Avid roundtrip with handles issue
today I tried a roundtrip with handles from avid
I transcoded my sequence to 1:1 10b RGB mxf with 50 frame handles
exported an aaf linking to the transcoded media
conformed this in Resolve and graded
Rendered mxf source files with 50 frames handles
Then I overwrited old mxf with graded mxf in Avid media folders
It worked fine, I launched avid and my sequence was relinked to the graded mxf media and I could trim and extend them inside the handle area
The only issue was with clips starting from their source media first frame (mixdowns which I use a lot)
What avid did to those media (and caused all the trouble) was adding all the 50 handle frames to end of the clip (instead of adding 25 black handle frames to the start which would work perfect) causing a relink error
Any idea for a workaround to this? -

At this point wait for version 8.1 which is advertised to support a full AAF round trip of some description.

You mean “Old Ben”? Ben Kenobi?

What you describe is a limitation of a mixdown in Avid. The only thing I can think about would be to lift whatever you are planning on mixing down to a higher track, trimming towards heads the amount you want in handle mixing down, and cutting that back into your sequence.
Or figuring out how to avoid a mixdown. Just curious – what generally are you doing mixdowns of?

We use mixdowns mostly for timewarps or fluid stabilize or for some other tricky edits with masks etc. But anyway even without mixdowns, with today’s file based media you can never be sure that the clips in the timeline will have room for handles.
