Clips Won’t AMA Link
Hi,
I’m editing an old project on AMC 5.5. I’ve AMA Linked and transcoded most of the media. However, there are two clips that just won’t link. There is no error message and the bin reshuffles as if something has been linked even though nothing has. Basically, Avid just doesn’t respond to the request. The rest of the card links and transcodes without issue and the clips in question import without issue. They just won’t link.I don’t know what camera the clips were shot with originally, although, I am trying to find out. I can tell you that the files structure of the media is MEDIA > }CLP{ > A001004.MFX
All suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Do you have all of the most recent AMA plugins installed? Could these be spanned clips?

I do have the most recent plug-ins for AMC 5.5. I do think it’s a spanned clip in the sense that all clips on the card are not longer than 04:53:12. However, like I said before, all the other clips on the card link and transcode without problem. There are just a few that won’t link at all and no error message appears.

If it’s a spanned clip that started on Card 1 and carried over onto Card 2 it will appear as one whole clip in Avid even though it’s actually two separate clips (one on each card).
Does it look like you are missing footage?

silly question as there does seem to be files with .mfx BUT are they .mxf? Have you tried renaming the extension .mxf to see if that resolves anything? you can always rename back to .mfx.
There are several tools (at least for windows) that open and/or repair .mfx files.

Thanks for the responses. As far as clip spanning goes, the clips that won’t connect are from the middle of the card. They are spanned with other clips on the card but not spanned across two different cards.
Also, I had a typo before. The clips are .mxf not .mfx. My bad.
