I have to deliver a file for UK broadcast and I’m very concerned that this file won’t meet the metadata guidelines. This will be a hard parted program and I need to add metadata for the number of parts and their respective timecodes. The issue is there aren’t any options to enter this information and if there are, they are greyed out. I’ve heard… Read more

I’m having a strange problem that I don’t see a lot of support for online. When I export a 16 channel AS-11 DPP HD file I get 16 tracks of audio, but only A1 and A2 actually have sound. As there aren’t many options in the audio export settings, I’m wondering if there’s a way to fix this issue.
I’m running 10.0.4 on a 2019 imac.

In the research I’ve done I’ve seen ALE files (?) mentioned… Read more

Hi everyone!

I’m currently opening the master files in Adobe Bridge, adding metadata there, but when I bring the media into avid none of the metadata info (Reel, tape, anything added in bridge) is preserved. Is there… Read more
