I have captured a sequence with picture and sound from DVCam tape.  I can see the video, and the VU meter shows good audio, but I cannot hear the sound either through the computer speakers or headphones.  Then I ceate a sequence with both video and sound, save it, and still cannot hear sound.  I quit Media Composer, re-launch, and then I can hear sound from that seuence with no other changes. This has happened in the last 3 times I have captured from DVCam. Can someone tell me what is going on, and how can I solve it?

I am working on an iMac with MC Ultimate 20.4.0.55005, .

Thanks,

marluc

Hi,

Where is Marquee in Avid MC First 20.5 PC?

Hi all,

We've got some a new season of a projcect currently cutting on Avid 2019.12 under High Sierra 10.13.16 that is trying to access graphics that were imported orignally on an Avid 2018 bay as DNxHRLB. When attempting to load the grpahics from the bin into the monitor, we get the following error:

MonPane::SetComposition(): Internal error occurred trying to load composition into the monitor. See console for more information.

This error occurs in Avid 2019.12 onwards (I tested a few of our Catalina bays on the betas of 2020 and get the same error). 

However, this error does not occur on a bay running 2019.11. 

Anyone have any thoughts? Console log below:

I did and two camera interview with a canon c 200 and a canon r.  I have done this before no problem but I am now having an issue in the source monitor of the second camera being slow to playback and the audio not in sync.  Not sure if i inadveretenly changed a setting but do not think so.

Hi all

I'm ingesting an ALE and getting the following error;

An error occured on event #1

Exception: BIN_IMPORT_NO_START error

Anyone, any ideas...?? 🤷‍♂️

Any help appreciated

I'd like to uninstall MC First and instead install the 30-day trial of Media Composer. I did proper install of the trial version, I see Media Composer | Ultimate Trial in My Avid/My Products but not in Avid Link.

We continue to have problems with our system and font interfaces changing. This is small but important to days spent editing with crazy fonts that change randomly. We know how to set them it's just getting them to stay that way. Avid support requested we dump all but standard fonts. That's not a solution. Their interface software should stick!!!

Any better work arounds??

I often lasso clips in the Timeline. It puts me in Segment mode and I can move those clips.

With 2018 and before, I could have the yellow and the red mode (pre)activated in the Segment Tool selector on the Timeline, and so after lassoing a bunch of clips, I could decide if I wanted the red arrow or the yellow arrow by aiming at the top of the bottom of a selected clip in the Timeline (hard to explain with text, I know!).

With 2019, when I lasso clips, it just defaults to Red arrow mode. I added the arrow selector above the Timeline, and if I put it in Yellow or Red/Yellow mode before lassoing the clips, I always end up with selected clips in Red arrow mode. It's slightly annoying.

I mapped the Arrow modes to the keyboard, so I can hit Yellow once the clips are lassoed, and this way I'm back to the "old" behaviour I'm used to: chose an arrow mode by clicking on the top or bottom of one of the selected clips as I drag them. I'd love not to have to add the extra key press though.

Hi,

I have some crawling titels and all seems ok. But when I export the sequence the crawling titels do not apear in the export. 

I am on Mac with AVID 2020.4.0

Is this a bug??? If yes, then very anoying.... Any work arounds?

Thanks

Had this intermittently over a number of versions, sometimes calling up a difffernt workspace will fix it, or going to a different plug-in location and back to the no-show. Mostly have to quit and restart app. 

Sometimes just coming to write a post on this forum then going back is enough to fix it... 

Also does anyone know how to reset the export default location - do I have to delete project state or similar? It's defaulting to the export location of a different project ATM

Hello everyone,

I'm just looking for advices, I need a new machine for media composer and unfortunately I'm forced on a Mac system. 
I need a system that can handle transcode , exports, syncing, multicam (1080p files mostly dnxhd36).

I will do some light editing as well on small projects.

i was thinking about the Mac mini with the i7, for media composer is that bad not having a discrete gpu?

As far as I know most of media composer activities are handle by the cpu, and the 8th gen i7 is more than decent.

anyine has experience with the Mac mini?  

Hey folks, 

I did a quick search but didn't find the answer I was looking for.  Hopefully someone has a quick one for me.

I started a new job this week and part of my onboarding was a new MacBook Pro.  I'll be splitting my time on that and my home system which still has USB ports for the dongle.  Obviously, the MacBook does not.  Yes, I can use the adapter but it's clunky.  Third World problem I know, but the OCD makes me twitch.  Anyway, in the old days of software activation you had to call or otherwise transfer a licenses between two machines if you only had one license.  Is this still the case?  Do the automatically phone home and if one machine is working the other will not?  How is this handled now?

Thanks in advance, 

Dave

I m not sure but do I have to update my dongel with Avid Link / or directly from my account, before update MC 2019.12 to 2020.5 ???? 

Hi,

when I try to activate my licence (7.3) I have this "101 Activation Failed".

How my I correct it?

Thanks

Hi... I keep seeing these trade in your MC Perpetual license for MC Ultimate offers. I'm a lone wolf, not working in a group environment. Any one know why I should or shouldn't switch? The bot on the site couldn't understand the question.Thanks.

Hi,

is there any procedure to retrieve a list of users from Media Central UX?

Hi there,

I've been asked to edit a project for which 170 interviews (totalling more than 200 hours) were shot on a small camera that simultanesously recorded both 4K and 720p HD (H264, 8.79 Mbps) files.

The doc I've been asked to help with is destined for web broadcast only, I'm told, so the producer has suggested I use the small 720p files only... and not worry about the 4K files. This would make life much easier for me, because my old 2010 Mac Pro isn't up to 4K editing.

Is this the right plan, would people say? One of my worries is that someone might change his/her mind later, and want a 4K version.

I could get a new Mac Mini, that I think would allow me to work with 4K files, but unless the process of 'rezzing up' is a pretty straightforward one I'm afraid of getting in over my head (I'm not technically gifted). Fifteen years ago, when I worked at a big broadcasting corporation, the editor would simply pop in the Sony betacam tapes we'd shot, and Avid would select just the right clips, and bit by bit the whole item was up-rezzed. But I'm not sure it would be that easy for me, here in my home office.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Regards, Malcolm

I've had a problem on 2018.10 where I can't eject a media drive (once avid has quit) because macOS says an application is still using it. It seems that the process that is still using the drive is Avid Phonetic Indexer and it's usually red in the Activity Monitor. I can quit the process there and the drive ejects. But something is causing the phonetic indexer to get stuck. Is it suppsed to stop running when I quit avid? Could there be something that got corrupted in the phonetic index on that drive that is causing the problem? Looking for troubleshooting advice. For the record I have only used this particular drive with 2018.10 and no previous versions so this isn't necessarily a 2018.10 issue. I was running 2018.5 before this.

Anyone seeing " Range specified for Dup is outside range of component" error message caused by Continnum BCC transitions when exporting?

I've also been trying to figure out the new Export settings and getting weird error messages.  Trying to figure out the fastest way to export to Sorensen without QT Ref.  Anyone find anything good?

Thanks.
