You will have to separate out the mixed frame rates and batch import accordingly.

Put all the master clips you need to batch import into one bin. Make the FPS column visible. Select only the clips that match your project frame rate, then Batch Import those. Create a project in the other frame rate(s). Open the bin in the other project and batch import.

Linking and importing are two different things and would have different resolutions to this issue. Please clarify how you originally brought them in.

No. Far from it. There are literally dozens of options. When you export media, you should get the option to send to Media Encoder where there are more presets than you’d want to count.

[John Pale]

Since you apparently have Adobe Creative Suite…then use Adobe Media Encoder to transcode to DNX HD MXF OP1a. Then, back in Avid, manually select the MXF AMA plugin and CONSOLIDATE (not transcode).

Avid can be finicky about the file when linking. Sometimes its just a bad frame at the end of the file. If it works with Adobe, just use that and move on. You can pull all your hair out trying to debug it, otherwise.

Sounds like you might have the faders set in Touch mode?

Off Ignores the track’s stored settings during playback. Off allows real-time use of Audio Mixer controls without interference from stored automation settings.

Read-Reads the track’s automation settings and uses them to control the track during playback. If a track has no settings, adjusting a track option (such as volume) affects the entire track uniformly. If you adjust an option for a track that’s set to Read automation, the option assumes its former value (before the current automated changes were recorded) when you stop adjusting it. The rate of return is determined by the Automatch Time preference.

Write-Records adjustments you make to any automatable track settings that are not set to Safe During Write, and creates corresponding track keyframes in the Timeline panel. Write mode writes automation as soon as playback starts without waiting for a setting to change. You can modify this behavior by choosing the Switch To Touch After Write command from the Audio Mixer menu. After playback stops or a playback loop cycle completes, the Switch To Touch After Write command switches all Write mode tracks to Touch mode.

Latch-Identical to Write, except that automation does not start until you begin adjusting a property. The initial property settings are from the previous adjustment.

Touch-Identical to Write, except that automation does not start until you begin adjusting a property. When you stop adjusting a property, its option settings return to their previous state before the current automated changes were recorded. The rate of return is determined by the Automatch Time audio preference.

Avid is usually more agreeable about compatibility than other NLEs. Even if the project gives you issues (unlikely), you can make a new project and drag/copy all the bins into it at the desktop level and you should be fine.

[John Pale]

Try resizing the effect Pallete and see if it redraws properly.

[John Pale]

Try opening the bin the group clip resides in. Sometimes Avid will regain its marbles if you do that.

Make sure the groups used in a sequence are still multicam groups and not collapsed to a single clip due to this problem occurring.

[John Pale]

Try new a different User Setting or create a new setting.

Make sure Render On The Fly is enabled. In the current version of Avid its in the Composer menu.
