[Avid-L2] AJA IO Express and thunderbolt connection?

 

I have an IO Express with the pcie adapter and the express 34 adapter.  If I wanted to use this with a new thunderbolt iMac I assume the easiest method would be be some sort of TB to express34 adapter or is there a TB to pcie adapter that would plug directly into the IO express pcie connector or it's cable?  Anybody running such a configuration?  Obviously the newer aja boxes with TB would be the best but given I already own the IO Express trying to figure out how to make it useful.

[Avid-L2] Avid dongle for sale

 

Hi all,

I have a Media Composer dongle for sale, currently blasted at version 6. This could be upgraded to v.8 with the $299 upgrade option, for example.

Not sure what to ask, but a new license with the dongle option is around $1800, I believe, so having the dongle saves you around $1500. I'm open to reasonable offers.

I'm located in Montreal, but am happy to ship to the US or UK.

Contact me at vito (at) nosmallroles (dot) com

Thanks!

Re: [Avid-L2] where is fast import?

 

AMA Transcode Uses all the cores better, from my experience.


Consolidate would be more analogous to fast import than transcode, so Job may be right.  Never seriously tested it.

I could be mistaken, but my understanding is that this will not be happening anytime soon -- if at all.

I just checked, and it does not.

AMA still thinks that the volume is empty AVCHD folder, and manually selecting the MP4 files yields the WRONG FORMAT slate.

MC 7.0.3 on Mac OS 10.8.5.

Re: [Avid-L2] PAL Conversion Question

Because it won't look great (stutters) and is likely to not be accepted by a broadcaster.
23.976p/24p<->25p conversions are best done with 1:1 frame:frame conversion (ergo: speed-up).
It's the way they do it for any PAL videoreleases of 23.976/24p sources (like 95% of all feature films, for starters)

Re: [Avid-L2] Aux timecode behavior on duplicated clip

 


I don't think so. That AuxTC will be linked to the source/tape/timecode within that particular project. Why not use AuxTC2 or any of the other options?

Newscutter 9.5

 

Say I have a clip with the timecode copied (ctl+d etc) to aux timecode 1 (or any aux track)

 

If I duplicate the clip (in the bin or in Interplay Access), and modify the aux timecode on the duplicate - the aux tc on the original alters as well. As this process was part of a syncing attempt (long story) this is unwanted.

 

I had understood a "duplicate"was a completely separate and unique metadata asset. Is this not the case?

[Avid-L2] Monitor recommendation requested

 

You mentioned "Mercury Transmit".  Are your playback issues with the iOXT only in Premiere?


I had noticed playback issues in Premiere with my AJA KONA card...on tutorial material that was AVC encoded MP4 video.  Upon further investigation, I discovered it was the audio that the Kona did not like.  The audio was compressed AAC.   Switching the audio output to the Mac instead of the Kona (leaving video still handled by the Kona), the playback issue went away.

For color accuracy, you need to avoid computer displays...especially connected directly via Thunderbolt.  Avid doesn't send out an accurate for color grading signal that way. You need a thunderbolt IO device, like that IoXT you have.  That might have been a bum unit, because I have one too, use it with my macbook pro, and the system is very speedy. I see no different with or without it, performance wise.  There are also the Decklink Ultrastudio mini monitor...or AJA T-Tap...  And then an HDTV, or broadcast monitor.

Hi


If I want to rename the end portion of a bunch of clip names in a bin, is there a way to park my cursor in the middle of the clip name & then is there a shortcut key to delete EVERYTHING after where my cursor is parked to the end of the clip name?
