Hey guys, I haven't used AVID at all in about 8 years and I want to come back. Sick of Adobe!
That said, I have a project Im currently working on in Premiere. It's a long-term project, otherwise Id just finish it in Premiere. So I exported an XML to Resolve, and finally got that to work. All the media and red footage is online in Resolve. Then I exported an XML to Avid MC 8.6.1 I couldn't get it to import. It just asked if it was CMX or GVG and then either option proceeded to give me a bunch of errors. I tried importing an AAF from resolve via the using the Import AAF, XML EDL from the drop down menu and that didnt work either. It just said "no list to process." I happened to read somewhere that I could drag and drop the AAF into an open bin in MC and that actually worked. All the master clips are in the bin and I have my sequence on the timeline.. BUT, all the clips are offline.
I've tried relinking to the media drive, I've tried manually importing AMA linked master clips into an open bin and then relinking to clips in open bins, and that did not work. I've tried batch re-importing and nothing works.
I want to get the media online in MC ia AMA linking so I dont have to transcode all this media. After a couple hours of searching and trying things and checking the Avid reference manual on workflows I haven't found any instructions on how to do this, and nothing I've tried has worked. I've got 22 days left on my MC trial. I'd like to make the move, but if I cant get this to work then MC wont work for me right now. Any suggestions on how to AMA link to my offline media?
