Actually there is an issue exporting an embedded AAF greater than 2GB . Avid created a work around for their products. I don’t know if one is required for Automatic Duck.

I believe embedded has a 2GB file size limit, so it would be useless for most video projects anyway.

You have render on the fly turned off. This is why your titles don’t play.

Are these CS 2 applications?

You need a straight alpha and not a premultplied one. Ask your after effects person to re-render.

Corrupt font?

If that’s not it, try uninstalling and reinstalling. Perhaps your templates are corrupted in some way.

Link settings under Volume Mounting, turn off Automatically Link To Volumes.

Older versions refer to this as AMA instead of Link.

She has a fairly slow Mac Book Pro with only 8GB of RAM. Might be fine for a small project, but performance will not be good on a feature film. I’m using a MacPro 2013 and performance can be sluggish with ProRes 4444. I’m not even sure if that model MBP has a qualified GPU for Mercury Engine acceleration. Sounds like a textbook case for using proxies to me.

[John Pale]

Thats an option you can turn off in your settings.

Definitely proxy workflow, it’s the whole reason why it exists.
