As Shane said, make sure the folder structure is the way he stated. So HARDDRIVE/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1.
But assuming you just copied the media over like you said, I’ll bet you already did that.
Sometimes there’s just a goof in the database, especially when you’re shuttling media. So just refresh the database by killing the database files. Close Avid (just to be safe, you can minimize/hide it too if you want). Find “msmMMOB.mdb” and “msmFMID.pmr” in “Avid MediaFiles/1” and delete them. If you have more than one media folder (the 1, 2, 3, 4, etc folders), then you need to do the same thing in each folder. Reopen Avid and the databases should auto-refresh.
Hope that helps!

Hey Jonathan,
Just a heads up, PluralEyes v3 does NOT support Avid yet *giant frowny face*.
If you purchase Pluraleyes from Red Giant, you get the v3 standalone application and copies of v2 for each editing system. I don’t know when they’re planning the release an MC version of PluralEyes. The site said they’re working on it.
So if you’re going to use v2, you place all your footage in a timeline, stacked. Then export an AAF file. You round-trip it through their software. It will give you an AAF that you can re-import. It’s very easy.
You could run a test and see if you can AAF AMA’d media into PluralEyes, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it has to be MXF’d first.
Hope that helps!

Hey Dave,
He’s referring to the Automatic Duck feature that is now built into CS6. The product was bought out by Adobe and directly integrated.

Hey Andy. New version of QRSlate supports FCP-X. But I’ll always be refining it to get it perfect. Right now, FCP XML does not support most of the columns available in FCP-X. So most of the information I’ve decided to either include in the Notes column (which is available). The rest are keywords and markers.

oh my… that’s so embarrassing for FCPXML.

Wow, looks like you can’t do this. Scene and Take (as well as all clip metadata) can only be manipulated from within the application.
Unless someone knows otherwise.

A brilliant. Thanks Michael. I figured there must be a separate place for FCPX, but it didn’t seem as clearly labeled as other categories. Thanks!
