April 22, 2014 at 5:14 pm in reply to: What’s the Easiest Way To Transfer All Media From One (any only one) Project (not just a sequence) To A New Drive?

I just wrote a lengthy Avid rant and deleted it. I will say this though…when I can’t even move media back and forth between drives without a big song and dance, that’s a major problem.

Thanks, Pat. The main problem I see with the folder numbering system is if you’re working on different projects on the same drive for an extended period of time. As far as I know, in Avid you can’t direct the program to drop media into different folders as you go. It only puts it in folder #1. Therefore, If you work on one project and then switch to another, you have no control where renders and other files go. I guess, you could make sure to place all your files into the right folder at the end of every session, but this could become quite tedious, if you need to flip flop between projects. I wish Avid would place media files into separate project-based folders on its own.

Thanks, Oliver. I’ll investigate Media Copy further.

Hey, Michael.

One thing I realised was that after I followed your advice of sorting by project with the Media Tool and dumping all the clips into a new bin, all I had to do was select all the clips and choose consolidate. There doesn’t appear to be any need to make one sequence that includes all the clips. This is quite a relief actually and could possibly be the best way of transferring files between drives in Avid?

Wow, Michael. I can’t believe this. I’m so tempted to go on an Avid rant here, but won’t. Thanks for your amazing help though.

April 20, 2014 at 4:42 pm in reply to: Flameflex LUT not applied during BACKGROUND transcoding?

Thanks, Michael. I think it’s the same bug. I am on Avid MC 7.0.3 and Mac OS Mavericks.

I haven’t researched DMF, so excuse me for asking – how can you perform background transcoding without using DMF? I ask, because you say “I have not experienced any issues when not using DMF and using either foreground or background transcode”. My limited understanding of DMF lead me to believe that background transcoding was only possible because of DMF technology. Like I said though, I haven’t researched it thoroughly at all.

When I use frameflex to apply a LUT and foreground transcode, I’m able to bake the LUT into the offline files. When I do the same thing, but click on “run in background”, the LUT is not applied.

Thanks for verifying this, Andy. I can’t believe video editors do a clean install every time a new OS comes out. There’s so much software to reinstall. You could spend 2-3 days doing just this.

I’m sorry. I’ve forgotten, as it was so long ago and I rarely use Premiere these days. I think maybe we had to bring the files in in small batches.

October 29, 2013 at 9:24 pm in reply to: Workaround to RTAS audio rendering problem?

I just did a test. I brought the Avid render ( with lower compression and gain settings) into Premiere. Once in there, I could increase the volume and compression of the movie to a much greater degree and render it out of there. This really makes me believe this to be an Avid bug or limitation. This workflow helps me get around exporting individual tracks from Avid and importing into Audition. It’s still not ideal, but it’s the only thing I can come up with for now.

Thanks, Job. I’ve tried rendering only one track and I’ve tried rendering to mono and stereo. I can mix in Audition, but not Avid. I think what I’ll have to do is mix in Avid with lower compression and gain values and use “Boom” volume boosting software on my mac, so that I can hear everything properly. Then, I’ll export the movie and try bringing it into Final Cut Pro or Premiere and boosting the volume in there and exporting for the web. Your thoughts about the 32 db gain being insane made me realise I just couldn’t mix in Avid the way I was. I do think it’s a bug though, because I can do it in other software.
