  • Can anyone reproduce this Resolve/Premiere CS5.5 AAF bug?

    OK, so exporting a project from Premiere CS5.5 as AAF and importing the sequence from within this specific Premiere project through the AAF works.

    And… If I have several sequences in this specific project, they are all included in the same AAF export. Nice. And… when I import this AAF file to resolve in the conform-page with “load”, I get to choose from a drop-down menu what sequence I want to import. Nice.

    But… The very first sequence that is highlighted in the drop-down menu, the sequence that is visible in this drop-down menu before you click on the menu to expand the menu… It can never be loaded. I always get a weird error message when I try to do this. I can get back to you with the error message, I don´t have it right here and I am not at the office right now.

    I have really tested this, made several projects in Premiere with different mediafiles, and I always get this bug. The sequence that is visible in the Resolve drop-down menu when importing the AAF file, it can never be loaded.

    If it would have been the first sequence in a alphabetical order that was always the first visible option in the menu, or something similar to that, a easy workaround would obviously be to just create a dummy-sequence. But I can´t wrap my head around the logic regarding what sequence it visible in the drop-down menu… Sometimes it is sequence 1, sometimes it is sequence 2. So this workaround won t work.

    Can anyone replicate this bug?

    Just create a project in CS5.5 with two sequences and export AAF. Then try to import the AAF to Resolve, and try to load both sequences (well, one at a time, obviously). Can you do this?

    I have the same issue. “the selected CompositeMOB index is out of bound”
    I can duplicate that first listed sequence in Premiere and the copy will open fine, but the original, the first one listed in Resolve won’t open. I’m assuming it is the first one listed based on creation date or something? In mine, it is not alphabetically “first”

    Thanks, then I know it is not a issue with my computer… I uninstalled and re-installed everything trying to get rid of this bug. It is not the first alphabetically in my computer either. And it is not the first sequence created either. Sometimes it was the first, and sometimes it was the second sequence. Making a copy of the sequence might be a workable workaround. Good idea!

    Interestingly enough, i also created an aaf from a project i got off a tutorial group im in. It only had 1 sequence in it, and opened fine, so yes, it appears to have something to do with that drop down selector.

    Yes, either that or something with the way Premiere writes its AAF files. Anyone have some other software (other than Premiere) that can handle multiple sequences and export AAF files? That would be a interesting test.
