UM:Avid Work Flows
Digital Vision products include extensive support for interoperability with Avid products, including :
• | Avid Media Composer |
• | Avid Symphony |
• | Avid DS |
This chapter describes the main workflows available for Nucoda systems when working alongside an Avid.
Tested and qualified versions of Avid applications are listed in the Compatibility section, alongside a list of supported formats and effects. |
Process
The workflow process involves two or three steps, depending on your choice of workflow.
Step 1 : AAF to Nucoda
The first step is to transfer the AAF composition from the Avid :
• | Export an AAF composition from an Avid and import it into a Nucoda. |
Step 2
Grade and /or restore on the Nucoda. Finish on Nucoda and play out to server or tape
or
Step 3</br>
Export the source modified AAF from Nucoda and re-import into Avid, or export graded MXF files from Nucoda, and re-link them to a copy of the original sequence in Avid.
There are four main ways of transferring the material back to the Avid for finishing :
• | Sending an Edit Modified AAF back to the Avid. (Sources in the AAF are updated to point to new graded media) See : Edit modified AAF Back to Avid</br> |
Note that the Edit Modified AAF back to the Avid route is only available for Nucoda compositions originally created from imported AAF files. |
• | Sending only MXF media back to the Avid. See : MXF Back to Avid</br> |
• | Sending an AAF containing a record order sequence back to the Avid and optionally doing an Interplay check-in of the sequence and the new video media. See : Record AAF Back to Avid with Interplay</br> |
Note that the Record AAF back to the Avid route is only available for Nucoda compositions originally created from imported AAF files. |
• | Sending an Record order AAF back to the Avid for use in MC or manual check in into Interplay. See : Nucoda Exports Record Order AAF</br> |
