Switch the project format to UHD 50fps. re render any renders and then export at that resolution.

WHat happens if you do a video mixdown of a few seconds before, over the transistion and then after. How does that play? smooth or choppy?

Managed Avid media is media created by Avid during Import, Transcode, consolidate or render. AMA linked media lives outside the normal managed Avid Media (however a while ago AVid added some management of AMA linked media but this has limits) So with True managed media Avid willscan the databases, rebuild if required and relink seemlessly. With AMA

No those database files are just Avids quick look up directory info of the Avid media files in that folder. Normally Avid will rebuild those files automatically if it detects a change in the folders contents. They exist as the scanning and building of those files takes time and would make launching the app very slow on large projects. Deleting them

My thoughts: The work to blur/digitally obscure all the source footage and digitally process the sound is a massive task and would likley only end up with low quality results as its would be an endless task to do it all at finishing quality. So you will need to go the proxy route and using resolve to make avid proxies with embedded effects could work

Personally I'd have A (or B) editor import the source file (well actually I'd AMA link and then transcode) I'd then send the bin and the transcoded media to the other editor. you are both working off the same AVid media derived from the same source file. If the transcoded media is lost then you batch re-import (if imported YUK) or just link

I've always found colourists hate video clips that are hidden but repeated clips aren't an issue. They can easily apply a grade to clips. If set up correctly you can even automatically apply grades to matching clips.

[quote user="Job ter Burg"] Pro Tools allows for that. But PT treats clips on the timeline a bit differently. [/quote] And I suspect Avid also considers they have a tool that does that so why add it to the video editing tool. We've seen this before.

Have you tried bringing the interlaced content into a Progressive timeline and experimenting with the motion adapter that will be applied? As you need to export as a P its best if you can do that conversion in the timeline so you can see the result during the edit. Remember you can promote to fluid motion for any shots that still don't look good

THis has been raised before. Creating 2 mono tracks from a stereo track is a relatively simple task as you just duplicate the attributes from the stereo to the 2 mono tracks. If the 2 mono tracks were identical then in theory making them into a stereo track isn't that difficult but if there is any difference between the tracks that becomes impossible
