I can only tell you what I see happen...

OK, thx. My experience was that when exporting Same As Source, a sequence in DNxHD36 with just one (VFX) element in DNxHD175x, would cause the SaS export to take much longer, and end up being DNxHD175x.

[quote user="pantau"] [quote user="Job ter Burg"] That is surprising. I tried this on 2018.5 just now, not sure what version you're on. So are you sure you're looking at the right clips & media after the process? [/quote] I tried again, double checking the media creation settings, both ways (linked and relinking). The

[quote user="pantau"]Reimporting says "creating video from ...", so I'm sure its recoded and not rewraped.[/quote] A Fast Import (re-wrap) only happens if 1. the codec of the source file is in a codec native to MC 2. the frame size of the source file matches the project's size exactly 3. the framerate of the source file matches

[quote user="pantau"]This sounds great, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work the same way on my system.[/quote] That is surprising. I tried this on 2018.5 just now, not sure what version you're on.

[quote user="pantau"]even though in media creation mxf is selected[/quote] I just ran a quick test. Indeed, if you have OMF media in your sequence and you consolidate the sequence , the resulting consolidated clips are OMF, even when the project's Media Creation settings are set to MXF. That said, if you take a Master Clip that is in OMF

[quote user="DonE"]When you QT SAS export a sequence you will have a mov with all the different codecs used in your sequence.[/quote]No, it will choosed one, and re-encode whatever is not in that codec flavor. [quote user="DonE"]I think only when Avid shows "Fast Importing.." is it a rewrap.[/quote] True.

I don’t know about Compressor, but any other encoding app I have used seemed to correctly identify channel order in the QT file. Since it is in the QT’s metadata, it should work correctly. Also, my DCP software lets me route each channel, so I could even re-arrange if needed, but I have never had to. Not when feeding it QT files with SMPTE

U[quote user="pantau"] [quote user="Job ter Burg"] A Same As Source Export would do that. [/quote] In the export dialog, only OMF shows up as options (even though in media creation mxf is selected)... [/quote] that’s not right. I am talking about a Same as Source Quicktime exports. There wouls be no OMF or MXF anywhere in the
