You can make Avid native media in Resolve 11. I just can’t remember what they called it, but it was not immediately obvious. Can you post a screenshot of the container (format) options as I don’t have 11 readily available.

Another possible fix would be to open the clip in a 59.94p project, go to source settings and set play rate tab to “project” then transcode to a new source clip.

Only Media Composer creates a msmMMOB.mdb file. It does so upon starting up and will either create a new one, or validate/update an existing one. Once you put the OPAtom MXF files into the Avid MediaFiles/MXF/(number) folder structure, it will be created after startup.

That’s certainly one way to do it, and in older versions, the only way to do it. In the 8.x series of releases, you can transcode different rates and formats directly from the one project via the transcode settings. Doing it there, preserves the original rate and duration of the source clips. Only use Source Settings playback for rate change typically used for slomo.

I don’t recommend editing with AMA linked media other than under very specific conditions. I suggest AMA link and transcode which creates Avid native media a lot faster than an import as the transcode processes uses all cores versus the one of an import. But if for a couple files, then it may end up being a wash.
When changing the playback rate in source settings, it is doing a frame for frame playback to the project rate. So in your example, 23.976 would play back faster at 29.97 (20% faster). Audio also gets adjusted and sample rate converted to stay in sync, but pitch is not corrected.

At least for the slomo material. Why would you rather import than AMA link and transcode? The latter is much faster.

What version of MC are you running? If you’re MC 8.3 and later, just AMA link and change playback rate to project rate in source settings. It supports both video and audio sources if audio is on the source clip(s).

You should be able to. The question I have is, are you trying to add metadata to existing clips in Media Composer, or create new master clips from the EDL that link to media that already exists in Media Composer?
If you want to send a bin with the clips you want to link to, and a sample EDL to me, I will take a look. Send to michael[at]24p[dot]com

And there’s another one in trim settings specific to trim. And it used to be that when in trim mode the “special” (pre-8.5) would change for trim specific.
I think an NLE in 2016 should no longer have these performance savings settings. In the case of MC, you can still mute/unmute, or solo a V track to enable referencing of tracks to each other for creative work. No need for the other ones and suggest they all be ON and settings removed.
