Re: Moving files written to the wrong disk

Andrei Zhitkov — 2010-09-01T15:10:02-05:00

In short, no, it isn't possible with local storage. MediaNet allows to keep all media files for a particular project in one workspace, but even then it's done in a different way than what you are describing. Media Composer is much more rigid about naming conventions for the media location than, say, FinalCut where media folders are named after the project.

Re: DS archiving

Andrei Zhitkov — 2010-08-24T17:07:58-05:00

Let me make one thing perfectly clear - archiving a DS projects and backing-up a DS project are two different animals.

First you make an archive, just as it is described in the manual. After that you can use Archive Backup utility to back up that archive with or without the associated media. That's why the utility is expecting an archive in Archive Root (i.e. D:\DS Archives). Set Destination path to point to your external drive, checkmark the media in File Types and off you go. If DS Archive Backup utility fails to move the media files, I'm sure the DS Support will be interested to know about that.

Generally speaking, you can employ regular, non-DS-specific back-up procedures, just like you would backup any other files. Of course the trick is to know which crazy-named media folder contains the media files for a particular project.

Re: OMF 2.0 for Protools

Andrei Zhitkov — 2010-08-11T16:01:50-05:00

Just use 'Send to..."
File > Send to... > Didgidesign Protools > QuickTome - Embedded Audio.
This will give you valid OMF2 parameters.

Re: I lost 3 hours of my life on Media Composer 4.05

Sapphire is known to give bus-thread errors. You might want to look into updating it to the current version.

Re: Getting 1080 footage out of Avid as something that I can use

kate59588 — 2010-08-10T00:55:18-05:00

The native format of HDV isn’t QuickTime, its .M2T.

Anyway, while working on my latest book, I needed to convert .M2T files into something that Final Cut can edit. Final Cut likes lots and lots of different files – but not .M2T.

This means that if someone captures an HDV file in another application, such as Adobe OnLocation or HDVSplit , then sends it to you, you’ll need to transcode it to QuickTime before bringing it into Final Cut on MAC.

Convert M2T to FCP

Re: Avid Nitris DX to Avid MCS 5

Andrei Zhitkov — 2010-07-14T16:47:38-05:00

Going back and forth between Media Composer Nitris DX and Soft is not a problem as long as the application is the same version or at least the same generation.

importing EX1 files

mstolau — 2010-07-13T19:23:18-05:00

Hi there

I've been editing material shot on a Sony EX1 on a 30 day trial version of Avid Media Composer 4.05 on an iMac running OS 10.5.8. When I first created the project Avid seemed to scan all the connected disks and automatically created new bins representing the folders on my hard disk for each card. I did some pickup shots yesterday and I can't get Avid to import anything from them, let alone create new bins automatically the way it did for the other cards.

Going into Finder and dragging the MP4 files into a bin gives me the error message "The file format of ... is not supported for import". In fact it's giving me this message even if I try to import files already in the project. The format is the same: 1080/25p. I can look at the clips in XDCam EX Clip Browser and can confirm that the format is the same for the new shots as the older ones.

Avid did make one new bin automatically: when I connected the card reader last night to transfer the footage off the cards it made...

There are 720p/23.976 and 1080p/23.976

No, not at all.
