I would do a search.
Plenty of people successfully round tripping.
Also, check the manual, particularly the “About AAF” section and the “Exporting ALE” section.
Like I said the round trip is being completed successfully by many, many people.

Don’t know specifically about multicam, but avid generally works better with DNxHD media, renders are certainly faster. That said, prores works well enough, to where depending on the amount of media and the length of edit session it’s not really worth the hassle of transcoding.
That said AMA is a dog, and shouldn’t be used for longer than necessary anyway. I’d recommend AMA linking your footage day 1, editing away, and if you take a long lunch break or have something else to do, set up a transcode to DNxHD, and then work from that.
Best of both worlds, instant access, and performance & stability.

1st question:
I like dell too.
2nd:
IMHO, you still need proper external monitoring even for the web. Thing is computer monitors are notoriously inconsistent. And without a proper working space or profile you can’t really judge the image. Using 709 colors pace, at least you have a reference point for what the image should be. As you compress and distribute online you have something to compare against. So when someone says “it doesn’t look right” you can confidently say its because of how they are viewing it. if you don’t have that baseline, then well who knows.
But this has all been covered before and in much more detail. Check the search function.
3rd:
I guess for low cost (I’m guessing this question should probably be in the LITE forum) you could use the intensity, along with a lower cost monitor that was properly calibrated to conform to 709. There are some resonably priced consumer sets that with good calibration can do near perfect 709. I’m speaking of the top tier Panasonic Viera monitors, you could look into these.
But like I said, if you aren’t grading on a calibrated external monitor, then the only screen you are grading for, is the one you are grading on.
Good luck.

Alternative workflow 1:
Edit in premiere, export an FCP7 XML, bring that into DaVinci… works just fine.
Alternative workflow 2:
Edit in Avid, export AAF, bring that into DaVinci… works just fine.
Alternative workflow 3:
Export a self contained file out of Vegas, in a container/codec that resolve supports. Export an edl. Use the conform to edl function to break up the self contained file in Resolve into clips that you can grade individually.
In term of performance and functionality, I think options 1 & 2 are preferable.

Too many reasons. Bad media / bad file copy. 1 out 400 ain’t bad.
Did you run repair timecode breaks in streamclip?

try using mpegstreamclip to extract as much as you can. Seems the files are corrupted.

Yeah, best practice is to just let avid manage your media. That’s what it does best. Glad that fixed it.

I will try this again and add the entire /mxf directory to the media pool
Let us know if that works this time. I suspect the media ended up in the “2” folder somehow.online editor | colorist | VFX | BD author

How does AVID handle image scaling?
Badly.Couldn’t resist. 😉
