With your issues. She can get it straightened out.

I asked a hypothetical question on the Avid Editors of Facebook which company could best weather the EOL of their NLE as part of the overall company offerings. For me, easily the top of the list would be Apple. In the middle was Adobe, and I put Avid at the bottom of the list as everything Avid offers is mostly tied to the NLE. It is a rare thing to see an ISIS and/or Interplay without an Avid NLE on it. I still only know of one ISIS in China that has no Avid NLE on it.
Which then sort of begs a follow up hypothetical question. What if Adobe and FCPx worked equally well as Media Composer on ISIS and/or Interplay- how committed would Avid be to its own NLE?
I am referring to video NLE’s Media Composer, Symphony option, and NewsCutter. Pro Tools is a different conversation.
The discussion becomes interesting as well with Blackmagic – but I suspect it would be fine as well as “editing” is a growth market for them in addition to the color correction. And I don’t think EditShare is dependent on Lightworks for its other offerings that are mainly used with other NLEs and workflows.
Always an interesting conversation to have after 3-4 beers and a shot.

I have not, but would not be surprised that this could be a potential bug. I will on a R3D spanned file as I do not have any FS7 type files to test with.
If on a later version, a workaorund may be to transcode to source resolution on the source clip first to DNxHR, then FrameFlex from that.

I never recommend using an ALE file to relink to media. While it may work, it is not consistent. Issue especially arise with the relationship between V and A tracks of the same file as the ALE does not define those relationships well (compared to an AAF for example).
As mentioned, try importing the msmMMOB.mdb from the numbered folder(s) in the Avid MediaFiles/MXF folder structure.

Riiiight. Sorry, I forgot about which version you were using. Don’t know if generating an EDL based on AuxTC with 00:00:00:00 as the start value of each clip. EDL’s are pretty restrictive depending on complexity of sequence.

Enter 00:00:00:00 into one of the Auxilliary TC columns (1-5) on all the clips. This can be done as a bulk copy process. When relinking, set up the link setting to use AuxTC instead of Start.
I would not get rid of any original timecode.

Relinking across different sources and timecodes was introduced in 7.2 or 7.3 I believe.

No, I have conformed in Resolve with mixed sources as third parties are aware of this. Tape still exists in many workflows. The issue is that Avid has yet to let third parties apply metadata to the Source File field when creating media.

When third parties create Avid native media using Avid’s licensed SDK (which Resolve does), the file name or the REEL ID ends up in the TAPE column. Anything imported or AMA linked ends up in SOURCE FILE. One can relink across columns.

Doesn’t matter what you rename the clips to, the Source File name or the Tape name remain the same. You don’t need to relink to the higher quality files first in MC – just export an AAF from your edit and in Resolve you set the preference to original camera files that have been added to the Media Pool.
