Hey Michael!

I appreciate the response. However the files inside the MXF folder are named “1” “2” “3” “4”. There was no added text by the ISIS. I just know it was an ISIS because of the Drive column in the Avid bin.

Right now the folders on the drive are as follows:

Avid MediaFiles
Graphics
2015_Edit (Project file/bins)

I have deleted the databases, without success.

thanks for any help everybody!

Hey Ricky!

Thanks for the tip. I tried deleting the data base files, and made sure the folders are on the root. No luck yet.

Thanks for the response!

Thanks Shane,

I just needed a little encouragement!

Do I give them the project file too, or will one be created during the consolidate ?

thanks again for responding!

I also acknowledge that what I’m asking is painfully obvious.

I just wanna make sure that when I select a sequence, hit “Consolidate” and choose a different drive, that only the relevant media will be copied over for editing.

thanks!

Thank you Oliver,

I think that’s the issue. I was looking at the 1080 stuff at 100%, and it looks like those venetian blinds are there (very subtlety), and I’m guessing when the footage was resized in Avid, it made it worse.

I made a 29.97 1080p project, and ama linked the raw footage, and the blinds don’t look as bad.

Should I delete the 720p footage, open the edited sequence in the 1080p project, and ama link/transcode/relink the clips to improve the picture?

thanks again for your help!

Thanks Oliver,

So looking at the raw footage, it is H.264, 1080, 29.97
My guess is it was shot on a DSLR, because it is H.264, but maybe it was converted? The files are not labeled like the would be, if they came off a DSLR. But, again, they could have simply been renamed.

Looking at the RAW files at 100%, I’m not seeing a normal 3:2 cadence when I step frame by frame in Quicktime. When I play the transcoded video full screen (the 720p 59.94 in the project) it exacerbates the problem. Like when people move around in the frame, it looks like horizontal venetian blinds.

So, yea, I is a split field issue I suppose.

Thanks again for taking your time to help.

The project is 720p 59.94
The footage is 1080i 29.97

Should I delete the footage that was transcoded in the 720p project, and create a 1080i 29.97 project and open the edited sequence in there and retranscode ?

Thanks for your time

Alan
