The blank effect sounds very much like Frame Flex, a Motion Adapter, or color management, as it kicks in automatically on any footage that doesn’t conform to the project settings. MC 5 would not have any clue about what this is.
Without knowing the technical particulars of the project, I can’t say how this would affect onlining later. Might be meaningless, might be very important.
If there is any way possible, I’d look into getting the trial of MC 8.x and cutting with that. The trial is fully functional (30 days, I think, unless they have changed it).

It’s not a very full featured encoder, but you can use VLC to convert it to another format that you can work with.

Not sure if you can convert directly to Pro Res, but if you really need the shot, you can get it converted to something decent enough to use.

Lumetri Color effect. Then draw a feathered mask around the window, so you only affect that portion of the image. Use luminance curve or the basic color correction sliders. If the window is totally blown out and you haven’t shot in a high end raw format, there may be no details in the window to bring out…so the bright whites may simply turn to grey.

Thanks for this. Had no idea about this feature.

Also in Auditon, you can view the audio spectrum and use the eraser tool to remove it, or at least lessen it. Clicks are usually easy to spot.

You can make a mask with the Animatte Effect. Search for that in the Help Menu for details on how to use it. It’s pretty straightforward.
If I am understanding what you are trying to achieve, this may only work effectively if your shot is locked down and the camera is not moving. If you need anything more than very basic tracking, you are probably going to need to out of Avid to do this convincingly.

You probably already did this, but double check the routing assignments for each track.

Sure it can.
Just select those files and consolidate to the new drive.
If the drive is blank, it will set up an Avid MediaFiles folder. Your consolidated files will be in the “1” folder.
If this drive has Avid media on it already, simply rename the existing “1” folder to something else and Avid will create a new one with only your consolidated media in it.

Yes. Open the Media Tool and sort by project.

This has been a major issue for us at the facility I’m working at.
The workaround does not always work, and also requires the editor who originally edited the project to actually be around to open it under their user account and put the media offline….which isn’t always practical.
No, it wasn’t my idea to upgrade in the middle of a huge project. Grrr.
