Monkey Extract Bug Report!

[gbalaji]

After offline edit we've taken CMX 3600 EDL and try to render 4k DPX Log of our edit cuts. Two of Seven Camera footage's are not rendering out. Attached the Screen shot of the Error, EDL and Monkey Database file for reference. Another song only Two Camera footage's are rendering out and Other Five cameras are not rendering.

Expect a speedy support. Need to give the post house for DI in 3 days.

Hi gbalaji, I've emailed Craig to see if he can help. You might find it quicker to email him directly if you need support as there is no guarantee that we will see a forum post...

In the meantime, have you tried time of day and edgecode for the extract?

UPDATE...

For anyone watching, the problem was shots that used time of day timecode, and started before midnight but ended the next day. My understanding is that redline doesn't accept the timecodes, the solution was to pass in frame numbers.

Hey Nigel,

We found another similar problem. Bringing in an EDL from an Avid Adrenaline 24p project created a 30-frame EDL (both record/source tcs). Monkey Extract skipped any shots that had tc with a frame # higher than 23.

Why did you make a 30 frame EDL? EDL manager allows all conversions to be made to reflect HD and SD down conversions, etc. You need to make sure the source/record metadata fields reflect the proper rates.
