Needed to get an EDL off it? 🙂

Are you transcoding to DNxHD, or do you want to keep it as ProRes and just rewrap as MXF? How long are the clips? What’s the error message?
Try:
Subclipping in half before the transcode and see if you get the same error message
Fast import will keep it as ProRes – does that give a message?

You’re not saying something stupid, just validating the fact that if properly designed, it could work that way. From the demo I got yesterday, it did not seem that the watch folders were tied to LUT and Frame Flex views at all – I am hoping that a combination of steps might get us there – but we shall see. At first glance, the primary design goals seem to be around Media Composer having first and direct access rather than that as well as a pre and post MC pipeline for image processing and conform.
But this was an alpha version – beta doesn’t start till next week, so I would expect changes and adjustments to some of the stuff before the release.

That changes in v7 just announced and showing at NAB for all AMA linked media. I need to verify whether opening non-AMA 1080 media in a 720 or SD project allows for the same controls.

The marketing does mention CDL support so we’ll see where that goes. They also mentioned that one will be able to add new LUTs so, if properly designed, one could keep footage as LOG and metadata reference a LUT and/or CDL values as metadata.

Assimilate has a great reputation for very fast adoption and support of new codecs and formats, so replacing Resolve on the front and back-end with it should not be an issue. The metadata “caution” is the same with either system as it is something for production to be aware of when setting up the camera and not name the prefix:

No mention of Avid DS at NAB – Symphony is no longer and its feature set is now an option. Basically eliminating the need for separate development to differentiate those two products…

There is no AMA plug-in for DNG that I know, nor one in progress that has been announced. The concept behind AMA is that the camera manufactures create the plug-in. In the case of RED, Avid actually develops the AMA plug-in, not RED. With the RAW settings, I suspect Avid would need to do this work but I could be wrong.
DNG right now is done via Resolve. My presentation on DNG from a few months back spoke spoke to the metadata challenges of the long camera file names being used in Media Composer that truncates after 32 characters for any ALE merge of the metadata or EDLs.
