Oh, balls. It appears I have run into that exact problem. I’ll stick to load ama/transcode workflow from now on.
In the mean time, is it possible to link to media that’s never yet been known to the project? When I load the originals by ama, select them, and try to right click/relink the sequence from ‘selected items in all open bins’ – I get, ‘no clips were linked’.

Scott, are you of the opinion that it’s best to do all transcoding (from h264 or whatever) internally? I’ve been transcoding in Streamclip to DNxHD 36 Mov, then Avid ‘fast imports’ rushes to wrap MXF. That way MC isn’t locked processing files for hours. Only downside is it’s another duplication of media..

And how you you guys get between timeline and your current bin to load the next clip?
Right now I’m doing this:
from timeline:
TAB – toggle source record – to switch to source
shft + 1 – find bin – focuses bin window with the last clip loaded to source, generally my last place in rushes filtering.
Down arrow, Enter – load next clip
jkl/io/vb – etc -
Yes, I see those shortcuts exist, but I still can’t help feeling like I’m missing something.
How do pro avid users navigate? What’s the flow around the keyboard?
Currently I’m mapping Tab to toggle source/record, I’m using that constantly, but Scott Simmons of Editblog has it all the way up at Esc, https://www.flickr.com/photos/editblog/208694025/ – basically I can’t find any video or written explanations of fast workflow, however users customise it. All material I’m finding only covers basics.

Did you work out your issue Peter? I have the same problem – h264, mpeg 2, xvid avi, divx avi, cinepak avi, all compressions I try exporting lose contrast in every player. Even uncompressed looks wrong in VLC and Media Player Classic. Only uncompressed avi played in Quicktime doesn’t suffer this problem.
What’s going on here?
