  Symphony Using ARRI MXF Plugin For P2/AVC-Intra

  Posted by Robert Ober on June 29, 2013 at 2:53 pm

  Hello Folks,

  This was happening with 6.5.2x and is still happening with 6.5.3 . I tell Avid to AMA link to a Contents folder using link to volume and I get errors that it cannot link to 36 files (or whatever the number is). The console says:

  Link To AMA Volume -> /Volumes/max3av/Video/CONTENTS/AUDIO/
  MVP Used:[ Plugin Name = MVP_MSP_ARRI_MXF © 2011-2012 Hamburg Pro Media GmbH. All rights reserved. Version = 1.0 ]
  MSP Used:[ Plugin Name = MVP_MSP_ARRI_MXF © 2011-2012 Hamburg Pro Media GmbH. All rights reserved. Version = 1.0 ]

  Link To AMA Volume -> /Volumes/max3av/Video/CONTENTS/VIDEO/
  MVP Used:[ Plugin Name = MVP_MSP_ARRI_MXF © 2011-2012 Hamburg Pro Media GmbH. All rights reserved. Version = 1.0 ]
  MSP Used:[ Plugin Name = MVP_MSP_ARRI_MXF © 2011-2012 Hamburg Pro Media GmbH. All rights reserved. Version = 1.0 ]

  Kinda weird, wouldn’t you say?

  Seems like I saw something a while back about editing a preference file. I am guessing the ARRI plugin install hosed something.

  Ideas? Comments? Snide remarks?

  Thanks,
  Robert A. Ober

  Are you selecting the Arri plug-in first, then trying to open P2/AVC? Be sure to select AMA plug-in manually. v7 brings an autodetect feature with it that is really hit and miss, so remember to select plug-in first.

  Nope not selecting the ARRI plugin. Don’t think I know how. Never had to select a plugin in earlier revisions.

  Will try to find how to select an AMA plugin manually and try that. I can AMA link files but not Volume as before.

  So of course there is a dropdown UI when linking to AMA FILES to choose the plugin (never needed to do that) but not linking to AMA VOLUME. Did find a Digital Rebellion article that does mention the ARRI MXF taking precedence for some reason.

  Would like to resolve this for VOLUME mounting if anybody knows a way.
