Problems re-linking Proxy timeline with original BRaw Files
Hi,
I have some very annoying issue:
Editing currently a documentary, shot with GH5 & the BMPCC4K.
For the editing on the AVID system we created Proxy files of both cameras’ rushes.In our usual workflow, we re-link in the OnLine (DaVinci) the timeline back to original camera source files.
With the GH5 material it works like a breeze as usual.
But when pointing DaVinci to the Folder of the BlackMagic BRAW files, it keeps saying, that it does not find any matching footage.How come?
Any idea, to where the error could lay, is highly appreciated!
Thanx.
Best,

Well the first thing would be to check: do the proxies actually match the originals in timecode/reel and/or other metadata?

Hi Tero,
Of course, first thing I did.
All Meta Data just fine.
First time ever, since I make proxies with
DaVinci that I encounter such an issue.
If I select one clip, I can force it to relink with the “replace footage” command.
But doing that one by one for more than 500 clips is ridiculous.Best,
Sascha.

Import the original footage and conform from the media pool.

Double check that frame rates weren’t converted in one of the programs.
Never used Braw, but that is a common problem as well when going amongst programs with other clips.

Yes, the material is of course in the media browser. Yet, it’s not possible to re-link, mainly cause DaVinci claims to not find any matching material in the pointed folder, even though it contains the right rushes.
Best,
Sascha

Hi Glenn,
At the moment everything is still in the same application, DaVinci.
Since it’s also my first time I wanted to test drive the workflow, before the offline comes back from AVID.
So, all proxies were created in DaVinci, it kept all MetaData intact, including time codes and frame rates.
That’s exactly why it’s so weird,
Also my first time to work with BRaw, and that’s why I feel a little lost, since I never had an issue like this in DaVinci ever before.Best,
Sascha.

Do you see a reel name in the reel name column? Relinking is very simple, it just needs to match reel name and time code. That only works if you’ve enabled the “assist using reel names from” option. If you don’t see entries in the reel name column on the media page, and if those entries don’t match those of your proxy files, it will not relink. If they do, it will (assuming the time codes also match).

As I wrote before: all matches: TCs, Reel names, FPS, everything.
I also tried all variations in the assist preferences.
No luck.Sascha.

I know I’m sounding a bit pedantic here, but if everything matched it would relink, so something doesn’t. You need to determine what that is.

As I said: that is exactly, why it’s weird and I assume it’s a big:
Everything is matching 1 on 1.
Compared all meta data. In the same batch process i did the H.264 10 bit
GH5 proxies … and they all work perfectly.
Only the BRAW is in strike.Sascha.
