Haven’t used Disk Label for linking myself, but its one of the choices you can use in the relink dialog. Sounds like it should work, but I’ve not done it myself. You can also cross match different metadata to relink in v6.5. It’s very powerful but a little confusing and not well documented.

Relink to the AMA clip. Leave your transcoded master clips alone. You many need to refer to the offline. Just link a copy of your sequence to the AMA clips/media.

You should make file name column visible in your bins. That column is not on by default, but you can change that. If you have to troubleshoot, its easy to tell what file the new clip was transcoded from. Yes…the transcoded master clip remembers the file it was transcoded from!

This is bullshit that keeps getting repeated on various forums. Its totally fine to edit with the “.new” files..in fact thats what you are supposed to do. Avid does not relink by clip name anyway, so you can rename them to whatever you want and it makes no difference. The only issue relinking is when you transcode AND change the frame rate. You will get a warning that you can’t relink. Does the original media match the frame rate of the transcoded files?

In 6.5, the relink dialog has changed and has many more options, which can be confusing. You want to relink selected items in open bins. Select the sequence, then select all the items in the bin(s). You can also change the default setting to link based on file name, which is sometimes helpful. Make the file names visible in your bin headings.

You do not need to open all 30 bins at ones, just do a few at a time until your entire sequence is relinked.

What is your frame rate?

My next suggestion was to consolidate or transcode the audio to a common format/bit depth.

Glad got it working.

Control Alt (pc) or Command Option (mac) turns your cursor to a hand. Then you can move the keyframes display beyond the maximum the slider can go.

My above post is for straight importing, not AMA.

Looks like Avid is applying a Motion Adapter automatically because your frame rate does not match your project frame rate. Blended Interpolated is the default for Motion Adapters. I don’t think you can change it.

You can make Avid import ignoring the QuickTime frame rate. It will do a frame for frame import with no interpolation but it will change duration.

Can you not create animations @ 24.976 if you intend to edit in that environment?

I’ve seen this sort of thing if Avid doesn’t like the name of the file you are exporting. Does your sequence have a bunch of odd characters or a slash in it? If so, change the name. Ditto for your destination folder.

Avid support is very good about activation issues…you should give them a call.

Everyone loves the cow, but this really should be your first move.

If that’s not working for you, you should contact

I would duplicate the sequence…Do a video mixdown af DNX 145, replace the video with the mixdown on the duplicate, then export a Same As Souce QuickTime.

Use that as your master file for Blue Ray encoding.
