Shane, I’m currently running v6.0.1 but these were created in 6.0. Interesting thing is that some clips recorded at the same time have the characters and some don’t. The ones with the characters are giving me relinking issues.

It kind of is AMA=”Avid Media Access”

Thanks Hector, I was afraid I would have to do that and thought there might be an easy way.

There are pros and cons. Like you said, if you do it externally, you don’t tie up the Avid. But, also like you said, you then have an extra layer of media management. I do it within Avid but generally let it run overnight. Also, it seems that AMA linking and then consolidating or transcoding is faster than importing.

All you need to know is to point the Avid to your external drive that you are storing media on. It will put things in the proper folders. Avid organizes itself. Just let it do its thing. Yes you will need your external drive connected all the time. It has all your media files. There will be a folder labeled “Avid Media Files”. Again, leave it alone! It is bad practice to have media files on your system drive. You are way overcomplicating this. Connect the external drive, point the Avid to it, import, transcode, etc. That is it.

You use your “Media Creation” Tool. To designate where the Avid Media Files will go. You can also specify whey you consolidate/transcode which drive they will go on.

If they are on your Mac HD they are usually put in your “Documents” folder. Its not a good idea to have your media files on your internal drive.

Lee, I’m having the exact same error message with a different setup. Working on MC6, 12 Core Mac Pro. No Matrox though. I’m trying to export a 90 minute sequence made up primarily of XDCAM footage with some ProRess 422 and the same exact thing happens. About 2/3 of the way through it goes to the same error message and hangs there indefinitely. Only solution I found was to break it up into 3 parts. This is a very serious “bug” I need to get QTs out in their entirety.
