Copy All Media has had issues – at some point it consolidated with 0 frame handles. I always avoid it. What I prefer to do is manually copy ALL audio mediafiles onto a drive for sound post, then do a ‘Linked To Media’ AAF export. This also ensures that any updates can easily be sent over to sound post.

I think that is a bug.

Park on the clip. Does it have a green dot on it in the Timeline?
Hit Tools->Motion Effects Editor. To the top right, you should find a Promote button. -
The audio filenames should be there as a source file name. Are they not? Is sound post insisting on using the sc/sl/tk names as set in the BWF metadata?
Did you use Perf Slip when AutoSycing? If you did not, you could just duplicate your sequence, place it into a new bin, add all originally imported master clips and force a relink.

What happens if you type “alldrives 1” into the Console (CMD-6)?

Beware though, that MC internally will want to work 16-235. So any Filler, fades-to-black, dips-to-black, or masks will all be 16, not 0.
IMHO, best way to work in MC is 16-235, and correcting during output.

I mean that it is generally considered best practice to start and finish within the same version. Having said that, I’ve taken the plunge a few times, and never got hurt. YMMV.

I would not necessarily recommend it, but it should work just fine. That media is 100% compatible. The bins will travel forward as well. Some functions would not travel backwards, but you would not expect to go backwards.

If you just want HD output and a stable version, you can either go to 5.5.3.7. This will let you use either the Matrox MXO2 Mini or the AJA Io Express to connect your monitor. These units are for monitoring only, 5.5 won’t let you capture.
But 6.5.3 was good on me too until I recently upped to v7.

You can use such third party I/O devices, but not on MC 4. You’d need to upgrade to at least v5.5. You can upgrade to v7 for just 399 USD.
