Thanks
I use Mus-ID all the time for bringing in our needle drop cues(which have the embedded metadata)
It has made organizing our library of well over 200,000 cues much better.
It is the originally composed cues we get that are not embedded… Boo 🙂
I’ll try the Tab D list though I have never gotten that to work right.
Also I just put a bunch of PA’s at producer station and am making them copy past everything 🙂

For what it’s worth I just did an upgrade to 8.4.5 and now get DNxHR codecs in 1080p.
I did a very quick comparison.
1080p transcoded to offline in DNXHR proxy codecs vs 14:1DNX HR LB at 1/4 is nearly exactly the same physical file size as 14:1 and looks nearly identical in quality.
Not ready to throw a 16 1 hour series at it with 20 editors but… still interesting.

Interesting comparison. Thanks. Couple questions
When DNxHR first came out it was not available in a 1080 project. Has that changed with 8.4? Or are you Consolidating/Transcoding from a UHD project?
Consider adding 14:1 to your comparison. On large series we are stuck in this resolution for offline because DNX36 is way to demanding on space and bandwidth still for a traditional offline/online scenerio.
The Idea of going to a DNxHR proxy format immediately struck me because at 14:1 single field in 23.98 there are still some NTSC 29.97 shenanigans going from offline to online conform.

First things I would check is…
1) Read/write access from the drive not working
2) Just checking you are not trying to access the same drive from 2 avid at one time (can’t do that)
3) Space… You need enough space on the drive you are going to and the drive you are coming from. avid will cache media on the drive you are coming from so if there is not enough head room it doesn’t work.
4) I just ran into the same sort of problem. On the system that would not go we had a bunch of HDD’s hooked up to it. When I disconnect everything but the necessary drives it all started working fine. No Idea why but worth noting. -
Just to update here.
This is up I have come up with so far.This footage is shoot on an Inspire DJI drone. This camera only shoots TrueP and not Psf.
Not sure why yet but When I transcode UDH DnxHR SQ 23.98p (any variety really) then play back in full raster downscaled in 1080p 23.98 project I get interlace errors.
If I go to video output tool and switch output from PsF to TrueP. Then the errors go away. Doesn’t really help me because I have to output PsF but it at least points to the issue somewhere in there.

Yeah it behaves like the but has something to do with the downconversion avid is doing from 4k size to 1080.
The simple solution we have been doing is just adding a very slight blur. But it does not appease the “why can’t I solve this problem” part of me.
In additional tests I can can eliminate the issue by slightly altering the flex frame on the clip but it means resizing someone I don’t want to resize.

For what it’s worth… “at work” its a 64 tb and it’s only season 3 not all seasons 🙂
G-raid Studio XL. Super fast. Thunder bolt 2 or USB3 only. Comes raid 5 but suggest a raid 6 set up if using and always… always use a battery back up and surge protector.
We got a power hit that fried 2 drives at once. Lost 27 tbs of Master field footage. Thank god it was LTO’ed

Not knowing specifically what your issue is there are 3 things I do when audio goes stupid.
1) Restart – if that doesn’t fix
2) turn off hardware (spoke like button on the top rightish of the timeline) then turn it back on. This almost always fixes the issue for me. – if that doesn’t work
3) If on Nitris DX I will unseat the PCI connection on both the Nitris and the cpu. Then plug them back in.This usual solves the random audio play issues I have.

Michael I have been eagerly awaiting you to write this for years…

you could try and throw it into a free program called VideoSpec. It will reveal frame rate and some other useful metadata
https://videospec.free.fr/english/
I use it when I get a wonky file to confirm it is what I think it is.
