FFAStrans forum

Hi all,
I have another question :
I am trying to use FFASTRANS to convert media and embed it in Avid Media Composer.
With a video file (like Mov or Mp4), it works like a charm, I use the XDCAM_HD processor with the create Avid Structure and it's perfect. Thanks a lot for the job.

But unfortunately, I cannot integrate Wav files (just audio) into this process. This systematically generates an associated video track in Avid and it takes time and space for nothing.
Is there a solution to convert a Wav and have it in an Avid structure as well?
My current workflow is Audio extraction -> XDCAM_HD -> Folder
I haven't seen any other processor to create an avid structure

to be clear, when i import in AVID my Wav file, it generate 5 mxf audio files (7992Ko each)
When i use it with my ffastrans Worflow, i have my 5 mxf file too but also a black video file (336 Mo).

I think it's the XDCAMHD processor that generate this video file but i don't know how to disable that in this processor
thanks for help

Hey,

a simple commandline like that will do, but i dont have yet the time to workout the details. e.g. the full path to raw2bmx:

raw2bmx -t avid --project "AVID_PROJECT" --clip "AVID_CLIP" --tape "AVID_TAPE" -o "c:\temp\out" --wave "%s_source%"

Hello Manjik,

I just complete the @Encodem answer (but he did the most important).
Download raw2bmx here : https://sourceforge.net/projects/bmxlib/
drop it into FFAStrans folder into \Processors\mxf_tools\

Create an command executor node then write into it :
%comspec% /C "C:\FFAStrans\FFAStrans1.0.0\Processors\mxf_tools\raw2bmx.exe -t avid --project "AVID_PROJECT" --clip "AVID_CLIP" --tape "AVID_TAPE" -o "c:\temp\%s_original_name%" --wave "%s_source%""

Just change your destination path if you want ->"c:\temp\" to whatever you want
Your audio atom files will have original file name _a1 _a2 etc.

Cheers.
