Couldn’t have said it better. If whatever tool you use to edit works for you then who am I to criticize.

Yes there is and we do this on a daily basis. Send your sequence to motion in FCP 7. If your system opens up Motion 4 then close it and open your project in Motion 5. In Motion 5, hit cmd 4. Select the “Media” tab. Highlight one of your clips and note the pixel aspect ratio in the Media Inspector – its probably set to “Custom”. Change it to the correct aspect ratio – in our case with HD material it’s “Square”. You have to do this for every clip or graphic in the Media tab.
Hope this helps.

Go into your media file folders and move the files to another folder. Try starting your Avid. If Avid starts and the databases rebuild, then you do have file corruption somewhere. Add files back into the Media Folders (usually sort by file creation date – oldest first and 1 month at a time). After adding a month restart your Avid. When you get to the point that the Avid databases won’t rebuild, then you’ve found the range of files causing the problem and you can narrow down from there.

Download the MDV program. It will identify files by project to be copied or moved to outside the OMFI Mediafiles folder. You can find MDV here
I’ve run it on our PC Media Composers Avid Express and Avid FreeDV and it really works. It moves the media files to a project named folder where you can transfer them to another system.

Had the same problem with our PC Adrenaline (2.6.1) system and spent hours on the phone with Avid support. First, check drive permissions because that can really screw things up.
Then download MDV which is a tool similar to Media Mover https://fiool.nm.ru/progz/ and have it move all the media out of the OMFI folder. Delete any databases in the OMFI folder. Then move media back to the OMFI folder on a project by project basis.
Start the Avid program and it will rebuild it’s database.
When you move a project to OMFI and Avid fails to re-build, you know at least what project the file resides in and go from there.
Good luck hunting!
