Crashing on AMA link and transcode
I am linking via AMA to XDCAM EX media (which was transferred with file structure intact from the card to a media drive). I then link to the XDCAM media via AMA. All is fine. Our workflow calls for transcoding the material to DNXHD145. On short clips all goes fine. I have one clip which is 50+ minutes long and has crashed two entirely different system on transcode. Then the weird thing is that the transcoded file is in the bin, fully transcoded; but it has the yellow AMA coloring.
Any ideas? Is there a length of clip that is to long for doing it this way. Trying it now on some long clips from different cards to test.

Can you import the problem clip directly?

I am linking to it via AMA and then trying to transcode to DNXHD 145. Crashes every time.

Correct. But I am wondering if you can even import the clip directly? This one clip may have an issue itself. Since you have been able to make this process work for other clips, there may an issue with this clip.
Another thing to check is drive space since this is a long clip.

Ed, I have 2.5Tb of storage left. Its crashing on some other clips also. I thought it might be a spanned clip thing so I used Clip Browser to copy all files into one folder, exported out AAF-crashed, exported out MXF-crash. I’m going to try and make a QT (using DNX145) and then import.
