Could be one of two things;
1. There’s a feature that allows this. In the Correction Mode Settings, see the Features page, and uncheck “Use Marks for Segment Correction”
If this is already unchecked, then
2. You have the bug that I’ve seen happen randomly. If you do think it’s the bug, try quitting, restarting the computer etc. Just comes and goes, though I haven’t seen it for a while. Touch wood.

Try a different approach; sounds like you’re putting thePaint effect on the clips – perfectly normal. The Paint effect can also be applied to Filler on a track above the clip.
Do this for the longest duration you might want.
Get your animation right,
Save this to a Bin by Subclipping that track.
Then you can EDIT with that Subclip (use it as a Source and cut it into your Sequence) and its duration won’t change, therefore your animation won’t change.

This is the method I’ve used when I’ve been in your situation.

I wonder if either poster might have had a better/correct result if their project was set to interlaced before export. It probably should have been for the first one, at least, given it was going to a network, even if it was shot and posted as progressive.

Thinking a bit further, IF you are mixing this externally (i.e. not in Media Composer) an option might be to give your Sound Mixer an EDL or similar and let them conform the proper audio.
I’ve worked on programs where this was the preferred method, anyway. But, lots of IFs in there for you.

Depends what you mean by ‘Avid’
Within Media Composer it is acceptable but NOT in Avid Interplay.

I don’t know what codecs and Avid workflow you’re using, but I get my designers to render directly to DNxHD codec; makes my end of things (linking and/or importing) cleaner and much faster.

I imagine you could follow the old tape workflow, where one drive equals one tape.
Mount the first drive. Have a bin open with that drive’s media linked. Select all those clips.
Make a copy of your Sequence, then select that Sequence and Relink it to those linked Master Clips; select Consolidate and tick the box ‘Consolidate only linked media’ (Deselect ‘Create new sequence’)
I expect that will only Consolidate media off drive one. Then you’ll need to unmount it, mount a drive two, link to the media, etc.
Maybe test my theory. Or hopefully others will chime in if it’s wrong.
And longer term, can you consider having a very large drive (or raid) that you can copy all your disk camera files to, for this purpose?

Thanks Jon,
I had missed that.
It helps, in that it clamps the output levels to safe (0-100%) but it does so by clamping the levels; that is, throwing away anything below 0 or above 100. With this on, Boris still generates level outside 0-100, then slices off the excess.
I was hoping there was a way to generate safe levels in the first place.

Neil.

I for one, would like to commend you on having a working Betamax machine!

You have an Interlaced monitor?
Try AMA linking it into a 1080i50 Project and playing it.
You’ll see if it’s correct or not.
