    Insert Edit Export function:

    I have an exported MXF OP1a file, and I want to make small changes to the stereo audio track. Media composer has a function which allows an already exported MXF OP1a file to be updated as long as the original timeline is the same length as the exported file. It looks like you can’t change or add time to the exported file but limited to solely replacing small amounts of picture, audio, or both.

    However, I have not been able to do this. Has anyone been successful with this function and what ground rules lead to this working?

    Any thoughts much appreciated,

    M

    Hey Marcus,

    I am still new to the latest version of AVID (we are talking 15 years+ since I last worked on AVID).

    However, I know of standalone software that allows you to edit in wrappers such as MXF, but didn’t know that AVID did it.

    Found this short tutorial that may be of help to you:

    It is 4 years old, but have a list of formats that was supported back then.

    This is a useful YT video, and explained well – but we have discovered that it doesn’t work well with audio. I start with multiple audio tracks, that are mixed down to stereo mixdown tracks for LP playback. That is stable for our features. But fixing small sections and dropping them in, does not work. So no answers so far.
