You said in your original post that the “Final onlining” will take place in Avid. From that I assume that you will be doing something to individual shots, like color correcting. If you send one big QT movie, you will have to go in and add edits throughout the QT movie. You will also have to match the dissolves manually. And if there are any composited shots, you won’t be able to work on the elements individually anymore.
With the Automatic Duck approach, all of your shots would be in there separately.
Can you take one movie in? Yes. Is that the best approach when you plan to continue work on it? No.

[Todd Terry] “I’d much rather someone be truthful and willing to learn something, than to lie to me and say they are proficient at something when they aren’t. “
First of all, I would never have gotten the job if I said I had never done it before.
Second, I pulled it off which is why I’m still in this profession.
Finally, are you telling me that every time a client or potential employer has asked you to do something you had never done before, that your response is always “I’ve never done that but I’m willing to try”?
I find that hard to believe.

You can also “lock” a drive temporarily so that Avid can’t write to it by locking the Avid Media Files and OMFI folders on that drive.

[grinner hester] “One of the best jobs I ever got was a result of saying “yes” on the phone when they asked if I knew the “NightSuite”. I was hired over the phone, moving arrangements were made, then I hung up and called everyone in my local market looking for one so I could learn it.”
My first professional job was as an A/C on a music video. The producer’s wife cut my hair. He had met me through her. He called one day and asked if I was familiar with the Arri camera. Of course I lied and said I was. That gave me one day to spend at the rental house learning that camera inside and out.
It was still tricky on the shoot as the Camera Op would say “go get the high hat”, etc. Having no clue what the heck a high hat was, I would find a grip and ask if he’d seen it laying around. When he pointed at it right next to me I would play it off as my not seeing it.
Ended up doing a lot of work with that group over the years.

Your best bet is to purchase Automatic Duck’s Pro export plugin:

[Lars Fuchs] “Alternately you could use the red segment mode and select everything in the track”
Which is even easier using the “select all forward” button that was added back in 3.something.

I would use the deck to upconvert to 1080.

Sounds like your deck isn’t set to read the proper code for what you are doing. The HDCAM decks can send different codes down the 4:2:2 control line.

That is not correct if you are using the right effect.
Drag the “Pan & Scan” effect from the “Reformat” sub heading in the effects.
Then look up Pan and Scan under your help menu for how to use it.
