Re: [Avid-L2] AMA file Export

 

Well, seems easy enough.

If you AMA export to DNX in MXF OP1a, you have the option to do a mixdown to stereo. 
Then you have a nice in-between for encoding to H264.
FFmpeg can do that for you, and add the BITC if needed (And a logo if you want), and it can start while the Avid export is still running.

Only gotcha is that FFmpeg has to be slower than your export, or it will find quit the  encode while it has catched up with Avid's export.
So a few options:
Set FFmpeg to be dog slow (That will result in gorgeous but very low bitrate files.)
Or, learn how fast your export normally is, learn how fast FFmpeg is with your recipe, and do the math on how long you have to postpone the transcode.

(AME with a watch folder is also an option…)

So, once you've set it up, it's a simple few mouse clicks export and you can walk away, or start using your avid

Yes we have done that but quite a few steps and slow .. 2 encodes 

 

We were just trying to streamline and have the minimum steps

I'd do a video mixdown cut into seq then do a SAS export.
Still dnx36 size but I'd have a watch folder setup on a server to grab those sources and make H264 outputs off the Avid.
