I'm supporting a customer who has current Avid support.  We're upgrading a suite to a more powerful PC.

I successfully deactivated Avid SW license on the old PC, but are not managing to re-activate on the new PC.

I'm using latest version of Avid Link, are logged, when I go to products \ Media Composer \ License, I see a list of all the system IDs relating to the account, but the license status on all of them is 'syncing' and never goes any further.

Mariana - can you help me? 

 

Kind regards, and thanks in advance for any advice.

Media Composer Timeline Clip Notes - Source Clip Columns

$

0

The Timeline Clip Notes tool could be massively improved with the ability to add any source bin columns (eg Tape) to the list of notes. Also useful would be addtional note columns so two separate entries per clip could be made and exported to a spreadsheet.

Media Composer VFX Frame Count Generator

0

Frame count generator that counts only the frame of a clip in the timeline with offset available.

Common usage would be for VFX shots where the first frame could be set to 1009 and would count up until the end of the clip.

Currently only frame counts for the entire sequence or for a source clip is possible.

Currently timeline clip notes are removed when deleting an effect from a clip. Not sure how this is useful to anyone in any situation. They should only be able to be removed from the Timeline Clip Notes Tool.


Urgent - 2021.3.0 Crashes Upon Selecting Project

Hello,

 

I upgraded to 2021.3.0 yesterday and all was working great, but then today I was cruising through the settings and when i double clicked on the email setting, the system immediately crashed. 

From that point on, when i launch avid, I get to the project selection window, and if I create a new project or go into an existing one, or if i create a new user, avid crashes while the status bar is displaying Reading "[myusername] settings".

I've tried just about everything i can think of... deleting my settings entirely, deleting MCstate and I can't seem to get avid to launch any project or create a new user... HELP!!!! :)

I'm using OS 10.14.6

Advanced grouping available?

Hi there, longtime user/first time poster.

 

I've been using Media Composer for several years now.  I'm an Assistant Editor in the Reality/broadcast realm, and I've been syncing and grouping multiple hours of television footage for years now.  I have to admit I was one of those ones that was hesitant to accept the new version of Media Composer (2019 and above) at first.  After downloading it and figuring out the intricacies of how the new UI operates, over time I've grown to love it.  I do have one gripe though.  The new way the machine does multigroups, albeit easier, leaves legacy things that I still long for.  Such as seeing your add edits within the final group in the timeline, and any missing video tracks as well.  Also, on the mac version at least, sometimes I'll group a sequence and It'll randomly mute an individual's external audio mic, seemingly for no reason.  Is this a known bug that's being worked on?  I find myself regrouping the scene back in Media Composer 7, thank goodness I still have a version of that. Are we also relegated to just this new way of creating multigroups or is there also a plan to add in the functionality of grouping them manually as in the past? I haven't tried doing that in this new version for lack of time and need for trusted precision.

Best,

Mike

I can't launch Avid MC 2019.12.4

Hello,

I've just bought a month to month subcription of Avid MC. I originally had Avid MCv8 installed on my PC Laptop (windows 10) and have uninstalled it and now downloaded Avid MC 2019.12.4 (I don't want to use version 2021 just yet)

When I try to launch Avid MC 2019.12.4 it takes me to the Avid Media Composer Activation launcher (attached thumb of this) and I choose to 'Activate with Avid Link' > press continue and then when Avid link opens it says my license is activated. 

So if my license is Activated then I'm stuck on why the software isn't launching.

Can anyone help me?  

Thanks

Does anyone know why this occasionally happens? Every now and then after some time, my default Statistics bin view gets messed up and the End and Start columns get reversed. I deleted all the Avid settings but that didn't fix it. Why does this happen??

NEXIS Client 19.12.0.5 not seeing Storage on Catalina

Hi,

Saw that NEXIS client 2019.12 added Mac OS Catalina support and decided to test it on one of our new 16" MacBook Pros. After a clean install of the client, the NEXIS client opens fine, but is not showing any of our NEXIS storage solutions. I've confirmed that the remote hosts settings match our Mojave systems.

 

I also checked the Security Preferences in the MacOS System Preferences and I'm not seeing any KEXTs that need approaval. Any thoughts?

Sibelius 7 activation error: total device count exceeded

$

Hello,

I purchased Sibelius 7 back in 2015, installed it on an older computer that was too slow and did not have enough space to use it, so I never got started with the software.

Since then, that old computer (I think it was Windows XP) is now completely out of commission.  I decided to try using the software this past summer and installed it on a laptop successfully, and activated.  I recently got a 2nd laptop that is much faster and I am dedicating this 2nd laptop to composing and music production.  However when I try to activate my 2nd installation (allowed per license agreement), it is not activating, giving me an error that the total device count is exceeded.

When I call the AVID support phone number, it requires I enter my system ID, and then gives me no support.

Can someone please help me resolve this issue?  Thank you!

Is it possible to offline in Avid MC and conform/online in Premiere Pro?

I am an offline editor and I'm soon to be working with an online post house which works entirely with Premiere Pro.

 

I'm not very familiar with the latest version of Premiere, but before I bite the bullet and start learning, I thought it worth asking if anyone here has experience offlining in Avid and then onlining in Premiere.

 

If the idea alone induces headaches, then I know what I'm upto for the next fortnight....

Recommended way to work with Alpha Channel Clips in Media Composer 2020

$
0
0

I'm wondering what the recommended way to work with Alpha Channel clips is with Media Composer 2020 (beta and beyond), now that it appears we no longer have support for QuickTime ProRes 4444 which was the previous method I used to get lower thirds, etc with alpha channels into Media Composer from After Effects. 

Can we somehow export a DNxHR with alpha as a MXF file? It would be wonderful if this option could be consolidated/transcoded into a native media composer MXF file so I don't need to worry about a handful of external files with alpha channels when moving and archiving projects. It would also be nice if the performance of alpha channel media was improved, but perhaps that's asking too much ha ha. 

Thanks!

Fast import of DNxHR files no longer available

$

One odd thing I noticed since jumping from 2020.6 to 2020.10 - files that always I rendered out of After Effects with Avid DNxHR codecs now suddenly no longer comes into Media Composer as fast imports. My import and render settings has remained unchanged since I installed 2020.10, and this used to work perfectly in previous versions of MC as fast imports.

Has anything changed in 2020.10 that I missed?

Eg. I export a composition out of After Effects with DNxHR HQ 8-bit selected in the codec settings.

When this file is imported into Media Composer, it asks whether I want to preserve the original format (DNxHR HQ) or use the project format (DNxHR LB).

It doesn't which of the above options I select, my file still comes in as a long/standard render.

Any ideas?
