I am still happily employed by Avid and have not left.

Let me see if I can catch up with this thread. But the best way to post something that I'll see is on the Avid Community Symphony Forum.

Re: [Avid-L2] Does Red Rocket accellerate Avid Red ama workflows?

 


>
> No. But RCX creates clips with Tape names, whereas AMA creates clips with Source File names, and these cannot be changed or cross-linked (although I'm not sure if that changed in v6).

To be more specific: although Source File and Tape Name can be cross-linked, there is an issue with spanned clips (files that are bigger than 2GB) getting different filenames when linked through AMA as compared to RCX or other workflows. And that's what makes cross-linking problematic, and the advise remains: AMA all-the-way or RCX all-the-way. Don't mix methods.

Background

Avid-L was established in 1994 at Calvin College by Steven Koster.
It was created to be a forum for Avid users to meet, discuss, and share
information.

Avid-L quickly grew into the premiere on-line users group for
professional film and video editors. It was one of the earliest examples

of an Internet community, allowing hundreds of editors worldwide to
share their experiences and expertise with their peers. There was no
better place for a professional Avid editor to get such wealth of
informed professional advice.

At various times, individual subscribers volunteered services to the
group. Searchable archives were maintained by Germany's Berlin Users
Group as well as the UIUC. A tips & tricks list was posted by Andy
Birkhead of Innovative Edit. Wes Plate, a longtime contributor, not only

shared key techniques on his Web site, he also created a photo gallery
for members' portraits.

In 1997, several subscribers began a tradition of meeting in person at
the NAB trade show in Las Vegas. The first gatherings were organized by Jaime Fowler. In 1999,
Avid Technology itself began sponsoring these gatherings as an exclusive reception and seminar for Avid-L members only. In 2002, this changed to the "Avid Users Group" meeting.

By 1999, Avid-L boasted over 1600 subscribers, exhibiting a true
international scope with over 300 international members. The community
included participants from a wide variety of well-known corporate
organizations in broadcasting, technical, and content creation fields,
as well as and multiple local TV stations, colleges, and universities.

In 2000, Avid-L joined AvidProNet.com, and then, in 2002, was integrated
Into Avid.com.

In 2005 Due to problems with signal to noise ratio and abusive posters, the Avid-L2 was formed. A year later the Avid-L was discontinued by Avid.

At the middle of 2006, the L2 has around 1100 members, with plenty of "lurker only" members who simply use the web version of the list. The L2 is spam-free, by moderation and with Yahoo's tools and will remain that way. The integrated archives with both old L and L2 posts came on line recently as well at the University of Illinois. That can be found at http://archives.itg.uiuc.edu/avid/.

Cross-posting to the FCP-L is welcome, tho reply's will not flow back to either list necessarily- check your own email reply preferences. The Final Cut list is found at: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/FinalCutPro-L

Welcome, and Enjoy!

Re: [Avid-L2] Advice for restoring old project

 

Audio would be SD2. Not sure if current Macs can still open that. But I'm fairly certain that I once managed to bring SD2 OMF media into a 2005 Mac MC Adrenaline (v1 or 2 or so). Could you try to find such a system, then transcode to AIF or WAV?

If you do this outside Avid, all relevant metadata is gone of course.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Does Red Rocket accellerate Avid Red ama workflows?

 



> So that means that if we created mxf 10:1 avid media using RedCineX and dropped those into an existing avidmediafiles folder and brought the clips in using media tool those clips would be considered imports?

No. But RCX creates clips with Tape names, whereas AMA creates clips with Source File names, and these cannot be changed or cross-linked (although I'm not sure if that changed in v6).

As a rule of thumb, you either go and stay AMA, OR you go RCX and stay RCX.

> Am I confused about RedCineX's functionality here. Does it only create QT files for Avid import or does it also create Avid mxf media directly

RCX does create Avid MXF (and/or QT), but only DNxHD, so no JFIF SD 10:1.

I missed your answer about the framerate this is shot at. But when going Red in the US, I would recommend shooting and posting in 23.976, and only add pulldown and go to 59.54i at the very end. With offline in DNxHD36.

Another recommendation is this webinar from Avid about Red workflows:

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Advice for restoring old project

 

How hard can it be to convert the files to BWF, or even Avid MXF?
Only thing is i don't know how tc / reelname live in the file (but if the
reel is part of the filename, that can't be hard...)
If someone can mail me a couple of files, (with the proper framerate and
suspected start tc!) i'll have a look.

I want to say SD2 went bye bye with OS9. We had a ton of issues trying to
restore a project years ago for the same reason.
