Does Media Composer see the network drive to start with? If not, enter “alldrives” into the console and then hit the enter key.
Were the DNxHD proxies transcoded from the network drive location to start with, or has the drive name and path changed? The answer to that will allow part 2 of the process to be explained.

But not when syncing from the timeline – if syncing in timeline and using AutoSync, it just uses the tracks as edited.

For better or worse, Media Composer has become a cornucopia of workarounds. Would rather things would just work as they are designed for…

Does it work if you go to DNxHD first by chance? Or try separating video from audio via a subclip and see if that works and then recombine in a sequence before exporting.

How is the bin being moved, to a different system? I have found issues with sending bins when the bin was open at the time of copy (MC actively running) or attaching to emails without first zipping as some email exchanges damage the header of the .avb.

Have you tried AMA linking which keeps your levels correct, then transcode to the desired codec before exporting?

Well the DX hardware does have the ability to have its firmware updated, but whether it can be or not is the question.

Damn, I should have said games!
Sounds like a fun project. Good luck!

I’ve been dealing with specificity films that want to work at that rate for a variety of reasons. HFR 3D being one of them as they move to 60 (59.94) and they would rather deal with a better picture at 1080 than 720. If YouTube can do 4K at 23.976, I am sure the bandwidth is there for p60 at 1080 using the same compression method.
Digital signage, museums, etc. are all markets where I hear these requests. They don’t want to compromise motion or resolution quality. I don’t see why it should be such a huge issue for Avid – they do 59.94 editing, they have 1080. Put the two together. Avid using the “broadcast” excuse is one reason why they can’t expand into other markets easily. And while we’re at it, I would love to see viewers allow for portrait 16:9 rather than landscape for the digital signage market. I did a museum piece where it was all portrait and it was a pain and small images to flip and reduce so I could sync audio and edit.
This reminds me of all the battles I had at Avid for 23.976p/24p finishing: “no one wants to work that way!” was a debate I had to deal with daily…

Use the MXF AMA plug-in and not the Sony ones in this case since there is no folder structure to start with.
