XML will export all columns including custom if there is a value in that field for any given shot. So it won’t include tags where there are no values to reduce the size of the overall file (and complexity). An XSL translation file would know how to deal with the tags in a target format.
If this is not what you are seeing, please send me your bin with the sequence in it to michael(at)24p(dot)com

Highlight all master clips and/or subclips and select EXPORT. In settings you can select ALE or TAB. The export automatically adds bin name as a bonus…

It is an extra step to matchback (can be mapped to a button or use macros to build it into one) but I don’t understand the need to subclip again. Why not just edit from the audio only clip from the ISO track as needed?
Anyway, you are close. You are thinking of Tom Ohanian. We co-wrote Digital Filmmaking in the late 90’s. He was the big James Bond collector, and I am the Billy Wilder collector.

I am on a Mac with v5.5.1 and Option+Command enables yellow arrow direct edit from script to timeline. There was a modifier key change with v5 and later.

Yes, that makes it clear.
In v5, AutoSync got some additional features where during the original sync process you can choose which audio tracks from the BWF you want to be part of the new .sync subclip. In your case, you would select A1-A1 (span based selection). You would now end up with a VA1 subclip from the two different sources.
Now, when editing, you only have to deal with the VA1 clip. Do a matchframe to load subclip into source, then turn off V and matchframe again and it will load the original BWF clip with all tracks to use as needed.
Does that get you what you want?

Just to be clear… your telecine dailies are MOS or have 4 audio tracks? Or are you syncing 4 track BWF files in Avid with track 1 being the mix track? I am a little confused as to what your actual sources are, and what your sync clips are created from to answer.

I may be mistaken, but I believe v5.5.1 added the ability to track selection when using AMA. Perhaps someone here has used it already? I need to check to confirm it does what you are asking.

If there is timecode in those files, then I would not use AMA. Timecode from BWF files interpreted through QuickTime is not accurate.
That being said, there is no direct structure profile for audio or QuickTimes that is defined in the plug-in as do XDCAM, P@ and RED for example. For that reason, there is no subfolder support at this time.

Depends on how the receiving system interprets the timecode within the file itself. Many systems assume all files start at 00:00:00:00 and count from there. If that is indeed the case, then enter 00:00:00:00 into an AuxTC column for all your sources (use the multiclip entry feature to speed this up) then export an EDL based on that AuxTC column.

Film productions have been using FilmScribe and the optical list for years for this information. There are several templates to look at for layout. There is also an XML export which can be parsed or have an XSL applied for conversion. Another one to look at is HTML which is designed for sharing via Internet with hyperlinks and such.
