Hi,
I have to build a workflow in which Maya animators can export DNxHD 115 directly, to feed to editorial. I think the animators can export the MXF files, howerever, I'm not sure how to get them into Avid afterwards.
The easiest workflow would appear to be to have the animators export quicktimes and then have editorial transcode those in Avid to Avid Media. However, the work environment is extremely fast paced and there is little time for transcoding.
I know that DITs provide footage from set - usually with the help of Resolve - creating ALEs and media that links with it. But, I don't think the Maya animators can provide ALEs.
If I export MXFs and put them in the Avid MediaFiles folder, I can't see them with the Media Tool to drag them in, nor can I drag them in directly.
Does anyone have any ideas for making this Maya to Avid workflow operate? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
