Edit: Oops. Nevermind… was looking in the wrong place.

Did you get an AAF back from the colorist? If so, can you import that and link to the colored material so that you now have the “colorist” sequence all linked and color timed?
If you can get that far, then it seems you would just have to make the timewarps and other effects again manually using the color timed media to match your old sequence.

Yes. Good clarification. I should have said when you cut them into the sequence they will be in the sequence as well if they were on the clip.
Should you want to use it, that setting is here, you need to have your Source/Record monitor window highlighted:
Windows > Composer Settings > Edit > Copy Source Markers (locators!!!!!)
-
In case you’re not aware… the locators (markers, sorry, I refuse to not use locator as that’s what they are!) will go into the sequence if you already have them on the clip if you have the setting for that turned on.

Additionally, if you need to know what folder the sound file came from to keep them organized in the Avid, you can have the bin show the Source Path column and see what folder it lives in on the HDD and organize accordingly inside MC.
-
If you import from the menu inside of Media Composer, you should be able to open up each folder to see the files inside multiple folders at once. Then you can select all and it will not select folders, just the audio files and you can import files from different folders at the same time.
And I’m pretty sure you don’t need to worry about the slashes. Your synced clip names won’t have them. Don’t take my word for this since I usually get my dailies prepped at a facility… but audio files from the sound mixer always come in with a slash. Now I have had to go back to original audio and did change the slash for anything I cut into the edit, but not for sound that was synced into a clip. (If that makes any sense. Basically, I did make sure no slashes showed up in the timeline, but didn’t worry about slashes in the original audio clip if I didn’t cut it in directly.)

I’ve had that error and I think it was when I made group clips with shots that had timecode going over from one day to the next, past midnight. The clip would not load and got that error. I looked at the duration and it was something like 14 hours long! It couldn’t make the group clip correctly because of the timecode.
So check the durations of whatever you are getting that error on, particularly if it’s a group clip.

That looks genius! Gonna give it a try, thanks!
-
Yeah, that looks very tedious and the tutorial I saw didn’t really seem to say why or where/how all that subclipping is happening.
We also don’t have Plural Eyes, so we’re just going to skip it unless that Group It For Me thing Trevor mentioned in his reply works!
Thanks for the response!

I know this is old but…
If they’re editing on Avid and asking for prepared footage, why do they want ProRes? Avid uses mxf files. Why wouldn’t they ask you to make what they are gong to have to use to edit?
And yeah, best bet is to prep in Avid if they’re going to cut in Avid. It will avoid losing sound metadata if nothing else.
