Re: [Avid-L2] Another weird thing - export/compression doesn't look like timeline

Same as source will let you have multiple DNxHD resolutions in one file which the Avid is fine with, however, it upsets all of the Adobe software.

Our long workaround is to do a video mixdown, and export that track same as source.

This always makes the Adobe stuff happy.

I did some color correction (of course) and have some lower thirds that are three layers on top of the color corrections: a semi-transparent QT import cropped of a slow mo American flag on the bottom, a Title Tool graphic on top of that and the client's logo on top of that (shrunk and repositioned from a .PNG file).

In the timeline, it looks like it should. Cut to the interview, wait a beat, dissolve in the lower third.

But then I export as Same as Source and bring in to Adobe Media Encoder and the color correction drops out during the lower thirds.

I went back in and re-rendered the lower thirds by deleting the renders and making sure that the logo and the text were not above legal colors.

The export is ALSO fine, but running it through Adobe Media Encoder CC kills the color corrections under the lower thirds!!!! How is this possible?

Then I did the export in Compressor and it was fine? What the heck?
