Hi there, I'm new here, so hopefully I'm putting this in the right place. I currently run 2 pretty new avid setups, one laptop MC 8.5.3, and one desktop MC 8.6.1 I've been using the laptop without problem for about 6 months, the desktop is brand new. Ive had no problem using the AMA link feature to link to footage shot on our Canon C300. It always links fine as: AVC High 422 Intra (1080P) and is immediately viewable in the source monitor. I just consolidate it to a drive and everything is fine.
The new desktop machine however seems to link differently. First it's a slightly different interface called called 'Source Browser' instead of 'Link to media' and you can't seem to be able to select what sort of vision you're hoping to link to eg. Quicktime/Canon etc... But anyway, you can see the Canon folder filled with the footage and when you 'Link' it succesfully fills your source bin with all of the right clips, fine so far except that unlike the laptop, it wants to link them in as AVC Intra 100 (1080i), and when you throw them in the source monitor you get a black screen and a: CDCIReader_UNKNOWN_COMPRESSION_TYPE error message.
As far as I can tell, both machines have the same AMA plugins, and link settings, and both project formats are 1080i/50
I have screen grabs of the process if that helps, but I can't work out how to attach them to this post
