I can indeed grab those MXF files, move them into the Avid MediaFiles folder, and import everything RedCine exports into Avid MC6 without incident. However, I still have missing clips because RedCine is not exporting everything it should.
The first time I relink to new clips, I get complete success with shots that are only used once from an original clip. For clips that are re-used within the sequence, I get ONE of those uses back from RedCine, and re-uses are offline. I’m not sure if that’s a hard rule, but seems to generally be the case.
If I went back and re-exported one of the failed re-links from RedCine, one at a time, I could get it to re-link. So something is going strange with RedCine not correctly making multiple MXFs. It is fixable by hand, but what a pain!

I will give it a try! Thankfully I’m at work and this is work-related!

I’ve been playing with Michael’s workflow, and it really does work well. The only problem I’m running into is when my edited timeline uses a take several times. Say I shot a 2-minute clip of a band performance for a music video, and I use 3 different parts of it in my Avid sequence. I want to now online my edit using your method, but there’s a problem. In step 12, those 3 edits from one clip appear as 3 new clips: clip.new.01, clip.new.02, and clip.new.03. This is fine, and they make it into RedCine just fine. But on step 19, RedCine puts the first use of the clip in the AAF and MXF folders, and subsequent uses of that clip in folders outside the AAF and MXF folders with S000 and S001 added to the folder names.
Therefore, I can get the first use of the clip (clip.new.o1) back into my edit just fine. But…
How do I get these separate files, formerly part of one clip out of the camera, back into an online edit?
Thanks!
