Re: [Avid-L2] Adobe Media Encoder is misreading video levels?

After all these Fing hoops I find that when I bake out the XDCAM 50 in AME to add pulldown to the already XDCAM 50 23.976 exported from Avid it creates small specular spikes that trigger the scope alarms. Ama linking back to the original Avid Export 23.976 XDCAM file and no alarms. Ama link to the AME backed out XDCAM 50 with pulldown and a ton of alamrs of lower luma levels. WTF???

But here is the deal breaker. As AME was encoding I noticed it would pause for several seconds and then pick back up. When it picked back up I noticed Red frame flashes, but not after every stall. Well those Red frames are backed into the resulting files. DOUBLE WTF WTF!!!!!

Not only is AME putting Red frames in the file I'm seeing Red now. So as suggested I will now do a video mixdown and export directly from Avid. Sitting here watch my Higher Power Progress bar is not helping my Love and Tolerance one bit. I thought finally using AME would solve many of my file based problems but NOOOOOOO. Well I am over 50 so I guess I was due for the Fileoscopy. ;-)

This is interesting are you saying I can take my Avid sequence and export to XDCAM OP1a and while it's cranking on that I can open the file in Adobe Media Encoder and start it baking the converted file adding pulldown and making a new XDCAM OP1a at 29.97I? What happens if AME cranks faster than Avid is putting out the mxf file?

Besides, you can start transcoding while Avid is still working on the MXF. Huge timesaver.

Why not mixdown your sequence, open the mixed down sequence in a 60i project and export XDCAM Op1A MXF from there? Much easier.

I have never found any color level controls in AME, so I gave up on that.

To the best of my knowledge, an Op1A MXF XDCAM file has 8 tracks, whether or not they are in use. So why be bothered by the 8 tracks?

If I didn't have to do the frame rate conversion I would export direct from Avid but then I can only have 8 tracks of audio.
