You might be right, because Avid won’t even let me dupe the sequence the clip is in.

You can overcut the audio in a group but it won’t have a masterclip relationship, but that’ once you’ve cut it into a sequence I guess.

Yeah, all the other footage, including phantom at 300 or 500fps and Alexa at 120 or just 23.976 can be edited normally in the timeline, but I’m guessing the math required for phantom sped up at Avid Fluid Motion was too much? What surprises me is that it’s on a brand Mac pro new with no expense spared. This is on 7.0.4, which is effectively the same software as 8, right?

I have exported 4+ uncompressed to Editshare, but not from Davinci. For the really large files sizes, DPX is probably the reason I avoided the AFP bug.

I work on an Editshare and haven’t seen this, but normally I’m rendering out up for a few hundred GB of individual clips, whether it is DPX, QT or MXF.
I would contact Garret at Editshare and ask about that.

Laco,
ProRes is what the DI/telecine house we are working on this is requesting. We also don’t want to be working with a few hundred hours of DNx115 or ProRes LT on our shared storage as we have many other projects and generally work from DNxHD36 or Proxy.

I can’t seem to successfully sift by date. We just have so many projects on our system that Media Tool has become a real pain.
I use AAFs or ALEs when I can, but if I didn’t make the dailies I don’t always trust what the DIT did.

Hi Michael,
When making dailies in resolve, I always embed the reel information in the source clip. Is there any extra step I can take to populate the Tape name information? I’m pretty sure that when I use the Media Tool, it comes in properly, and that the lazy method of dragging the mdb file is the culprit.
Resolve does transfer over a lot of metadata, but as you say, that Tape column, at least with the mdb file method does seem to not bring over the tape name.
Do you have a better way of using the media tool in a larger shared storage environment? I might be seeing 10+ projects with 10+ corresponding media drives on our Editshare when I use the media tool, and then I have to sort by date to get the new media Avid scanned into my bin. The media tool bin gets so full that scrolling or sifting is very difficult.
Have you written an article anywhere? I’ve looked on 24p but haven’t found it.

Mac Pro 4.1 but also the new iMacs with the nVidia cards.
Seems to be better in 6.5.4.2
But, definitely see it in 7.0.4

I have made the H264s out of Avid before as I’ve found it isn’t much faster to compress a same as source QT with a 3rd party program.
We aren’t usually dealing with lengthy exports as you do in longer form, our issue is mostly that it has to be there yesterday so I’d like to find settings that are pretty reliable.
All our telecine and online exports come from the Flame so we don’t have these issues when it comes to approval.
