For remote client monitoring we recommend using NDI Tools with Zoom for sharing as if it were a traditional client monitor. This is built into Media Composer and has the best user experience and will adapt well to any bandwidth constraints that may arise. The installation and setup instructions are below.

This is the basic process for creating a split track file for your mix. To simplify things it’s best to break it into three phases. This is to first add the timecode burn-in, second is to create the audio mixdown for all of the sound excluding the guide VO, then the same but for VO only then the third part is exporting the viewing file.

This is a basic guide on how to get your Avid Media Composer Project over to us for us to conform for final post.

This is a basic workflow or tips for ingesting media via DaVinci Resolve to be used externally in applications like Avid Media Composer. The goal of these steps isn’t to be the perfect workflow for all productions as we customise a lot of this for specific cameras and workflows but hopefully this will help any productions looking to manage their own media to do it in a way that should make the conform process more simple for us when the time comes for final post. If you need to talk to us about a specific project so we can create a more refined template please get in-touch.

If you are sending a finished programme to us for delivery from Media Composer and we are going to carry out any QC fixes please follow these steps.

Our current recommendation is to move all media management processes to Davinci Resolve, but if you are still ingesting any media these days with Avid Media Composer you should move to the DNxHR codecs. The beauty of this is that you can bring any frame rate in to any project and work natively throughout. We can then manage the mixed frame rate media appropriately for you in final post.

This is just a quick video tutorial for a cool way to keep your media more organised in Avid Media Composer when working locally off a drive.
