Hi All,
We are using the new AMT v3 SDK to create DNxHD files, and we found some isses and have some questions:

• - Seems to be the new Avid SDK writes a different PictureCompression UL in the CDCI for DNxHD than the older SDK. Is it possible to write the same?
• - We cannot write film metadata with the new SDK. Is this true? I was able to do this in the v2 SDK.
• - Is it possible to add other metadata, like Scene, Take info into the rendered MXF files?

Thanks,

Gyula 

Hi,

We're having the same problems with adding metadata to MXF and AAF files with AMT v3 - see recent posts here:

we haven't heard anything back yet on the above posts.

We never used the older Avid SDK so can't help you out with that question on the different PictureCompression UL

Hello and sorry for the long delay. Regarding the ability to set custom metadata (TaggedValues), this is currently being worked on and we expect to have support available with the next AMT3 release, 3.12.

At this point I don't think there is a way of reverting back to the legacy compression labels for writing (which are still supported for reading) but will double check to be 100% sure.

Hello,

Thanks for the update. So, I will be able to add the Scene,Take and Keycode info with this custom metadata feature, right?

Thanks for checking the possibility to use legacy compressions labels.

Thanks,

Gyula

Hello,

We integrated the latest Avid SDK and we can embed the metadata we need with TaggedValues

I still have some questions about some specific metadata, but I will post it into a different thread.

Thank you for your help,

Gyula
