Limitations

The following limitations apply to the current version of the editing application.

AMA

➤ Bug Number: . Since a given file type may be supported by multiple AMA plug-ins, for best

results choose a specific AMA plug-in rather than Autodetect when performing an AMA Link to

File. When performing an AMA Link to a volume, Autodetect will normally select the correct

plug-in, but if it doesn't, choose a specific AMA plug-in and perform the AMA Link to volume

again.

➤ Bug Number: UDevC00182286. When performing an AMA link to MXF media, you should

not select the Autodetect plug-in option. Choose the applicable plug-in to perform the AMA

Link to File.

➤ Bug Number: UDevC00179996. If you load an AMA-linked clip into a monitor, then enable

Dynamic Relink and set the Preferred media format in the Dynamic Relink Settings dialog box

to “Any native media,” the media displays as offline. This is as designed. If there is no native

MXF or OMF media to display, the AMA-linked clips only display when you select AMA as the

preferred media format.

➤ Bug Number: UDevC00178140, UDevC00180089. If you are AMA linking BlackMagic

Cinema Camera DNxHD movies, these files link as Matte Key effects rather than master clips.

Therefore these files cannot be transcoded. To workaround this, open Import Settings, and in the

Image tab set Alpha Channel to Ignore.

AMA (QuickTime) AMA is a processor intensive

operation. Lower end platforms

may not offer optimum

performance. Highly compressed

codecs such as H.264 will exhibit

minimal real-time performance.

Recommendation of qualified systems

depends on your planned use of this

feature. Heavy usage of highly

compressed codecs requires the high end

systems. (Dual 6 Core or Dual 8 Core

systems)

AVCI-Intra AVC-Intra(AVC-I) is a high

quality, low bit-rate HD codec and

is very CPU intensive.
