Thanks Bouke. Yes indeed: each programme has its own workspace on Isis with one Avid MediaFiles folder, which is nice, but that workspace gets cluttered with many folders with confusing names by many users. I’d like anyone downstream from me to find that all the essential media is in the Avid MediaFiles folder. Step in there for a well-ordered universe and folders laced with lavender oil.

Hi Mike
I’m not so familiar with MC6 or the Omneon, so all I can advise is to persevere or try to find some other software that might allow you to load, mark and export a sub clip to as an independent, functional file.
all the best

Give it a go as per my previous message.
But I would deselect ‘delete original’ and ‘skip media’.
good luck

Well, I got it working somehow. It imported following a succession of attempts. Unfortunately I can’t remember precisely the steps, but the important thing was that there were specific frames that had been causing the problem, and depending on where I placed the position indicator in the Source monitor, it would either play or produce an error message. Once at that precarious stage, I marked and In and an Out early in the clip, and then nudged the Out along until I found the trouble spot. I then brought the Out back from the trouble spot, and exported the marked portion with native settings to produce a fully reliable replacement file.
I hope that helps.

Many thanks for the quick reply. No, no RAID card. Is a RAID card really necessary for RAID 0? My thinking is that the internal linking inside the Icy Dock can’t be any more or less complicated than what’s inside a Mac Pro: just SATA connections, and that eSATA just continues that connectivity right into a MacBook Pro.
But as you suggest; who amongst us likes to assume?
Ultimately, I’d like to have my 3 x 750GB internal RAID 0 mirrored by a 4 x 2TB external RAID 0. I think this document says it’s possible:

Just to say that these fine guys had this instant RED workflow running on a 4GB Mac Book Pro rather well for me without the Mobile Rocket:

Gustavo, Michael and Richard
Thanks for the replies. All points good to know. I shall hope that we can get hold of the Mobile Rocket. In the meantime, I’ve done some tests with my 4GB 8-core Mac Pro with RED footage on an external 7200rpm drive.
It played the rendered sequence perfectly over USB, FireWire 400, FireWire 800 and eSATA. Un-rendered, the sequence dropped frames (on tracking shots with detailed backgrounds only) over all four connections. But I would say that such stickiness of playback is an acceptable compromise for the benefit of the quick turnaround. And if we can render, so much the better.
Given your comments, I shall be repeating this test with a Mac Book Pro soon; but with a quarter of the processing power, I’m not entirely optimistic.
many thanks again
