I've exported an AAF to ProTools just for testing ("Include Inactive Audio Tracks" option is enabled), and my sound guy has no issues with this workflow. Finally, I Consolidate the AMA Linked master clips and work with MXF Avid MediaFiles moving forward.And what's best, the master clip displays all the channel metadata entered by the sound recordist properly in the Bin. That way, I don't end up with one master clip per channel (just one master clip per take, with all the tracks). I AMA Link the Mono files into avid activating the option "Autodetect Broadcast Wave Monophonic Groups".

I split the Poly BWF into Mono files, using WaveAgent (which is free and preserves all the original metadata).So here is my workaround, in case it's useful for anybody else: I'm specifically choosing the built-in WaveAIFF plug-in in the Link to Media window. According to Marianna, this should work, so I don't know what the problem is. If I use AMA Link instead, I don't get channel metadata either.If I Import a poly BWF file, I get no channel metadata.I'm having the same issue with Poly BWF originated in a Nagra VI recorder: you have an actual single mutichannel clip inside Media Composer (which allows for easier syncing and matchframing)
#AVID MAC CORE AUDIO PRO#
you have the actual metadata for each track, even at file level, which will transfer to Pro ToolsĢ. This should now relink these multitrack clips to the individuale monophonic imports.ġ. Select the clips generated by the ALE, choose Clip->Relink.

Import the ALE from the sound dept, set the Shot Log options to "Maintain Events As Logged". You will now see that the individual tracks all have their own track descriptors, and if you were to export them to ProTools you would find that this metadata is actually baked into the actual Avid mediafile(s). import the individual mono's WITHOUT using the "autodetect BWF groups" (or something like that if you DO use that option, only the metadata for channel 1 is used for the clip). ask the sound dept for BWF-M's, and ask them to provide you with an accompanying ALE files And indeed, Avid MC does not support iXML through File->Import (they do over AMA, but that is a dangerous method!).īummer, and a darn shame that Avid and Aaton never worked this out properly. They might be listed in some header for the entire multichannel clip, but that's not useful. The thing is, if you import poly's, the track descriptors are not baked into the independent files. I am just left wondering if anyone has had the same problem and found a better solution? I thougt for a moment that it might have something to do with Avid only reading the BEXT data in the file.Īs it is now i am loading the poly files into Wave Agent where the track names show up as they should, i then split the poly file and combine it again, then import it to Avid. I then proceeded to do the usual google'ing, but to no avail, i could tell other people have had the same issue, but i couldn't find a solution to the problem. But for some reason the files he has delivered so far imports fine except the track names for track 2-7 are non existing, there are no columns for them, even if a load them into a bin with a bin view with several tracks showing. We are doing post on a feature, where the sound guy is recording on an Aaton Cantar, he is delivering Poly files, which is usually fine, I have imported plenty of poly audio files into the Avid without issues. I know this might not be a suitable question for an Avid forum, since it might not be an Avid issue, but i am slowly creeping towards insanity on this one.
