By the facility I am currently at, we are not allocated enough space for DNx45. It needs to be a resolution more along 20:1, and 30i is the only SD project setting at 29.97.

Yes it is a network pilot. We’re delivering 23.976 actually and then the network does their own conform to 59.94. We will be monitoring both 24/30 tc rates like you just noted just so we know we’re cut to time. I changed the source to 24fps, although for some reason it wasnt an option in the source monitor until i entered multicam mode.

Thank you for clarifying. The show im working on is my first 23.976 ntsc experience. We are working with long-gop media from canon c300. Is there any way to get both source and record tcs to match? Record monitor counts in long gop a,b,c frames but source does not, obviously throwing tcs off.

Ive had a bit of luck. It turns out the c300 spans clips into 2.05 gbs peices. Through the canon xf utility ive managed to merge them into one clip. Now as a lone .mxf i am having trouble getting it into avid. Through transcoding, it says “invalid directory.” dragging it into the mxf/1 folder doesnt work either. This is annoying

Hi Bouke,
Yes, I AMA in all the clips and transcode to 14:1. I am assuming that some of these clips are spanned- I’m not entirely sure how to tell but I know C300 has spanned clip issues in the past.
**My issue is that some of the single clips that I am transcoding are over 48 minutes long. These are the problem clips, for some reason they do not relink after transcoding.
I do not believe it has anything to do with switching to another card. This problem is consistent across the different camera rolls I have transcoded thus far.
Any help is appreciated! I have to start grouping this stuff soon. Is it possible to just sub clip the AMA clip and transcode it into two parts? Would this cause any trouble with relinking back to original sources for online?

Thanks Michael,
Online is whats tying me up a bit. I will be re-ama’ing the footage myself. For the 23.976 stuff, obviously itll be done in the main 23.976 project. But for the 29.97 footage, do I re-ama in a 59.94 project?
-
It will depend on your raid card, but yes I believe so. In my personal opinion, go for at least the 6 tb if you can, the 4 tb is a way worse buy than the 6 or 12 tb pegasus.

Try “commit multicam edits” before transcoding the sequence.
-
Tried your suggestion, no luck. This is really becoming a mystery for me.

Pat- In this workflow you just described you say you relink back to the R3D to grade, what do you output your final file as to avoid losing color data? And are you grading in Redcine X or MC6? I only ask because I am working on something very soon with the EPIC, and would like to use AMA- transcode to DNx 36 for offline, then relink to AMA then send to a colorist via EDL, and hopefully output a final graded/conformed R3D or DPX? Not too experienced with this workflow.
