AMA Plugin Error Message Causing Avid MC 8.1.0 to constantly crash

[Hadas Kastenbaum-reznik]

Hi

Have you got an answer to your problem

i have the same on avid 8.2

[Robert Ober]

Y’all the same folks that posted about issues with Canon files over on the Avid website?

If so, read my reply over there. Basically I suggest starting in Resolve.

Good Luck,
Robert

Yes.

I have already tried this one.

Didn’t worked.

Hi Hadas,

I did receive some assistance on the Avid forum, such as:

when AMA linking your footage, bring the footage in as folders, not individual MXF files

after you have your AMA link footage in, transcode it all to DNxHD 185. this way your footage is already all transcoded and you can edit, color correct then export without any problems

I ended up moving the entire project to a Promise Pegasus hard drive form the Lacie Rugged hard drive, then transcoded the sequence I was working on in a separate bin, after duplicating the sequence, and working with that version. This basically worked. I have started to think that the Lacie cannot handle full HD footage so well and will use that drive just as an archival backup drive

The next project I do I will do AMA link to the folders rather than to individual files and see if this does away with the issue.

I had a very curious thing happen which was that footage shot on different days, which was stored in separate bins, started appearing in other bins, replacing the footage that was there. I am hoping that linking to folders will prevent this.

Robert, I looked for your post dealing with Resolve on the Avid Forum and couldn’t find it.
