We're trying to AMA-link this material, but can't. Tried Media Composer 2018, 2021 and 2022.12. Tried Nablets Arri-raw plugin, tried Mediareactor. It always ends up with not being able to link it. What could be wrong?

Camera being new, maybe.

Do you have any footage to try out?

P.S. This is Prores so it should link.

In your media drive, create a sub-folder labeled "UME" in Avid MediaFiles folder. Place the MXF OP-1a file in there. Start Avid and use the Media Tool to scan the drive. Does your media appear?

No, nothing happened when I did that.

Here's the smallest file of the bunch we're trying to get in there, if you can find a way to get it into avid, do tell!

The Arri 35 is a new-ish camera, and Avid has always had a problem with bringing in ArriRAW.

The latest version of the Nablet plugin (v3.1) now supports this format. See this link...

Alternatively, you could always install the latest version of Resolve and use this to ingest the material and export Avid-friendly (OP Atom) media.

The MediaInfo screenshot indicates that it is ProRes 4444 XQ file. This is not surprising since that is alternative to shooting ArriRAW with Arri cams.

Are you linking to the individual MXF files or the camera card folder? In Avid, make sure you are selecting the Nablet Arri plugin.

It works fine here with the plugin. Unfortunatelly is a paid one.

Have you tried the plugin?

Do not auto link but select the plugin as by the pic.

Hope that helps/

Linking to individual files. How do I select a plugin? In source browser it just shows "can't be linked" under plugin, I don't know how I get to choose.

That's the plugin I tried, although it's on trial mode. I don't know how to select a plugin, and I can't see your picture.

I found it, right-clicking the files and selecting "Link with"... I thought the choice button/field would be clearly visible on the source browser panel somewhere, but it wasn't. Oh well, problem solved! Now I just need to buy a Nablet license.

Now I just need to buy a Nablet license

If you don't want to pay for the licence (and can live with the Nablet logo) you can edit with proxy media and then AAF over to Davinci Resolve, where you can link and colour grade with the original media.
