Scott,
Managing your AVID assets is not all that difficult. Douglas Bruce, https://www.gaijin-eyes.com/, has a tutorial set that demystifies asset management and shows you one way to transfer entire projects from computer to computer. The tutorials are not free but neither are they expensive. IMHO, his Media Management tutorial series is well worth a few bucks! Good luck.

Hi Sally,
You need to spend a little time getting to know DNxHD. It is a codec used by AVID in MC. There are several levels of compression. What you can use is based on the format of your project. AVID has a white paper on it: https://www.avid.com/static/resources/US/documents/dnxhd.pdf.

Hi Sally,
Not sure if is the same workflow but I’m working on a project with .mov source files from FCP6 and importing them into MC 6.5. The .mov container that FCP uses is using s unique FCP codec which is not able to be read by MC directly. However, I have used AVS Video Converter 8 to convert the FCP .mov files to AVCHD .mov files and import them into MC using an DNxHD codec. 1:1 creates really huge files so stay with a reasonable DNxHD compression and you should be happy with the output.
I hope this helps. -
Thanks for the reply. The processor has 6 cores and can run 12 threads. I have not run a processor monitor during an editing session but I will try that next. I understand that MC is processor intensive. I’m also suspecting the CUDA processor on my Quadro 2000, but I’ve read different posts about how much MC takes advantage of a CUDA processor.

Hi Michael,
I am using WD Black 1TB SATA 2 drives with 32 MB cache. As another comment mentioned, I do not see Blue before the Red or Yellow so it might not be HD related. Still, it’s worth considering an upgrade.
