Avid to Resolve – “Timecode extents doesn’t match”

Avid to Resolve – “Timecode extents doesn’t match”

Hi there,

Working on nailing down the workflow for going from MC to Resolve and back. I've got a tapeless job that has been transcoded to MXF for editing speed. I export an .AAF from MC, consolidating the media to a new drive and linking to those new files in the .AAF

Going into Resolve, the AAF is imported, but for almost every clip, the error message appearss:

"The clip "" can't be linkg to the media file "(mxf file name goes here)" because the timecode extents doesn't match.

I've tried a slew of configuration options both in creating the .AAF as well as adjusting Resolve settings, trying to get something to work. I've scoured the internet, and have found others with this same issue, but have not found any resolution.

Anyone have any thoughts?

For what it's worth, I can see all of the clips in the master timeline scroll bar at the bottom of the conform window, but only a couple of the clips show up in the track layer window (I'd say about 3 out of 100 in my test file).

Is it an Avid setting I'm missing, or a Resolve issue?

Thanks for any input.
