Rebuilding media databases not working
So here’s the whole story:
I got an edited FCP 7 xml project via dropbox and all the appropriate files to link to the file. I opened in DaVinci successfully everything was there and linked. I color corrected and then wanted to edit and finish sound in Avid because I don’t have final cut. So I rendered out DNXHD to the appropriate Avid Mediafiles/MXF/11 (I created a new folder called 11), and exported an aaf. When opening Avid it does not want to build a database for my folder 11. Does this mean my files are corrupted? and if so what do i do about that ?

Yes and yes. The MXF/1 folder rebuilt the .mdb .pmr files but it will not build for folder 11.

Rename the current 1 folder 101 rename 11 to 1
Create a title to that drive. That should rebuild.Pat Horridge

Just did this and it still comes up with Disk File not Found an Error occurred validating the media MXF/1

you said you rendered out dnxhd. Was this in a quicktime wrapper or mxf?

is this an external drive?
I’m wondering if you have a permissions error. Avid needs to be able to write to the drive to rebuild the databaseDid the title you created and render to that drive at least show up in the folder structure?

maybe they’re op1a out of Resolve instead of opAtom?

The databases did rebuild on the other folders in the Avid MediaFiles/MXF folder on my external hard drive its just the folder with the color correction that isn’t building. When I double click on one of the color corrected mxf files it will open avid and then a window pops up saying invalid file name. If that means anything to anyone…

I researched op1a and op-atom but I don’t really understand what to do about my files if they are op1a.
Also when I linked the files in Davinci with the xml FCP file I had to create a new folder which I called MXF to put all the original mov’s in because the folder they were in before wasn’t showing up in davinci and i couldn’t link the mov files to the xml. The MXF folder with these movs is in Lacie 1TB/EssentialTremors(name of project)/Source/MXF, which is right next to the folder they were originally placed in. Would this be the cause of my problem? I tried changing the name of the MXF folder but then couldn’t figure out how to relink in DaVinci.
Should I start the process over? Load xml into davinci, export as an aaf before color correcting so I can open in Avid to transcode the files and then go back to DaVinci to color correct all over again?
