  • avid error AMA failed changing the clips to the desired quality prior to consolidate. Consolidate aborted.

    Posted by Edo Brizio on April 29, 2014 at 6:38 pm

    I’m on Avid 7.0.3 and in order to export an AAF I’m transcoding to DNXHX and I get this error:
    avid error AMA failed changing the clips to the desired quality prior to consolidate. Consolidate aborted.
    Any recommendations?
    I isolated the AMA clips in a bin and tried everything possible …
    I did this in the past and it worked.
    thanks
    Edo

    Are you doing an embedded AAF or a “link to” AAF? I make AAF “link to” all the time with a mix of codecs and there is no need to consolidation or transcode. Just as a test, if you are doing “link to”, try checking the “AAF Protocol” to be active and try again.

    It’s a AMA issue, I need to transcode to DNX HD to export any AAFs.
    I fixed the 6 clips that were causing problems narrowing down the sequence AMA relinking those files, is now transcoding, hope wil get to the end)
    Thanks

    If you use AAF “Edit Protocol” with 6.5 and earlier there was no need to transcode to export an AAF. In v7 I don’t need to transcode to create full version of AAF as long as it’s a “link to” and not embedded. Not sure why you need to transcode.

    AMA linked files require to transcode prior to export an AAF …that’s the message I get from Avid even with the link to selected.

    Did you get a solution in the end? I’m having the same problem currently and can’t find a way around it.

    I’m thinking I may just have to consolidate the reference media as a whole to get it to work, or do a straight transcode.
