That’s a good question and one I do not know the answer to as to what exactly goes on under the hood. From a quality perspective, the DNx codecs can go many generations before showing any type of decompress/recompress artifacts. From a time perspective, it would go faster if it did not have to decompress/recompress, but in my tests it is still doing whatever faster than any other export method when you combine all the steps needed to do the other export types.

Strange. And that’s what I mean by “fully” supported. There have been other issues as well such as script color not showing when selected on the buttons, etc. Hopefully it will finally get some TLC now that Avid has the Nexidia rights to brig back PhraseFind and ScriptSync.

What version of MC software are you using? If you are using 8.3 or later, just go to source settings and set playback speed to project rate and both picture and sound are adjusted (not pitch corrected).
If you need to calculate pitch correction, see my spreadsheet to calculate such things at: https://24p.com/wordpress/?p=195

I know the script window supports group clips, I am not sure that multigroups fully are… and you are seeing one of the issues.

I stay away from anything wrapped QuickTime (.mov) as it is not the codec that causes level/gamma issues, but the wrapper. I have tried eliminating any use of QuickTime whenever possible and use OP1a exports. See my blog for reasons why:

What happens if you right click and “set audio gain” to something like -10? CD imports come in hot a lot as well. Something to try.

I never recommend users entering a TAPE name when using AMA as the information is in the SOURCE FILE and that is used the same way TAPE is used for baseband captured workflows. Basically, a clip should not have both TAPE and SOURCE FILE values. There are exceptions like with WAV files that have a Tape name declared in the bEXT or iXML, Media Composer will have both.
The other exception for file based workflows is when clips are transcoded in a third party application like Resolve, the REEL becomes TAPE. But same rule applies, it is either TAPE or SOURCE FILE, but both is not a good idea.
What you can do is use Labroll or Camroll (or custom column) and duplicate the common metadata into via duplicate column, ALE merge, etc. Then when relinking, use “relink to selected” and choose Labroll or whatever column you used for the common reel/source.

I just gave it a quick look, but it seems to me it’s a lot of motion blur that is occurring between their movements as well as the camera itself being handheld. What shutter angle are you recording at?

Just making sure you are also setting playback in source settings to project rate? This has been available since 8.3, don’t know what version you are on. Or are you doing it via a motion effect?
