Here’s the thing you’re going to run into if you’re mixing AMA and non-AMA clips. With clips that don’t inherently have timecode (5D Mark ii and Go Pro) if you don’t use a third party applications to assign timecode (You can use QTChange with 5D Mark ii and you can use MP4toQT for Go Pro) if you import these clips into the Avid, it will assign TC starting at 01:00:00:00. If you AMA these clips, it will start TC at 00:00:00:01 so there’s a big inconsistency. If the clips have timecode (either by being pre-processed with the aforementioned tools, or in the case of 5D Mark iii the clips already have embedded timecode) the timecode will be preserved regardless of whether they’re imported or AMAed.

Both QTChange and MP4toQT are available at videotoolshed.com. Unfortunately, if you’ve already brought the clips in without embedded timecode, there’s nothing that can be done now.

You said you ingested at 10:1. I’m assuming you AMA and transcoded the files? Did you save the original AMA files, and did you add the Disk Label information to the AMA clips, or did you add it once they were transcoded? Confirm that the disk label information is on the AMA clips. I’ve relinked via AMA using the “selected items in all open bins” method and it’s worked fine. Just make sure the AMA clips all have the correct disk label information, and make sure you’d selected both the sequence you’re trying to upres, and the ama clips.

First, Joe, how are you? Been a long time since GoTV! Good to see you here!

Is this a new system? Slot configuration can be very important.

The first thing I’d check, if this is a new system, would be this.

I’ve heard of people having trouble using Avid and ExFat. If you online for PC, you might try formatting the drive NTFS and using a program like Paragon. I’ve done this before and it was fine.

DNA was what they called the hardware back then. (Digital Non-Linear Accelerator) I.E. the Mojo and Andrenaline. Are you referring to DNxHD? I think you can, but those are only available in HD projects. Are you working in an SD project?

What you might try, is move the group into it’s own bin to isolate it. In the bin hamburger menu go to “Set Bin Display” and turn on “Reference Clips”. Find the AMA clip and try relinking it to the MXF media. Don’t relink to the group itself. Relink to the reference master clip.

Were your dailies originally created using Resolve or another dailies processing software? Those programs will typically add a tape name to your media for tracking purposes, and depending on how you set the program, the naming convention for those dailies could vary so it will be important to make sure those match.

If this is not the case and your dailies were originally imported or AMAed and transcoded, the simplest solution would probably be to batch import.

Are you talking about the SSL vulnerability from 10.9.1? I believe that was fixed in 10.9.2

It usually defaults to bins. You might try trashing your MCState files. They live in 2 locations, and you should kill them all. The first location is.

Macintosh HD\Users\Shared\AvidMediaComposer\Avid Users\(User Folders)

and the second is

Macintosh HD\Applications\Avid Media Composer\Settings

(In the applications settings folder, in addition to the MCState file, you can clean the site setting and site attributes files. The Avid will automatically rebuild these next time you start the Avid)

Have you tried mixing down to DNxHD or ProRes and then exporting a Quicktime REF? Since it’s reporting an error on that codec, try another codec.
