i have a bin with transcoded media.. and not all media is in this bin.. when i try to match frame and find the file in bin i get error saying the original file has moved.. i have no idea where the original file is and i cant match back because it says the file moved.. and then when I try to search for it i cant find it.. but i do see it on the timeline…

this is stupid.. MC doesn’t handle sequences larger than 25 minutes?? isn’t MC used for editing features? i mean what if we got something close to final version and we want to tweak it, few frames here and there…. wtf.. final cut 7 from last century can handle an entire 90 minute movie no problem…

its connected to 64TB Pegasus Thunderbolt drive..

absolutely.. we were 2 editors working on mirrored drives.. i can export out of one to external drive.. but not from the other… whyyy

[Ludmil Kazakov]

ok.. thanks.. i got 2 avid systems.. when i connect external drive to the 2nd edit bay it sees it when i want to transcode.. and when i do it to the main edit it doesn’t.. any ideas?

i want to transcode it to external drive..

and to add one more thing.. since i am on the subject of bitching about avid.. my friend outputted music file for our promo.. once in avid this file has a metallic sound to it.. i would have to export picture only and add the new sound mix in premiere to get the sound right! WTF!!!

i know.. most footage in avid project is pro res… anyhow.. i did convert the entire 90 minute movie to ProRes MXF and that still takes 3-4 seconds in between actions.. lets say i want to go to trip mode, i get it activated and before i go left or right a frame or two i have to wait.. its beyond ridiculous.. and the computers we use is maxed out mac pro tower.. with 64TB Pegasus Thunderbolt.. still the timeline does not work as smooth as FCP would when everything is converted to ProRes.. either way.. i am happy with avid but the experience is not smoothly. and when i export the red footage is much darker…

so the question is.. once i covert the entire move.. and i want to add footage… whats the best way to handle it? work off converted footage and mix it in with the new AMA footage??

[Ludmil Kazakov]

its minor changes here and there.. title work here.. change shot there.. come on avid.. final cut 7 can handle that… no need to break timeline

yes i see all the original files but in video it says DNxHD 175 X (HD1080p)
I am following your instructions so i select all the online AMA files along with the offline sequence? then right click relink?

Media drive – I select the drive where its all..
and then what should i select for this?
Load media database(s) –
relink selected master clips –
relink only to media from the current project –

Relink by
Original
Timecode is set at start
Source Name Set at tae name or source file id
Ignore extension? should it be checked
Match case when comparing source names? should it be checked?

and video parameters I have any video format..
