16 tracks of audio is one reason. If I needed to export an xdcam mxf that is limited to 8 tracks as far as I know. If I was to make it in Avid I would have to mixdown the whole timeline to XDCam50 and then export same as source I suppose.
I try to avoid mixdowns to save storage space as I only have 16 TB available and have to keep several series online at the same time.
Using Adobe Media Encoder frees up Avid so I can continue to work.
If there was a way to not have to mix down I might consider using Avid. I haven't tried but if I did a custom export I suppose I could choose XDCam 50 422 as the codec but then that opens up the issues of QT Engine creating gamma shifts etc...
Is there a way without mixing down to export to an XDCam50 .mov and keep the 16 audio stems as discrete tracks. I know I can address the interleaved audio with QT map but I try to avoid that whenever possible.
I think the two main reasons to sum up would be avoiding the mixdowns and being able to continue to work in Avid. Most probably don't mind the mixdowns like I do. After two to three years of working this way I'm not ready to give it up especially now that I have found the audio stems were causing the problem.
