OK, been testing all morning with your suggestions.
Importing the AAF from Resolve into Avid results in weirdness and error messages
every time. If I open the media tool and drag the clips into a bin it works.
When I use “Assist using clip names” in resolve, I get reel names that match the clip names
and those carry across into avid, but the return AAF into resolve doesn’t link to the original footage when prompted.
When I use “assist using reels names embedded in source clip” I don’t get any reel names in either Resolve or Avid, but the round trip seems to work well. So I guess I will go this route. In Avid, if I drag from the media tool instead of dragging the MDB file, the reel column stays blank instead of being filled with mob reel names.
BTW, I am using Symphony 6.04.
Has anybody tried any of this with version 8 of Avid?
