  • Exporting OMF File with AMA footage

    Posted by Alan Thompson on August 17, 2010 at 8:44 pm

    A project I’ve been working on has used various shooting sources- EX-1, DVX, Vericam, etc.- Now, while trying to export the audio footage into an OMF or AAF, an error message keeps appearing saying that it cannot be completed because of AMA footage. When I try to transcode the audio footage, and even the footage with the video, the process goes about 1/4 of the way and freezes and will not continue. I was wondering what the solution may be for this? I am running Avid MC 4.0.5 on a PC and all of the footage is located on one harddrive. It seems like a neverending loophole and I’m just trying to dig myself out of it. Any suggestions would be grateful, thanks in advance!

    How about transcoding to a separate drive?

    Or trancoding in sections. If it keeps happening at the same spot, you might have a corrupt clip or media.

    I was able to consolidate all of the footage and attempted to transcode to a separate drive as an MXF or AFA, but I keep getting this message: “Set AAF Properties() Invalid Media Type for MXF.”

    I can’t seem to get it out of AMA and don’t know why.
