➤ Batch Import of files containing Alpha. This problem occurs if you want to batch import

files in SD and HD formats and then use Dynamic Relink to switch between the different

formats. The problem occurs with QuickTime movies, graphics, and sequences that contain

alpha. You can batch import the files and relink to the different formats, but if you exit and

then restart the Avid editing application you can no longer relink to the HD format. The

system displays an “Exception: NO Compressed Data Format found” error message.

Workaround: You cannot use Dynamic Relink with HD and SD clips that contain alpha.

Import the HD files with alpha as individual clips. When you want to switch to HD format,

edit the HD versions into your sequence.

➤ If you import a graphic from your local drive into a project in an Avid editing application,

change the original name of the clip to a name of your choice, and check that clip into a

folder in the Interplay Window, the new name does not appear in the Interplay Window even

when you refresh the window. You see only the original name.

➤ When you import a clip onto local storage into a local bin and then delete the clip’s media,

you continue to see the clip in the Avid editing application Source monitor instead of the

message “Media Offline.” If you try to play the clip, an error message box opens.

Workaround: Open another clip in the Source monitor, and then reopen the clip with the

deleted media to correctly see the “Media Offline” message.

➤ When you incorporate clips and subclips that include locators added in Interplay Assist into

a story in Instinct, the locators do not appear in the story. If you open the same story

(sequence) in an Avid editing application, the locators do not appear there, either.

➤ In the Avid editing application, the Record Track monitor buttons might be deselected if the

following happens:

1. On System 1, you create a sequence and check it into a folder in the Interplay Window.

2. On System2, you check out the sequence and load it into the Timeline.

3. On system1, you edit the sequence and check it into the Interplay folder again.

4. On system2, you refresh the Interplay window then check out the same sequence again.

Workaround: Select the Record Track buttons again.

➤ In an Avid editing application, if you have a sequence that you have not checked into the

Interplay Window and you try to use the Transfer > Send to Workgroup command, you

might experience an error.
