[Avid-L2] Update to Mavericks after MC 7.0.3 installed

 

Out of curiosity has anyone installed MC 7.0.3 under OS X 10.8.5 and then subsequently updated to Mavericks 10.9.1? If so, was there any special procedure to follow with the MC installation? Does it need to be uninstalled and re-installed or can you simply update the OS?

Re: [Avid-L2] Trying to help a friend

Hi Job, John, and Mark,

Job, your relink suggestion was actually the general advice I gave to him. I'll check in with him and see what's up. Mark, I'll pass your idea along too. And I hear you too John . . . let's hope he doesn't get stuck having to overcut!

Thanks gents!

This is way simpler than is being suggested. No need to modify tape names or nothing – provided you're on 6.5 or later.

In the relink window, you can force which columns to link up. Meaning you can tell MC to relink whatever is in the TAPE column (where 3rd party transcoding apps will place the source file name) to whatever is in the SOURCE FILE column (where AMA lists the source file name).

You should be good in seconds.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Trying to help a friend

 

In this case, the only "easy" way to be able to relink positively in MC is if the imported files have matching timecode to the originals. If they do, everything else (file/clip names, "tape" names) can be changed to facilitate a relink. If they don't, codes can still be modified, but it's a lot longer and more tedious. So that's a simple question to answer.

If the codes match, then I would make sure the imported clip names match the source names of the Alexa files. Change these if needed. Group them into bins according to card/reel and assign a unique tape name to each card/reel's worth of clips. Once that's done, take the imported media offline (move the Avid MediaFiles/MXF/# folder to a different location). Link the Alexa files via AMA into bins sorted by card/reel. Assign the same tape names to the AMA clips as was assigned previously to the offline clips. Duplicate the cut sequence and relink this duplicate.

I've done this a bunch of times and it has never failed me, provided that the codes match, file/clip names match, and tape names match. Newer versions may be able to link on less than that, but it's easy enough to make this happen.

Sounds like the quickest thing is start over cutting. It is a short so how many shots could it be. If the imports don't indicate clearly which prores file to look for the shot on and if the imports didn't carry over the time code it's tedious. Sometimes looking for the quick fix takes longer than the brute force approach of over cutting. Then again perhaps I don't know the whole picture here.

[Avid-L2] Trying to help a friend

 



Hey gang,

I'm trying to help a friend, and am passing this message along.
I gave him my 2¢ worth of advice, but I know there are bigger brains on this list.
Any thoughts appreciated . . .

[Avid-L2] RE: quick mc7 purchasing questions

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I called videoguys and had all of my questions answered and the order placed faster than I could I even find a page to try to search for the question on the avid site. And, my dongle did qualify for upgrade pricing.

thanks list and happy new year.

Of course, a VAR should be able to give you this info quickly via phone.

Hi folks -

I'm trying to make a last minute end of year purchase of MC7 and i'm getting very frustrated trying to find some simple info on Avid's site.

I have an MC 3.5 dongle - I'm just wondering if this does anything for me as far as qualifying for upgrade pricing (I don't expect it but would love to confirm).

Also I'm purchasing to install on a system I won't have access to for a week or so. So I would just like to confirm that I can purchase today and if there's anything tricky here if that makes sense.

I'm sorry to clog the list with this but Avid's site is impossible and Marianna is on vacation. Thanks for your help!
