yes… sorry rich 🙂

Shane, i transcode my sequences too, then export AAF

i never tested the workflow i mentioned on a real project.

however… i just tested again on my laptop to be sure…
XDCAM acts a little strange, but both P2 and XDCAM AAF sequences exported AAFs as long as video was included

i’m on MAC MC 5.03

try this

AMA linked sequence
export AAF
both video and audio chose “consolidate media” and “embedded”

with XDCAM, it will give an error message regarding the long GOP video files and will offer options to
re-encode and continue (with a warning) … it will produce an AAF file

with P2 it just works

Hi Shane,

transcoding or consolidating a sequence is not like doing it with all the project’s footage …

furthermore, MC will allow AAF exports of AMA sequence in XDCAM if video is included too
though it does act strangely on export… and i’m not sure how well it works. i always transcode my final sequences.

it seems like XDCAM and P2 AMA files get a different treatment (they were there first)

very cool 🙂

speaking of bugs

some of my students found this bug… i tested it on several systems, and its definitely there

not sure how new it is

if you delete audio tracks, whether AMA linked media or avid mediafile, then hit undo, the tracks come back but they are empty, like slug, with no mute/solo option

anyone noticed this before MC5?

from my experience, XDCAM, even on slower machines works quite smoothly

i use for lectures and demos footage from a chroma key music video

i play a timeline realtime, with spectramatte and background in green dot and get very good playback

all this, while AMA linked from a thumb drive 🙂

get the same results with P2

always gets wows from my audiences or clients

i even use it as a is-your-machine-even-strong-enough-for-editing test

ok… not native yet, not as it is with fcp
but its only a beta.
and it can shorten r3d files.
which is my main interest with it currently 🙂

michael,

i didn’t suggest he can relink,

but replace

by creating the same file via redcine then placing it in the red shot folder instead of original… AMA should replace if tracks, name and duration are the same.

HOWEVER… i didn’t remember that the originals are .r3d and not .mxf or .mov
therefore my trick would probably not work

honestly, with the new MC, i hardly use REDCINE or REDRUSHES for transcoding
i think the best new companion becomes STORM 🙂
