I'm using MC 6.5.4 on Win7. Project is 1080p/23.976. Source files were Canon MXF and AMA linked via link AMA volume and then transcoded to DNxHD 115. The main recording is a nearly 2 hours long and spanned across many files. Since this was an AMA volume link, Avid put the spanned files together into...

Hi! I'm working on my first ever project on Avid (:D) and I was just wondering - what is the difference between linking to AMA Volume and linking to AMA file? I know they have to be different, but they seem to do the same thing. Sorry if this is a really dumb question - I'm a total newbie. I...

I have Media Composer v6, and with it you should be able to link to AMA volume of Red One files. I have done this before without a problem. When I attempt to do it now, nothing happens.

Hello, I am not able to link to AMA Volume or importing files. I have the right plugins and my mac is OS X 10.8.2 (12C60) which should be good enough . Really cannot figure this out. I have a midterm this week with this software and it isn't working. Anybody know a solution to this problem? Thanks...

I am trying to do something on my Avid at home that I do every day at work. I choose "File > Link to AMA Volume" then browse to the folder directly above a BPAV folder (for instance I'd be pointing at the folder "Concert Footage 082712" in the path "C:\RAW FOOTAGE\Concert...

Hi all, Upgraded to MC 5.5 and W7 a while back with success and now working with a new camera. This is our media workflow with a JVC GY-HM700: 1) Dump entire contents of SD card to initial library on Raid Disk into descriptive folder 2) Open MC and desired project. 3) File>>Link to AMA Volume and...

Hi. I'm editing a documentary shot with ex1r. I'm using only AMA and haven't transcoded anything. The problem is that every now and then I have to switch computer and when I open the project all media is offline. I get it online again by link to AMA volume. Is there anyway to get MC5 to automatically...
