Using an AAF Encoder Flip Action to Automatically Create a
Master Asset
An AAF Encoder can auto-generate a master asset and associated Master MOB-ID by
leaving the Master MOB-ID and Source MOB-ID fields blank (see Interplay Container
Configuration). When this method is used the Master MOB-ID cannot be passed to any
downstream action until the AAF Encoder action's processing in complete.
By using an Identify action following the first AAF Encoder Flip action you can extract
and assign the Master MOB ID a variable, and pass it to one or more (often parallel) AAF
Encoder actions or any other action that requires the MOB-ID.
The benefit of this method is that Edit While Ingest / Frame Chase editing can be
performed on the media encoded in the first AAF Encoder action. After the first AAF
Encoder action is complete, you can generate additional media in parallel by using the
Master MOB-ID passed to it via variable. The disadvantage of this method is that other
resolutions required for this asset can only be created after the first AAF Encoder action
finishes. However all subsequent actions can be executed in parallel.
If Edit While Ingest / Frame Chase editing is a requirement implement your workflow
using this method.
See Example Workflows for details.
