Yes, speeds are handled differently once a clip is promoted. Before promotion, the Temporal Adaptor dynamically adjusts the clip to match the Sequence’s frame rate, and any changes in Playback Frame Rate in Source Settings affect how it plays back. But once you promote the clip, it locks in its speed based on the original clip’s frame rate, meaning speed changes (like 200%) are calculated from that, not the adapted frame rate.

That’s why, in your test, the first clip (with the Temporal Adaptor) drifted out of sync when you changed the Playback Frame Rate, while the promoted clip stayed in sync—it was already locked to its original frame timing. If you want consistent speed behavior, promoting clips before applying speed changes is the way to go.

There are several potential issues that could be causing the problem you’re experiencing with the audio objects showing at maximum volume or zero and not being correctly placed on the sound stage. Here are some areas to check and troubleshoot:

1. **Clock Sync Issues**: Since Box 1 is handling clock purposes with Via and the Controller, ensure that all devices are properly synchronized to the same clock source. Any clock drift or sync issues can cause audio artifacts and incorrect positioning.
2. **Routing Configuration**: Verify that the routing of audio channels from DaVinci Resolve to the Dolby Atmos Renderer is correctly configured. Ensure that each object channel in DaVinci Resolve is mapped to the correct input channel on the Renderer.
>3. **Level Calibration**: Check the level calibration of the audio channels. Ensure that the levels are correctly set in DaVinci Resolve and that there are no unexpected gain adjustments happening in the Dante Virtual Soundcard or the Renderer.
4. **Dante Virtual Soundcard Settings**: Verify the Dante Virtual Soundcard settings on both Box 2 and Box 3. Ensure that the sample rate, buffer size, and network settings are correctly configured and match across all devices.
5. **Dolby Atmos Renderer Configuration**: Check the configuration settings in the Dolby Atmos Renderer. Ensure that the Renderer is set up to receive the correct number of channels and that the input mappings correspond to the output mappings from DaVinci Resolve.
6. **Metadata Transmission**: Ensure that the positional metadata for each object is being correctly transmitted from DaVinci Resolve to the Dolby Atmos Renderer. Any issues with metadata transmission can result in incorrect placement of objects on the sound stage.
7. **Network Latency and Jitter**: Monitor the network for any latency or jitter issues that could affect the transmission of audio and metadata. Dante Controller software can help in diagnosing network-related problems.
8. **Software Versions and Compatibility**: Ensure that you are using compatible versions of DaVinci Resolve, Dolby Atmos Renderer, and Dante Virtual Soundcard. Any incompatibilities between versions could result in unexpected behavior.
9. **System Resources**: Check the resource usage on each PC (CPU, RAM, network bandwidth) to ensure that none of the systems are being overloaded, which could cause performance issues.

By systematically checking these areas, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the audio objects not displaying correctly in the Dolby Atmos Renderer.

In Avid Media Composer, there isn’t a direct feature to freeze video tracks while scrolling through audio tracks only, similar to Excel’s “freeze panes.” However, you can use some workarounds to manage your workflow more efficiently:

1. **Track Height Adjustments**: Minimize the height of the audio tracks when you need to focus on them, and restore them when you need to work on the video tracks. You can do this quickly by Ctrl + Alt + K (decrease height) and Ctrl + Alt + L (increase height).

2. **Custom Workspaces**: Create custom workspaces tailored to different tasks. You can set up one workspace where audio tracks are minimized and video tracks are in focus, and another where the opposite is true. You can switch between these workspaces as needed.

3. **Track Grouping**: Use the Track Control Panel to group similar tracks together. This won’t freeze the video tracks but can make navigating between different types of tracks easier.

4. **Scrolling Shortcuts**: Utilize scrolling shortcuts to quickly navigate through your timeline. For example, Shift + Scroll can help you move through tracks more efficiently.

5. **Bins and Sequences**: Organize your project using bins and sequences to focus on specific parts of your edit without being overwhelmed by the entire timeline. This can help manage large numbers of tracks.

While these methods don’t offer a perfect solution, they can help you manage your workflow and keep important tracks in view while working with others.

It’s possible that the issue you’re experiencing is related to permissions, but there could be other causes as well. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the system requirements: Make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for running Avid Media Composer v7.02.1771. You can find these requirements on the Avid website.

2. Update the software: Check for any updates to Avid Media Composer and make sure that you have the latest version installed. Updating the software may resolve any known bugs or issues.

3. Check the storage system: Verify that the Genesis NX array storage is properly connected and functioning. You may need to check with your IT department or storage vendor to troubleshoot any issues with the storage system.

4. Check file permissions: Make sure that you have the appropriate permissions to access and save files to the folders you need. This may require adjusting permissions in the file system or consulting with your IT department.

5. Test with a new project: Try creating a new project and see if you are able to render, create/edit titles, import/export files, and perform other functions without issue. If the problem persists, it may be a software or hardware issue that requires further troubleshooting.

6. Contact Avid support: If you are still having trouble after trying these steps, contact Avid support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or suggest a solution based on your specific setup and configuration.

I hope this helps you resolve the issue with Avid Media Composer.

The reason why trim-to-fill may not work on some frame rates when promoting a clip is due to the difference in the number of frames per second between the source footage and the timeline. When you promote a clip, it’s being interpreted at the frame rate of the timeline, and if the frame rates don’t match, you may experience issues with trim-to-fill.

To resolve this issue, you can try changing the frame rate of the timeline to match the frame rate of the source footage before promoting the clip. You can also try using time remapping or speed adjustments to adjust the timing of the source footage so that it matches the frame rate of the timeline.

Another option is to use a third-party plugin or software that can handle frame rate conversions more seamlessly, such as Adobe Media Encoder or DaVinci Resolve.

Ultimately, the best approach will depend on your specific workflow and the requirements of your project. I recommend experimenting with different methods to see what works best for you.

1. Check the file format: Make sure that the file format you’re trying to export is supported by your version of Avid. You can find a list of supported file formats in the Avid documentation.

2. Check the export settings: Double-check your export settings to make sure they’re correct. Make sure that you’re exporting to the correct file format and that the settings match the requirements of the platform you’re exporting to.

3. Check the destination folder: Make sure that the destination folder you’re exporting to has the necessary permissions and enough space to store the exported files.

4. Update Avid: Check if there is a new version of Avid available and update it if necessary. This may resolve any compatibility issues with Monterey 12.6.3.

5. Check for conflicting software: Check if there are any other software applications that could be conflicting with Avid. Try closing all other applications and see if the problem persists.

6. Contact Avid support: If none of these solutions work, it may be worth contacting Avid support directly for assistance. They may have additional troubleshooting steps or be able to provide further insight into the issue.

I hope one of these suggestions helps you resolve the issue with exporting graphic files on your Mac Studio.
