And I am referring to the availability of the archive that is dependent on ProRes as a camera original. I expect codecs to continue changing as we go, but archives are a different matter.

That would be nice. There are several binary type settings that would benefit from a modifier key to the process to allow the other setting state (pop-up locator/marker window for example).

That’s why the need for the codecs and wrappers to be a published standard so that camera originals from an archive don’t become a useless waste of disk space and doesn’t require constant conversion and maintenance. But consumers and professionals have different needs, and clearly this is more of a consumer play for Apple than a professional one. Apple will leave pro solutions to third parties which is fine if the hooks in the operating system remain in place while being enhanced over time with new methods.

Go to Settings>Composer and turn off “Copy Source Markers”

I agree that BOTH the wrapper and the codec need to be ratified as open standards. Much like MXF and DNxHD, DPX, etc.

I do like Pro Player a lot, but there is something to be said in workflow with the Quicklook feature. I was also on another thread where the customer did not want to install anything other than their beloved OSX player because it’s what they had. Stupid I know, but causes issues all the same. Both QuickTime and ProRes codec are not open formats. That is why DNxHD (DPX, etc.) was ratified by SMPTE as VC3 ensuring archives of material could still be decoded by anyone using the specification. One could say the same for R3D which is only available through the company or by licensing. I think Cineform was going through some SMPTE ratification before being acquired by GoPro but I need to check into that again.
Bringing the “goodness and ease”of iOS7 to OS X is a consumer play, not necessarily a good one for the content creators themselves. On one hand, I’m all for getting out of QuickTime’s quirky gamma of the day issues regardless of codec, and hope that “quickly” over time, that the new AV Foundation allows for other codecs to be accessed. And if they want to play really nicely with broadcasters and studio archives, publish AV Foundation as an open format.

When you say you want to end up with a subclips containing 2 video clips and 4 audio channels, that is the definition of a group clip, and not a .sync clip which can only contain 1 video clip. If a group clip, then I would suggest after the Read Audio TC process to modify the clips to remove that track from the clip then grouping rather than syncing. Group based on on AucTX1. If you want to create a single group clip, create a dummy clip whose START and END encompass the full range of TC in the AuxTC1 of the other clips and add to the selection before making a group.

You’ve tried both the folder and file AMA versions in v7?

You may need to uninstall and reinstall.

You may need to encode as Dolby E first if MXF only carries two tracks:
