  Batch import issues

  Posted by Colin Fowler on November 6, 2010 at 3:22 pm

  Hello, I’m using MC 2.7.2, editing offline essentially at 28:1, and the footage is from a 7D. When I go to consolidate and eventually batch import, the entire source clip is being brought in at full resolution as opposed to just the clip with 24 frame handles (as I have selected). Does anyone have any idea why this is going on, I’m starting to get real pissed after wasting days trying to figure out this seemingly simple step.

  Thanks

  You originally imported a Quicktime. Avid doesn’t import partial Quicktimes, even after consolidation, so that’s why it’s reimporting the entire file.

  I honestly don’t know how you’d get around this. Set it to batch import at night before you go home and let it crunch while you sleep.

  What’s strange though is I wasn’t having this problem the other day, Avid was actually batch importing just the clips i needed to upres and now It’s taking me for a ride. Thanks for the input.
