You likely export to something like MP4 from Media Composer? If so, many software players won't play back h264 video with PCM audio in an mp4 container (even though MC will allow you to export is that way). Either use AAC upon export, or use the MOV container to export h264 with PCM audio.

Remove Pan/Vol Automation doesn't do that? And when do hidden keyframes occur? Pardon my ignorance.

PT only does that when you add clip level and/or render destructive clip effects. It won't take any inserts, volume automation, buses or masters into account. Just sayin'.

[quote user="Bruno M"]If you made export presets in MC with the correct frame rates, you wouldn't need to check your settings for every export.[/quote]But it does require you to create presets for every frame rate you may work in. How many times do you really need a frame rate conversion upon export? I wish there was a "Project Rate"

Have been asking about this for years. It's quite silly.

That's a known issue on 2022.12.4 on Mac, unfortunately. Rolling back to 2022.12.3 solves it. https://community.avid.com/forums/p/209076/932848.aspx#932848 https://community.avid.com/forums/t/208915.aspx

Or install Apple's Pro Video Formats, so QT X player will let you play DNx files. https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2100?locale=en_US

You send across bins with sequences. Or you get something like Sohonet to actually share the project in the cloud. Or you use something like Jump Desktop to remotely access systems that are at some place, which are connected to shared storage.

➤ Bug Number: MCCET-3702. Image Quality issues when adding UHD progressive clips to an HD interlace sequence: The process Media Composer uses to mix and match video formats in a sequence is to transform the source clip's frame rate and frame layout to meet the project specifications; the motion adapters are added first, then spatial adapters are

I think this is an old issue, where the scaling is being done to the entire frame, rather than to the individual fields. Heard that one before some years ago. Forgot what the workaround was.
