AVID Media Composer to Resolve.. secret sauce?
Hi all,
I’m having difficulty once again to load a Avid MC timeline to Resolve. This is a red show. I got the bin from the editor, and I made an AAF.I’ve tried an aaf import, but that makes me see slates in the show, as if it’s reaching the wrong timecode.
I’ve tried an EDL, but can’t get it anywhere close to the correct sequence.
I’ve tried automatic duck to FCP. I’ve tried an edl into FCP, but I can’t figure the right combination yet.
Can anyone help, Please I need to roll on this tomorrow.

First thing, is it based on subclips ?
If so, go back ans ask them to stop that.
You also might wait a while for 8.1 to land officially because it dramatically increases AAF support.A slice of color…

To remove subclips:
0. Place your sequence in an Avid bin on it’s own.
1. Show Reference Clips – Unchecking Subclips.
2. CMD/CTRL+A to select all clips in bin.
3. Right-click on sequence (with all clips still selected).
4. Relink to “selected items in bin” (include offline if needed).You’re done! That should help everyone out!

We use the EDL option here. Make sure you select the 16 character option in EDL Manager.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the feedback. I tired the “remove subclip” routine, but I’m still missing something really obvious.
in a 20 minute timeline, Resolves’s import turns up 4 hours, as if it just plays the entire clip, not an edit.

Use the AAF Edit Protocol in the AAF options pane and see if that solves the problem fro you.

Regarding the timecode shift, the only solution I found so far is to use “offset source timecode” in resolve. You can do that from the media pool by right clicking on the clip. You can also do multiple clips at the same time. Offsetting works by number of frames. This would also solve the “timecode extents” not matching, if you had that problem (due to resolve looking for inexistant frames, outside of the clip, because of the timecode shift–it happens on clips where the beginning or the end frames from the master clip were used).
According to the Resolve’s documentation, timecode mismatch just happens. There must be a way to prevent having to offset by hand.
