Fascinating – well that’s too bad. Thanks for the info, Shane!

While I have you, do you have any tips for a crew that is used to working in a PC environment – now forced into using MACs during this remote work period? The reason I was wondering about best performance is because our sequences are getting a bit bogged down with all the extra elements we have to use without working off of a line cut – had an editor start beach balling on occasion – wondering if there is anything we can tweak in the OS or in AVID settings.

They are working on 2013 trash cans, 64gb ram, 12 core xeons, yadayada.

Thanks!

Great shout guys. I noticed that myself and was planning to just export OP1A if need be.

Thanks for confirming and giving the information about the wrapper.

Hey Thomas,

Yep you’re right on the money there. Get your frame flex tab open when raw 4k clips are selected, change the Frame aspect ratio to 16:9 (within the Frame Flex window). From there you will choose you 16:9 frame which cause a little pillar box crop. Apply to all. Transcode to desired HD res.

Your editor can still choose to punch in on the clips using frame flex, knowing he’ll have the resolution, and come time for finishing you can just ama relink those clips and re-transcode (ama only) to maintain your resolution. Food for thought!

Resolve wouldn’t accept them either, much to my chagrin. It’s typically my go-to for proxies. Maybe I could try upgrading. I have 12.1.0.015 currently, not sure what the latest is right now.

Haven’t tried Squeeze yet, but you’re probably right. EditShare from Divergent Media also works.

But what I’ve ended up doing is just changing the wrapper from .MOV to .mp4. and Media Encoder now accepts the file and is crunching away.

So Will, see the screenshot in the post. Just make sure your pixel aspect ratio is set to 2.00:1 and then in the FrameFlex window set the Frame Aspect Ratio to your intended size, in your case 2.19:1. Then just select the pillar/letterbox option for the reformat. Apply those settings to all your rushes while AMA’d and you’re good to go.

These are the FrameFlex settings that I’ve found to work for MC 7 with 2.39:1 footage.

We’re offlining in MC 7, so I’m conforming the resolution in a 1080 project for now.

Sorry I should change the post heading, we’re shooting 4444 now. So can I just show the REEL column and manually assign in AVID right?

Thanks, Michael.

Can I make the dailies in Media Composer and still satisfy this REEL specification?
