Can you postan image of what you are seeing?

Jagged can mean interlaced…Or low res proxy…be nice to see an example

What version of Avid? I’ve had this happen on the 2019 flavour. Sometimes it takes a few file exports to get it to come up. I think the problem sometimes us that the window is not coming to the front, and is buried behind a bin.

I usually just click somewhere else, the click on my sequence again…and try again

the raid will multply your throughput. I’m not an engineer, but the more drives involved, the better the throughput. I get true 10g read speads with my Qnap which has 8 drives in it.

As Bob Zelin will tell you over at the storage forum….the tech specs might say good enough, but the real world specs will tell you different…not sure you can ever have enough throughput, especially with 4k and everthing else that people through at their footage. Different codecs and different situations will cause different bottlenecks on the system. Get a good storage setup, and use it for storage and storage alone.

My cache files go to an ssd stripe set in the qnap, and my main storage goes to one of the 3 qnaps at my disposal, all connected via 10g. (1 main unit, and 2 daisy chain expanders)

Blackmagic disk speed test is either installed with Desktop video or Resolve…not sure which one.
It shows up in Program Files/Blackmagic Design/Disk Speed test on my box, as well it has a shortcut automatically installed under Blackmagic on the start menu.

I’m a firm believer in a nice fast raid system for this type of work. Put you drives together and get some proper throughput on a 10g line.

BMD disk speed tester is very much available for windows. been using it on my windows systems for years.

The mxfs will not affect your relinking ability.

The information Avid is looking for is there, whether the actual media is online or not.

I’m assuming the transcoded were done in Avid, so am assuming they contain correct meta data.

bring your ama links into a bin and select them all.
right click on your sequence and select relink.
select relink to selected items in open bin.

might hve to tweak some of the link settings based on your source transcodes.
(I usually change name to “Tape Name or Source File Name”)

Sorry, this should say bring your links into a bin…not transcodes

Double check that frame rates weren’t converted in one of the programs.

Never used Braw, but that is a common problem as well when going amongst programs with other clips.

Just need to clarify some of your terminology.
Are you wanting to relink to camera original source files, or recreate your MXF files. The fact that you no longer have access to the original imported media, should not stop you from ama linking to the source files, and linking your sequence to it.

If you want to recreate your mxfs, you should be able to select the offline clips and do a batch reimport command, pointing the import dialog to the current location if the source clips.

If you want to turn your old offline mxfs into higher res mxfs, you should be able to do that as well, either using the batch reimport and asking for a new resolution, or doing a sequence decompose, and then importing only the shots needed to rebuild the sequence.

Ok, just to clarify, the background isn’t really moving with the person. The background is totally static, what is happening is your key is cropping out the background. As you expand your key frame, you are expanding the amount of background that is visible. I think we all thought from your initial post, that if you panned the subjects left, the background was moving left as well.

Try putting a window/mask around the green subjects, to change the area Resolve is working on.
I’m guessing your two images are not the same size, and your green screen is the smaller of the two?

Part of the problem is probably that you are pulling a key in Resolve, which wouldn’t be my first choice. I would probably prefer to take it into fusion, which is more designed for comp work.

Well you can certainly save them as a preset, and then manually change the custom text each time you call up the preset…depends if you are trying to batch things, or have different text for each clip…on which case you would need to save a new preset for each instance if differing custom text.
