FYI: Adding a locator to a group clip does not propagate it down to the clips in the group should you load the original source clip.

Did you try creating a new project, and just opening the bins? If 1995, you have four project choices when creating a new one:

NTSC
PAL
NTSC24 (not 23.976)
PAL 24

None of the clips have common timecode?

Columns added to “custom view” will only last so long. You really need to set it up, then “save as” to a name of your choice.

Sounds like “set bin display” settings are set to not display master ciips. In the receiving bin, select “Set bin display” and make sure master clips are selected and active.

Did you uninstall all previous versions of Avid editing products before installing the trial?

AMA transcode is to DNxHD is faster than the import process. AMA is near real time, while import is 2x to 2.5x longer. Also, 5.5.1 give the same if not more control over levels via AMA as the traditional import.

I did the latter of what Michael proposes on the last two features I helped with. I went to Cineform first which embedded the timecode into the file so there was no “interpretation” of the timecode by the multiple editing systems being used. Also, the Cineform file became my new master for DI for the reasons Michael mentions.

If you work directly from the original .mov files, then Avid creates a timecode based on creation date. This is helpful from an organization POV when asking looking for a shot from “last Tuesday afternoon…”

But if a downstream process doesn’t interpret the same way, you may have an issue with the conform being 1 or more frames off. In that scenario, you can always enter 00:00:00:00 into one of the Aux TC columns and use that for an EDL as it will be a frame offset from zero (head of file) which any system should be able to do.

When using Sorenson Squeeze for example, click “advance” settings and play around with the settings as you see in the frame grab here:

Things that will change is whether your source is progressive, frame rate, if interlace – field ordering, etc.
