Re: [Avid-L2] Subcap master list not accessible?

 

Yes, I've also seen SubCap text export sometimes stripping most of the file name, but the file is actually created. It just needs a little renaming help afterwards....

[Avid-L2] Canon C300 MKII AMA link/import problem in MC 8.6.3

 

I recently got some material from a Canon C300 MKII, shot in XF-AVC 160mbit, 1920x1080, 25p.

I tried to AMA link it in MC 8.6.3 ( latest Canon AMA plugin installed) but media browser says ' Can't be linked'. The clip does appear in a bin but if I select it MC says: ' Unknown compression type'.

Also importing doesn't work ( MC: "cannot import this mxf file in a bin; use the appropriate ama plugin").

Scratch Play software does play the files and they appear ok.


I'm on OSX 10.11.6 and tried two different setups ( macpro/ macbookpro).

Other material from the 'old' C300 was never a problem.



Anyone?

Thanks!

Re: [Avid-L2] Trim Mode Does Not Update Picture A-Side - B-Side?

 

I'll say it's not normal.

Software only. 8.6.3 on Mac 10.10.5.

This is maddening. I've resorted to add more frames than I know I'll need and then cutting gout the surplus, but this is pathetic.

Perhaps there's some setting I'm not seeing, something new in 8.6.3 that I need to check or uncheck? For god's sake, man… Trim Mode! I live in Trim Mode so this is very very bad. I hope I'm just doing something wrong, brcause if this is a bug, then I hate it. I hate it hard.

To do this. AMA link to the files. Then unlink the files using the unlink command. (In 8.5 Right click on the clips goto modify clip/unlink on older versions I think it was Ctrl/Shift Clip to get to the unlink mode). Once unlinked go to the modify clip/tracks menu and untick the data track. Then relink to your AMA files and they should link without the data track enabled. They should now consolidate/transcode. This worked for me on about 200 dodgy clips. Try it on one clip 1st - if it works you can do it on all the rest.

the data track is only used for closed captions so shouldn't be a problem to lose it.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Fancy Optical Discs for Archive

 

I know, but this one I trust. Sony continues developing the format, right now doubling both capacity and speed. We love them far more than the LTO tapes we abandoned because of tape errors.

Re: [Avid-L2] FS7 Clips random errors

 

One more: got Perian installed? Remove it. Perian will crash out Avid transcodes. I realize this is way less likely now than in years past, but doesn't hurt to mention.

If you AMA and the clip does not come in with either a Start or End time, dump it and re-AMA it until it does. Any time a clip is linked and it's missing one of those values, the clip will fail in transcoding. Most of the time you won't know because Start and End are not always columns you have visible.

Over the years I've seen all sorts of such problems.  Some clips will crash MC when I try the AMA-and-transcode route but will import Ok.  Some clips will consistently fail in a batch import but will always import one-at-a-time.  Some clips will come in and edit seemingly without a problem but then won't compress going out; I'll have to export same-as-source and re-compress later.  Go figure.

HI
Im transcoding clips from a DP I work with often. Never had an issue with his material that he shoots on an FS7. This time, while transcoding, I get random errors every once in a while and the clip won't transcode. Duration varies from 1 minute to 4 minutes. Like now, I have som 45 clips to transcode and every once in a while it stops with an error. I move past that clip and it then goes on. 4 clips so far out of this 45. Yesterday it was only one clip and I opened in QT Pro and exported as Pro Res. It then transcoded no problem.

What could be the issue with these random clips? Or could it have nothing to do with the clips and its some Avid thing?

Anyone else run into this?

thanks
