Moving from PT to Nuendo 13.
There is, like many remarked here, the following issue: Relinking location audio after an AAF-import is a crucial feature for film post-production.
Nuendo lets you filter matching recordings by scene and take, which is nice, but NOT by timecode, which should be the obvious way! (Origin time is NOT time code and thus a useless criterium)
When you spread the matching location audio on sub-tracks, the audio is cut to length and positioned next to the AAF audio, but not aligned via timecode, which has you manually syncing thousands of audio files, an amount of work nobody can handle within reasonable time.
PT does this effortlessly.
Am I missing something or is this, for some demented reason or another, not a feature in a software that considers itself an industry grade post-production-tool?
It’s like a Ferrari without a steering wheel, come on!
No; This is a long standing request.
The problem seems to be reading the timecode within the AAF file. It doesn’t seem to be an easy task.
But it is (very) high on the request-list.
The way I work around it is assembling audio with Ediload.
That way I am 100% sure I work on the original files and that the location sound is 100% sync. (Some NLE’s snap the audio to the nearest frame …)
Working that way, the names aren’t screwed up by the NLE editor & Field Recorder Import is extremely fast and easy.
