Avid AAF in FCP 7.02
We’ve been given this Avid AAF exported project to conform in FCP. We can import in onto the timeline via Automatic Duck.
The problem comes when we want to ingest the hi-res versions. FCP wants to ingest the complete asset rather than only the sections on the timeline.
This is a massive project taken from weeks of material.. and as usual, we don’t have the luxury of said weeks to get all this ingested (let alone the disk space!).
What’s the trick in FCP to force the ingest of clips that are only on the timeline – not the whole asset?
thanks in advance.

You have to consolidate or decompose on the Avid before creating th AAF or you will still reference the full master clips.
Must be fixed on the Avid side.

What he said. Just confirming that THAT is the proper workflow. Consolidate on the Avid side, with handles…to only what is used in the show. THEN export the AAF.

Thanks guys…
That confirms our fears. What if the original avid
project assets have been deleted? Do we have no other options?Xml or edl export/import from fcp? Apple suggested editing the xml timecodes…
Which would be an option if we had all decade.Thanks again

I take it you recapturing the media? If you have the edit sequence in FCP, try using Media Manager to create an offline project, deleting unused media with handles. I don’t know how it would work with a project that is already offline, but if the clips have proper timecode and reel numbers it might create a timeline with just the final media as cut (plus grab handles).
It would be pretty quick to test

You can do this on any Avid, with or without the media if you have the bin/sequence .
