AVID 6.0 V’s FCP 7 V’s PR CS6 with canon 5d workflow…
-
No the only thing online within the project is the seq which i relinked to selected with the h264 clips..
everything else that i originally transcoded and edited is offline including the audio( which is the most import thing..All of the files are still within the original MXF folder, but I cant get the project to see them and reboot..to the dnxhd 36 seq…
The main reason i need this is for the audio export for the sound mix… and also I just want to know how to do it…
I am going to duplicate the seq and give it a go, but with out the transcoded dnxhd36 files online in the bins Im not going t o hold my breath..
Thanks again for your help… I genuinely feel like you are the only other person in the world who understands my pain… lolAidan

Right I have gone through all the files in the AVID MEDIA FOLDER on the other drive with the transcoded clips and all the audio from the project and there is isn’t a avid media database file inside the folder…SO I am assuming that is why the avid cant see the files… but I dont know how I can get the avid to locate the folder and recreate the database files???

make sure that the path is:
root drive: Avid MediaFiles: MXF: numbered folders
Anything else, or name will be seen by Media Composer.

Yeah all godod LACIE DRIVE:Avid MediaFiles: MXF: 1 folder (withall the files in it and no avid database files…. and another folder with 2 folder with nothing in it…
If I create a new folder and call it 3 folder and plae all the mxf files inside it will aid rescan it and recreate a database file and let the project relink???

YAY!!!
Its the little things in life Michael…
Its all back online again, so now inside my project I have the original h264 ama links, the final picture lock dnxhd175 seq and the offline rez dnxhd36 seq’s
I had to fool the avid again by copying the folder into a new avid media files folder and then I restarted, Avid rescanned this and everything was back online..It is easy when you know how..but to be honest the whole workflow SHOULD be simpler…inside the new FCP10 when it is importing the clips you can tell it to do a low rez proxy and a full rez import at the same time, and you just switch between them inside the seq setting and everything goes instantly from offline to online…plus it actually does the import process’s in the background and allows you to edit in the meantime…I’m absolutely not sold on it yet (FCP10) but it is definitely pointing the way to the future…
Regardless…thank you so much for your time and expertise, you are a gentleman and a scholar..

Glad it worked out for you – and yes, it’s a little quirky and could be better managed, but v7 is promising better AMA management, so we shall see.
