From memory the Avid mxf conversions were the same filename with some spurreous text added to the end. I’n the EDL however these filenames are def. Truncated.

Thanks for the solid suggestions, will get straight onto them first thing in the morning (gone midnight here).

Good call Paul. Looks like it’s my decklink that’s causing my issues here too.

Will post this on the BlackMagic forum.

Matt,

I’m suspecting that it is not your Black Magic Card (although do download the latest drivers this can have an effect), but more likely the System Frequency Setting on the HD Deck itself.

I don’t have experience of that exact deck, but have experienced similar problems with other decks in the past. Check the menu settings on the deck and set the System Frequency to your desired setting (23.98).

I hope that this helps?

I’ve discovered a workaround to fix the issue, and as I’m one for hating reading a post without a satisfactory conclusion I thought that I’d post it here.

As I mentioned earlier – one single file was giving two offline clips registered in the reconnect media window(one with the correct name and file path and one with ” is missing). What I found was that by skipping the ‘correct’ file and reconnecting the second one manually (i.e. it will be perceived as a different file name) then the file reconnects.

I also found that if you search for the first (correct file) and then don’t connect before skipping and reconnecting to the ” (blank) file then you don’t have to go searching for it – as it jumps straight to the last finder window that was opened – which was the correct one.

Hope this helps someone in dire straights somewhere else down the line.

No, its the clip in the timeline, not just the thumbnail – i.e. it plays red Media Offline in the Canvas window. If it was just the thumbnail, I wouldn’t be that bothered really.

No takers?

Todd, I’ve opened an old project that I haven’t touched for two days and a number of clips have gone offline (probably less than 10%). I’m having exactly the same issue. I’ve checked the QTs, they seem fine, trashed preferences etc. but still the same deal. Looks like it’s reconnecting fine, but still showing Media Offline………

Very perplexing.

Cheers for staying with this one Ed…

Just to confirm – I tried all of the list above and still no go (it was as I was set up anyhow)… However, when in FC Audio?Video Preffs> A/V Device, set Mirror OFF – hey presto, we’re up and running…

COWED!!

Thank you Ed.

Ed,

We’re mega-stretched at the moment – with a lot of projects landing at once, so we’re compromised in kit across two suites currently… I’ve only got a PAL SD monitor until the edit goes into one of our other suites for ‘finishing’. Rather than using the PAL monitor on a crunchy down-convert – I’d rather monitor it at HD on one of the Apple 23s… No HD link in here either.
