    It is possible to move the render and FX files from your computer hard drive to the external drive. You can do this by locating the files in your media creation folder on your computer hard drive and then copying and pasting them into the corresponding media creation folder on the external drive. However, make sure to check the file paths in your project to ensure that they are pointing to the correct location on the external drive before sending it to the online

    May 5, 2023 at 3:12 am in reply to: Can’t transcode consolidated sequence

    It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with your source material and the ability of Avid Media Composer to transcode or consolidate it to your desired format. Here are a few things you can try:<div>
    </div><div>Check your source media: Make sure that all of your source media is properly linked and online. If there are any offline or missing clips, this could cause issues when trying to transcode or consolidate the sequence.</div><div>
    </div><div>Check the sequence settings: Verify that the sequence settings match the settings you want for your final output. If the sequence has mixed frame rates and codecs, this can cause issues when trying to transcode or consolidate the sequence.</div><div>
    </div><div>Try transcoding smaller portions: Instead of trying to transcode the entire sequence at once, try transcoding smaller portions at a time. This will help you identify any specific clips or sections that may be causing issues.</div><div>
    </div><div>Try consolidating smaller portions: Similar to transcoding, try consolidating smaller portions of the sequence at a time. This can help identify any problematic clips or sections that may be causing issues.</div><div>
    </div><div>Use third-party transcoding software: If Avid Media Composer is unable to transcode your sequence, consider using third-party software such as Adobe Media Encoder or DaVinci Resolve. These programs may be able to handle the source media and transcode it to your desired format more successfully.</div><div>
    </div><div>Consult with a post-production professional: If you are still experiencing issues, consider consulting with a post-production professional who can assist with troubleshooting and finding a solution for your specific workflow</div>

  • One potential solution to this issue could be to check the Avid Media Composer settings for the Consolidate/Transcode window. Ensure that the “Show All Volumes” checkbox is selected in the Consolidate/Transcode settings.<div>
    </div><div>If this option is already selected, you may need to remount the SMB3 Isilon drive to ensure that it is properly recognized by Avid Media Composer. Additionally, you may want to check the network connection to ensure that there are no issues with the connection between the computer and the Isilon drive.</div><div>
    </div><div>Another potential solution is to try mounting the SMB3 Isilon drive using a different method, such as using the Connect to Server option in the Finder menu instead of using the mapped network drive</div>

    May 5, 2023 at 3:07 am in reply to: Avid Trim To Fill with Multiple Frame Rates

    Hello

    The trim-to-fill issue that occurs when promoting a clip is caused by differences in the number of frames per second between the source footage and the timeline. To fix this, you can change the frame rate of the timeline or use time remapping or speed adjustments to match the timing. Alternatively, you can use third-party software that handles frame rate conversions better. The best approach will depend on your workflow and project requirements. It’s best to experiment with different methods to find the most suitable one.

    May 5, 2023 at 3:04 am in reply to: AMD 6950 AND MC

    The AMD RX 6950 XT is not a certified graphics card for Avid Media Composer. However, some users have reported successful use of this graphics card with Media Composer. It is important to note that Avid recommends the use of certified graphics cards for optimal performance and compatibility. Users should be aware that using a non-certified graphics card may result in stability issues or limited functionality

  • Yes, you are correct that you need to modify the AMA linked clips before linking the proxies. This is necessary because Avid needs to know which clips the proxies correspond to. Unfortunately, there is no way to link the proxies without modifying the clips first

    May 5, 2023 at 3:00 am in reply to: Media Creation settings for 4k project

    Hello

    To create proxies for your 4K footage in Avid Media Composer, you can follow these steps:

    Set your project format to UHD 23.976P as per the cinematographer’s shooting specs.

    Import your 4K footage into Avid Media Composer.

    Right-click on the imported clips in the bin and select “Link” > “Transcode”.

    In the Transcode window, select the resolution you want for your proxies. For example, DNxHR LB 1080p/23.976 is a good choice for 1080p proxies.

    Under “Media Creation”, make sure the “Video” and “Audio” settings match your project format.

    Click “Transcode” to create the proxies.

    Once you’ve finished editing with the proxies, you can export your final product in 4K by selecting “Custom” in the export settings and setting the resolution to 3840×2160. Make sure to also select a high-quality codec like DNxHR HQX or ProRes 4444 to preserve the quality of your footage.

    As for media type, you can leave that as “MXF” or select the format you prefer. MXF is a good choice for Avid Media Composer projects

    May 5, 2023 at 2:59 am in reply to: Mac Studio Base Model Compatible w MC?

    Hello Trevor

    The Mac Studio base model with an M1 Max chip, 32 GB of unified memory, a 10-core CPU, and a 24-core GPU should be capable of running Avid smoothly for normal scripted offline editing. However, it’s always recommended to check Avid’s minimum system requirements and compare them with the specifications of the Mac Studio before making a purchase.

    Regarding the future, it’s difficult to predict how well this Mac will age with future Avid software as it depends on the software’s system requirements and the Mac’s ability to handle them. But given the current specifications, it should be able to handle future Avid software for a while.
