[Avid-L2] What are Interplay ",render" Sequences?

 

Interplay is accumulating duplicates of edited sequences with the term ",render" appended to their name.  


I believe some operation using the Production Services Broker is creating these duplicate Sequences.

Has anybody seen these, and can you advise how they are being born?

[Avid-L2] Progress Bar Settings

 

Starting back in version 2018.3, Avid introduced a feature for progress bars to open on the primary monitor instead of the mouse control monitor. Is there a way to turn this "feature" off? I have a dual-monitor setup and for my workflow it's much better to have the progress bars follow the mouse control, just like the old design. Thanks for any tips!

Re: [Avid-L2] NewBlue Titler Pro 5 question

 

It's more like it loses its way. There's a graphic that is fine in a sequence (in this case typing on letters) and then at some point it becomes a graphic that says "Enter Text" with no animation...which to me doesn't seem like a font issue.

I assume at that point it must be referring to another file somewhere but has lost its link. Maybe it's a render file. Maybe it's some sort of NBTP file. I'm trying to better understand that underlying organization. 

When one works in NBTP coming out of the Avid timeline/effects interface into the NBTP interface, it offers to save a project file but when you are done, it asks if you want to save your changes (even if you save the project). If yes, it then churns out some other "stuff" when you quit from the interface. What is exactly happening there and where do those files go? 

It could be that when I got the sequence, I should have made sure to get the NBTB project files. If the specific graphic becomes unrendered than it goes looking for that project file and if they aren't there, defaults to "Enter Text".

In short, I just don't understand the relationship between the Avid sequence and the NBTB project file and whatever those files are that it creates when you quit the interface.

Not sure if you've solved it. If it's a graphics issue - an honest to god text issue - there's no reason you shouldn't be able to dial it up by opening the project, unless you don't have the font in question; but, if there was an asset attached to it, that may not have ported over when you received the project, and that would mean that you aren't going to be able to re-create it just by opening, but will have to rebuild.

Subject: [Avid-L2] How can I find which clip a MXF file relates to?

 
Trying to have a clear-out of Interplay here. I see some huge old files in Avid Mediafiles, but have no idea which clips they relate to given that the clip names may have been changed after they were originally created.

Is there any way  to derive the current clip name from the mxf file?

Thanks, Tim

Re: [Avid-L2] NewBlue Titler Pro 5 question

 

I've been there and the only workaround I found was to go back to the
original title and output it with an alpha. In order to do that I had to
reinstall the previous version. Good luck.

[Avid-L2] NewBlue Titler Pro 5 question

 

I realize I should RTFM but I'm hoping to buy a vowel.

I have an inherited sequence with titles created in NewBlue Titler Pro which I have managed to avoid learning.

Every once in while some of the titles in the sequence lose some reference they need so that an animated title that once worked becomes "Enter Text".

Going into effects mode and opening NBTP doesn't change that situation.

Anyone understand what is going on under the hood?

Thanks!

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Understanding Full Range vs Legal and Scaling of ProRes4444 in Adobe

 

I'm basing the comparison primarily on a traditional import with no scaling selected.  I have made sure with the ama linked clips there are no color adapters in source settings.  Even with the color bars jpeg I see the difference in levels only in that case the animation codec is right and the prores 444 is low.  Perhaps there could be some involvement of the QT engine with a traditional import but if that were causing the issue then I should see proper levels on ama linking and incorrect levels with a traditional import.  I see the same results whether I traditional import with no scaling or ama link.

It has become a moot point because we found it will be okay to deliver ProRes 4444 keyable graphics but I would sure like to understand what is really going on here.

Yeah what Pat said. If I remember correctly, MC always reads Animation codec QTs as needing some adapter - and also sometimes throws that on 444 files as well. I've seen 444 files come in where they're legal on the bottom and over on the top - some weirdo interpretation of values. Animation is RGB and always needs an adjustment when linking in a YUV project. Also of note: Animation codec is SO OLD and I bet is on its way to pasture. Don't trust any default reading by any application for it. If you are slightly off one way or the other, it is just as easy to chalk up to the legacy codec interpretation.

Did you check the source setting when ama linking? And the colour adapter? MC may have added a colour adapter full range to video. Only if no colour adapters are showing is the AMA result bypassed.

Yes I made sure there were no color adapters on the ama linked clips.

[Avid-L2] Control over Render resolution of Generator effects?

 

Working in 2018.4.0 but this has been a longstanding mystery for me.

If I add a generator effect (like a window TC) to a video track at the top of a sequence it lists in the timeline a resolution that is not the same as what is set in the Media Creation Setting under Effects or Render.

In the Render settings I've tried unchecking the "same as source" box thinking maybe it was defaulting to the highest resolution found in the sequence.

My concern about this may be based on a false assumption. While the size of the render file is somewhat a factor, I wondered if the render takes longer, blowing up what is largely a DNX 145 sequence to 4k. If that is indeed a false assumption and the 4k rendering size doesn't matter that I guess this less of a concern.

Thanks for any insight.

D.

OK - I added FCPX to my High Sierra test volume and updated the pro codecs from the App Store ... and everything came back.
