Re: [Avid-L2] Importing a Resolve Generated AAF into an Avid Bin??? Destruction of metadata???

Qt ref... OMG talk about complicating things...

Here is a simpler way:

in Avid make a video mixdown (this creates a new .MXF file) cut the mixdown on top of the c300 spanned clip send to resolve. CC, render .mxf back. In Avid: relink. the new CC video mixdown will relink back to it's file.

If your media have no tape name but was AMA into avid be careful to add tape names as doing that will kill the AMA link.

instead add information as "tape ID" this will maintain the AMA link and in Avid 6.5 and above could be relinked.

this is getting very very convoluted... but so is the work flow. hopefully some of this back and forth makes sense :)

I've never been able to ama to QT ref .movs. I've been mostly working on 5.5.x does V6 and above allow ama linking to QT ref files?

Other issues/gotchas with Resolve/Avid .mxf round trip relinking and playback that I have noticed with using .mxf round trips..
An Avid collapsed effect - the video on the lowest number track will be pulled only.
Some Avid Fast Import created .mxf files are not supported in Resolve.
I recommend to stay away from using video mixdowns.
spanned c300 files will not playback properly or render properly in Resolve v9 and the current version that I tested of version 10 - for c300 these I handle them by first prepping in the Avid by exporting a quicktime reference file naming the file the same name as the master clip's source found in "Bin Menu>Set Bin Display>Souces". I AMA these and transcode the quicktime reference file so I end up with a pretty exact file that will now link and playback in Resolve.
