still AMA to file rather than volume on v.6. I'll be doing a bunch tonight for a new show that has deemed it a good idea to shoot AVCHD minicams, so I have hours and hours of AVCHD material in which maybe 5 seconds of usable footage happens when someone walks past a mirror etc. Rather than take the time to select TCs so I can sub off a tiny section and just transcode that, they want the whole bunch in. Sigh...

You might want to consider this: http://www.videotoolshed.com/product/69/avidmxfcreator.



In my case it does not offer a speed advantage but you can create Avid media on a non-Avid machine, offloading the transcoding. Helps me with MC 4 and 5.5 where there is no AMA for AVCHD. I've been testing the demo but will almost certanly buy it. Also deals with rogue loose .MTS files if the card structure is lost.

Re: [Avid-L2] MC v6.x + AVCHD . . . ?

 

You might want to consider this: http://www.videotoolshed.com/product/69/avidmxfcreator.

In my case it does not offer a speed advantage but you can create Avid media on a non-Avid machine, offloading the transcoding. Helps me with MC 4 and 5.5 where there is no AMA for AVCHD. I've been testing the demo but will almost certanly buy it. Also deals with rogue loose .MTS files if the card structure is lost.
