Hi, I did drew to that conclusion the all those factors could have caused it but thought if there was any solution.
So, I ended up transcoding to DNxHD 175 half premium debayer.

Now I have all these MXF files which I dropped to AMF (mxv/1) folder
I can’t relink my current clips to the new transcoded files.
I relocated the files and so it offline but can’t relink(batch import and relink) to the new files.
Unlike FCP where you can manually reconnect all of them.

Why is AVID so cumbersome?
Please help!
THanks

Thanks for your elaborate explanation.

Its 5K actually. The footage has some takes with skipped/dropped frames. I wonder if that has anything to do.

I tested with the display settings and am working on best performance Yellow/Yellow.
It runs fine on draft (yellow/green). I also temporarily set the format to 720p to ease things up but that did not make any difference.

Its the simple tasks, like adding a cut, adding a keyframe, selecting/deselecting record monitor, dragging clips on timeline that just gets painfully slow (goes to spinning wheel for few seconds).

I noticed on my activity cpu usage bars that when it plays the footage it uses all cores, but when
I switch to simple editing tasks, it fills up only one bar at a time and keeps moving around (from bar to bar)

I wonder if the dropped frame has anything to do with it.

Its baffling the heck out of me.

Via AMA volume.

No, I’m not. Just external hard drives. I am editing as we speak and there is no way around it.
Tried dumping the pmr and and mdb files, clearing caches, rebooting app and computer.

Thanks..I would be happy to pay but another question lingers…if I should go with resolve or speed grade which I prob will have to create a new post.
Would be great if there are any seasoned colorist’s views here.
Thanks

Was wondering, if there are any good tutorials for Resolve available.
Its very hard to find one.

[Israel Tamang]

Great! I saw lot of positive reviews on resolve which on few cases were compared to symphony.
That had me pondering in between the two as well.
Wonder if it pays to learn symphony or just get set with resolve for the long haul.

Thanks for the Shane!

Hey Eric,
Yes! It gave the same results as cinema tools did.
I imported a batch. Added the setting and exported it.
Its a little more work getting the settings right than compared to cinema tools.
The only major issue I had was (with Lion) that I had to bring it into segments and not all 100 clips at a time.
When I brought it all, it would crash on me.
But it does the job.

Hope this helps.

Thank you both. I did find about writing those on the console during my research. But I ended up using compressor and batch export all the videos with 60 fps to 23.98 which I usually use. That will be my set for all batch conforming from here on for Avid as well.

[Israel Tamang]

Thanks Shane. Actually I need to batch conform, not do speed changes.
Basically just apply the frame rate conversion to all the clips without the effects option.
