OK,
so first thing to look at I think is whether Da Vinci takes another EDL type other than CMX3600. Which is I’m guessing what you are using.
– using File16 EDL type gives you ability to have the whole clip name in the EDL. I know this works going back to Red Cine X. Which, by the way, might be a nice idea in order to export trimmed R3Ds instead of having to give all media to graders. (Note: if you do this, don’t include audio in your EDL to RedCineX – it doesn’t like it, for some reason)
– If for some reason you are locked into using CMX3600, like I am at the moment (with Apple Color), there are ways around this by including the clip name in the comments in EDL manager settings. This requires you to change the name of the clips used in your seq. Best way I think to do this would be to take the seq and put in a new bin. Decompose. Get rid of audio. Duplicate whatever field has the complete reel name in and select “name” in the dialog box that pops up. Then export an EDL of the decomposed seq with the clip name in the comments.
If you get this working let me know, it’ll be good to know for sure that Avid –> DaVinci with Red works.

When applying the effect to the V2 it shouldn’t apply that effect to V1. Is this what you mean. You can add multiple effects to a single clip on the timeline – by holding alt as you drag an effect on.
But if i’m understanding your question correctly you can just go to effect mode and select the clip on V2 and animate the position as you wish without effecting clip on V1.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking of. Can you tell which I’ve been using recently!

It’s a different type in the export menu. In the drop down list where it’s says send to quicktime or something, there should be a quicktime reference movie option.

That’ll just turn on and off sound scrubbing.

did you take the original drives offline? If not, maybe a place to start.

Had this the other day. Wasn’t sure what caused it but restarting AVID didn’t solve it. Restarting the computer did.

Hi Mohan,
I think this is to do with the type of EDL you are using for this media. I know that in AVID when you are exporting an EDL for the RED for example you use the file 16 format allowing the whole clip name to be in the source.
This may not be the case in FCP but perhaps a good starting place.
Thanks,
Michael

Arnie’s sounds like a good idea. My preference has always been to export XML files of sequences and pass them around, but obviously relies on people having the same media.
Could you try exporting an XML of the cut and doing a find and replace on all _1 (or whatever the added extension is)?
There’s no harm trying, might save you some time. Worried there may be more instances of _1 that you won’t want to change. At least you can make it walk through and you can replace with a key press.
Let me know how it goes.

If you’re using the Elementary Stream setting in Compressor I don’t think it’ll export audio.
