If you wish to have a timewarp change the speed of a clip from one speed to another during the clip, you need to set keyframes in the Motion Effect tool. The documentation can help explain this. Jef

It is sort of a dead issue. Due to the long running issue of not supporting ProRes when doing an AAF Copy Complete File I had to take a different route. To me this is another issue of Avid not keeping a feature up to date. I can consolidate ProRes media but not copy it??? That makes no sense at all. In this age of remote work, the need to copy complete

I may have to. I really wanted to just copy all, full length clips from the main system to a new drive to start finishing. This is because of the potential for necessary changes. Just tested the issue on 2021.12.7 (last version which will run on Mojave - the OS of the main system) and the issue persists. Really baffling considering that ProRes media

Ah, the dreaded: "AAF export involving ProRes media using any method other than "Link To" is not allowed!" I know this is true in 2018.xxxx. Did it ever get fixed in later versions? Trying to make duplicate media of JUST a sequence from a big project. Jef

Does anyone know of a tool that will let you calculate the size of an AAF where you have chosen copy file rather than trim? I am trying to plan for the size of storage needed. Jef

My first thought would be to use Resolve to make "dailies" where you do your anonymizing. The workflow for making Resolve dailies for Avid is pretty well documented and reliable. Jef

I would recommend getting MDVx. It can help you inspect and manage Avid media. It is mac only. Jef

[quote user="Bobbins"]When colour grading these files in da vinci they look how I want them to look and how I have graded them, then I generate them as 33 point luts and import them into avid[/quote] This is confusing to me. Are you trying to import a LUT into Avid and use that on top of the ungraded material? That is not really the best way

I second the suggestion to investigate the Insert Edit function. I would also be curious to know what the ultimate end use of this project is? Jef
