Open Resolve.
(we're using version 12.5) |  |
| Click the New Project button |  |
Name your project.
(Hint: whatever name you use here, Avid will recognize in the media tool later. Some editors name it the same as their Avid project name to simplify matters.) |  |
| Double click on the project icon. |  |
| Navigate to your 4K clips from your A7Sii, that you copied to your hard drive or share. |  |
Select all the clips you want to transcode into Avid media. (This is usually all the clips) |  |
Either right click and choose "Add into Media Pool" or drag the clips into the media pool |  |
| Click the EDIT button at the bottom of the interface. |  |
| Press Command + N to make a new timeline. |  |
Uncheck "Empty Timeline" This will make a timeline with all of your clips from the media pool. Click "Create" |  |
| Click the "Deliver" button at the bottom of the interface. |  |
| Choose AVID AAF from the render settings. You may have to scroll to the right to find it. |  |
Browse to a location you want your MXF files to live in.
|  |
To make it easy on yourself, you'll want to browse to a location that AVID will immediately understand. For example, if you're media is on an external drive browse to: YOUR_DRIVE/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1 BUT If you're on editshare... | |
...or ISIS, then you need to know the computer name of the computer your working on under System Preferences>Sharing The name of my computer in this example is COMM858903 |  |
then you'll browse to YOUR_SHARE/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/THE_NAME_OF_YOUR_COMPUTER in the pic above that would be: YOUR_SHARE/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/COMM858903 or it might be YOUR_SHARE/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/COMM858903.1 |  |
Choose a codec that best suits your needs. If you want to finish in AVID and want 4K choose a DNxHR format. |  |
| Choose to render at source resolution |  |
| Click Add to Render Queue |  |
| In the upper right of the interface, you should see the job added. |  |
| Click "Start Render" | |
Get some coffee. You may want to open an empty Word document to keep the computer from logging off if you plan on walking away for a while. |  |
| Hopefully when you come back, Resolve looks like this. |  |
Close Resolve, Save if you plan on finishing in Resolve (but honestly, that's another wiki) | |
Open Avid. (we're on Media Comoser 8.6 in this wiki) | |
If you name your Avid Project the same as your Resolve Project, media management will be easier for you. Choose UHD 23.976 Click OK and click OK to open the project. |  |
