Hi Björn, my findings according to avoid banding while converting from 10bit to 8bit codecs are: - mixdown in DNxHD 185X (with 10bit timelineview enabeled) an then export to for example MXF OP1a XDCAM 422 (which is 8Bit) - render all your effects or a dummy-effect with media creation settings: DNxHD 185X, 16bit effects prpcessing and then export

I can confirm this bug. I encountered it occasionally also since log time ago. Now I am on MC 2018.2. Best Regards Florian

hi, there are a lot of free and good working subtitle converters and editors you can find on the internet. I have used subtitle edit (https://www.videohelp.com/software/Subtitle-Edit) sometimes and it worked good. regards florian

Hi, in my experience the downconversion of 4k/UHD to HD in Avid MC is noticeable softer than in other apps like Resolve etc.. Avid should optimise that scaling algorithm! Regards Flo

I would use: Output - AMA File Export... There you can select MXF OP1a and DNxHR HQX. For audio use direct out but you have to check how many tracks you can do. I think 8 or 16. Regards Flo

Did you consolidate your sequence or the source clips? You can check if you got all stuff together by temporarily renaming your Avid MediaFiles folders on your orginal HDDs. If they are renamed Avid MC won't see them and so you can check if you have all your media is still online and on the new drive.

hi you have to do it in two steps: First transcode all linked media (you can select that in the transcode settings tab) and then consolidate all to the drive you want to store the project. When transcoding be aware of the framerate and the rastersize of your source footage. I would suggest you select source raster dimension and keep source's framerate

Check the console. Type: "HDTitleFilter" and be sure that it is disabled. Regards Florian

We are using MC 8.8.5 with a Quadro FX4800 and the Nvidia driver 340.84 and it works pretty well. Regards

I also noticed that behaviour in MC 8.8.5 and I also have no exact way to reproduce the bug it happens occasionally. Closing and opening the bin with the sequence solves the problem for me. regards Florian
