IMPORTED AAF IS DROP FRAME WHEN ORIGINAL PROJECT WAS NON DROP

[John Pale]

Is this a sequence? You could change it back very easily…or did all the source timecode change to DF?

[Stephen Brooks]

Yes it is a sequence. All the clips are DF as well. When I try to change the sequence to NDF (right clicking, modify) I get an error message saying I cannot do that. When I try to modify the clips Avid crashes. It just disappears. No error messages.

Thanks for your insights. I’m still not sure this isn’t a Premiere export problem. But I have no way to test that.

I just re-imported the AAF into a new Premiere project and it comes in as NDF. So it must be an Avid issue. Any other ideas?

Thanks.

just for laughs, check to make sure your preference for new sequence creation is set for DF. The default setting is NDF.

Turns out this is a bug. Avid has my aaf to test. At least I’m not crazy!

Thanks for all the suggestions.
