No Reel No – How to reconnect

[Joseph Owens]

[Frederic Lumiere] “All the clips show fine in the default.”

I don’t really understand this statement.

However, are your DNxHD clips Quicktime.mov or in MXF wrapper? QT DNxHD is not a Resolve-supported codec.

You mean “Old Ben”? Ben Kenobi?

Well the issue is that when importing an AAF in Resolve the clips are offline. I assumed it was because of lack of reel numbers but after unchecking ‘Assist using reel numbers from the:’ many clips now connect fine.

Just have a few stragglers with the error “can’t be linked because the timecode extents doesn’t match”

Any idea why that would be?

Also, is there a way to reconnect the few offline clips manually?

Yes, they are MXF DnxHD.

Thanks for your help!

Ahhh – also i’m discovering that some clips aren’t showing the correct edit – way off…

Could this be an issue with 24p vs. 23.98?

Resolve doesn’t offer 23.98 timebase does it?

[Frederic Lumiere]

I chose to consolidate the clips during the AAF creation process (it’s a short 2 min trailer) and all the clips in the media pool look perfect but they aren’t connected to the imported timeline with a couple exceptions.

Is this the issue you’re running into?

I unfortunately don’t know of a solution to that myself.

That’s exactly it. The majority of my clips don’t even connect but the time codes are wrong.

You could try to add a reel number inside avid by right clicling and use modify. I got thaf kind of problem when i have a motion effects in my timeline with keyframes on it. Kill it if you have.

After the modify you could create new master clips and mxf to send to resolve using the aaf export option…

Have you tried a edl?

Sorry if i sound robotic, im writting on a phone.

“

the “modify” can only set a source tape

how can one add reel names to clips in avid?

the main problem is that with a lot of tapeless workflows (5D/7D, AVCHD), there is no reel name and TC starts at 1:00:00:00 for EACH file.

it could work is reel name was file name. but copying the “clip name” column into the “reel #” fails, avid says “column is not modifiable”.

anybody has a solution?

thanks

Oh sorry! I read your post too fast…

You could try to export an ALE and modify the column by hand…?
