Hey all, I'm setting up an Avid project for the first time and am a little confused on best practices for brining in dailies. We have synced 422LT transcodes from the field, which I've consolidated into Avid in folders for each day. Unfortunately the dailies are not named, so I'll need to...

Hi! I'm not quite sure where this belongs, but I created a few command-line python scripts that might be useful to some.

I am getting ready to set up a project that will be working with XDCAM HD 50Mbit footage and I was wondering if there is any reason to make proxies or if it will be fine to work with the HD footage.

I realized that since the 2019 version and on the 2020 and 2021 versions of Media Composer, the "Batch re-import" function no longer works. The message: "Imported 0 of 1 clips. See console for more information." So I've attached a screenshot of the console (and the Batch re-import...

Hello everybody, when I import my synced AAF (from Plural Eyes 3), MC re-imports all the master clips of the sequence. How can avoid it ?
