Sigh…yeah. I figured that out when I tried to install.

any chance you might be able to share your version of 10.10 in a dropbox folder?
(That is, if that’s kosher).

I might have found the link?

Thanks, Shane!

Okay…just read another post saying El Capitan is not authorized for MC 8.4.

So, with that said, which version of OSX should I upgrade to?

[Daniel Schultz]

Thanks, John. Just Cloned my internal HD. Backing everything up and getting ready to test booting up from the external. Fingers crossed.

[Daniel Schultz]

Oh, and one more question. Do you know if I can do this in Resolve V9.1 lite?\

Thanks again!!

[Daniel Schultz]

Thanks for your reply, Tero.

So to answer your questions.

1. No, I don’t plan to use these as proxies. Because this will be a web-only delivery in the end, working with ProRes that are in the ballpark, grading-wise should be totally fine. Also, the client is needing to review these files too, so being able to hand them a complete set of ProRes files would be advantageous to both them and me.

2. As a novice to Resolve, can you give me a quick how-to on setting the redlog gamma setting?
And also how to drop the deBayer to 1/2? And what kind of proRes file will I end up with (proRes HQ, 422, etc?).

Thanks again!

Thanks to both of you for your advice—seems like a great idea.

An advice on how to install the earlier OS onto the external drive?
And then how do you boot off of it?

Thanks again,
Dan

Hi Ryan,

Actually, in my case, I didn’t go over the 2,000 limit. And AVID didn’t automatically create a new MXF folder—I kind of did it manualy by naming the first folder so that AVID would create the 2nd folder (2). It’s just my way of knowing which MXF files are new and which were older for backup purposes.

Regardless, I did try your suggestion of taking more out of one folder and putting them in the the other folder so they were roughly equal (about 125 files per folder, well under the maximum). Deleted the database files, and let avid rebuild, but same problem. All the most recent MXF links are still offline.

I actually did upgrade my avid to 8.4, and at least I’m not getting the annoying constnatly trying to relink box that comes up.

So, I might just have to go and create new MXF files for all the most recent MXF files, since everything else seems to be not working??

[Daniel Schultz]

Oh, I also ran the disk utility on both the internal and external media drive and verified permissions. Both we “okay” according to the utility.

[Daniel Schultz]

okay, odd. I just got the same error message. In my case it’s a project I’ve been working on for a while.
But I consolidated my MXF files that were in a couple folders into one folder titled “1”. Then I deleted the database files in the mxf folder so Avid would re-scan. Like I’ve done dozens of times before. And then I get the same error message as Alan, and a bunch of my files are offline while Avid seems to be endlessly scanning and trying to re-link (about 2 hours and I finally gave up).

Any ideas??
(Sorry, Alan, didn’t mean to hijak your thread—seemed like a similar problem.
