Unusual Trim Mode Crashes (5+ a day) with 8.8.3 & 8.8.4

Hi,

Long time Media Composer user and I haven't quite seen anything this perplexing. We've swapped systems, Blackmagic devices, upgraded to 8.8.4, even upgraded macOS to 10.11.6 and my editor is crashing constantly in Trim Mode. We have DNxHD 115 files in multicam clips (A/B only) streaming from a Nexus. My identically matched system doesn't crash and I arguably use Avid "harder" than he does, we're not pushing the system to the limit or anything. Random roller trims seem to cause him to crash. It'll crash when he previews things. And like I said, we've swapepd systems and it's still happening.

Has anyone experianced this before? We're desperate for solutions! Next I'm goin gto start downgrading .1 release by .1 release to see if it solves his issue.

I have crash logs I can email to someone if that helps.

Thanks!

Nate

AMA going Haywire, relinking, then not relinking, and

Hi

 

I'm having seriously terrifying issues with AMA at the moment.  I've got eight drives plugged into the PC running Avid.  I've AMA'd a sequence (and also done a lot of dropping in eye matching) now I'm trying to consolidate the sequence for the onlline to work from. 

 

But sometimes it crashes, others it said there is a corrupted file in one of the MediaFiles folders and suggested I deleted the .pmr file, so I did but then when I go back to my sequence half the stuff has come offline!  At other times it seemed like Avid was taking me to wrong moment in a clip when I Match Framed, as if it had got confused about the timecode or the naming. On top of that the original picture lock sequence which was DNX36 has now lost that LINK with the Avid Media, even though it's all there in the folder on the drive.

 

What do you do when everything gets so haywire like this?  It feels like 8 drives is too many but it's how the production company I'm working for have got the media.

 

Sorry for rant, any explanation about why stuff keeps going offline when it's still actually there would be helpful.

This combination is currently not working for me. I can mount workspaces but nothing can write to them (have tried in Finder, with MC and Premiere Pro CC).

 

Everything I've read seems to suggest this should be the right combintation - am I missing something?

Windows Resource Hog???? Tons of running processes with software not even loaded.

I don't recall a program quite as bad as this. I've seen a few in 40 years as a computer professional, but 10 running processes plus multiple instances of another? Even without MCF running, I get high cpu usage from all this bloat. I get that in a professional environment, people might dedicate a machine to do nothing but editing, but what about the rest of us? Here is the list of what I have found in just a casual quick check:

Avid Application Manager

Avid Application Manager Helper

Avid Editor DB Engine

Avid Editor DB Engine (again! the service?)

Avid Editor PSE

Avid Editor PSE (again!)

Avid Editor Transcode Status

Avid Editor Transcode Status (again! Editor Broker service?)

Avid HUB Service

Avid Transport Client

About 120MB of RAM taken up in the background  and 8-10% of my CPU when MCF isn't even running and I won't use it but a few times a year. On top of that, it launches multiple instances of "QtWebEngineProcess.exe". What are you using this last item for? What is the database engine, SQL? 

Can anyone tell me which of these things if any I can delete, or at least remove from startup? Any of the services that I can switch off and run as "manual"? I already have several database runtimes from Visual Studio and RAD Studio, do I need your database runtimes too? Do they have to run as services when I am not using them? Thank you.

migrating titles from one computer to another

Hi

I prepared titles with Title Tool on one computer in a dedicated project.

I copied all the MXF files that were created on that project to another computer and placed it in an empty folder within one of the MXF folders in Avid MediaFiles directory.

I imported to a new bin on the second computer the file msmMMOB.mdb from the directory where the titles were but not like other imports I did for other MXF media, in that case nothing was presented and I did not have the titles presented on the bin.

Could one help me why and or what is the workflow that will enable me to get the titles in the second computer.

 

Thank you

Hi guys

 

I'm trying to create an AVI file with a DIVX or XVID codec. This for a portrait size (1080x1920 resolution) Clear Channel advertising display. The advert is edited, but Avid or Squeeze doesn't have those codecs for export.

 

Has anyone found an easy way of creating such an AVI file that is not standard landscape?

 

With many thanks.

I understand you want me to update my subscription.  But there is no excuse for this notice showing up dozens of times per day on my screen.  Please, please, you need to fix this behavior.  Unless you're intentionally trying to make people hate Avid Inc. as a company.  Whoever made the decision to make the software behave like this needs to go back and take a Business 101 class.

Running Media Composer First 8.9.x on iMac 2011 i3?

November 13, 2017, 1:29 pm

Hi,

 

I've attempted to install Avid Media Composer First 8.9 on a mid 2011 iMac 3.06 GHz i3 with 4GB ram and a 256Mb Radeon graphics adapter. It's running Mac OS Sierra.

 

Whilst I can get the application to install fine, sign in to the licence manager and perform updates of the application components, I cannot get MCF to launch without crashing. It's a generic Mac OS error message "The application has quit unexpectedly" and I do see some IO attempts to the audio adapter through dmesg.

I have tried to look on the forums for previous reported issues and have attempted to:

 

- Rename the Settings folder in the application folder

- Locate and rename the AxPlugins folders

- Performed all updates as requested by the app

- Signed out and in of the licence manager

 

A little stumped with no actual application error message, I went back to basics and reviewed the system requirements. The requirement for 6 GB ram (8 GB recommended) and probably a better than i3 CPU (my mid 2011 iMac isn't even listed on the compatability page) did indicate I may have trouble. However, coming from a PC background, requirements aren't always honest and truthful so I figure I might get away with it.

 

So my question is, is the application intended to provide a user friendly error message if the system doesn't meet hardware requirements or is the crashing on load unrelated? If it's the hardware, my machine will accept 8 GB RAM through a hardware upgrade. Would the RAM upgrade be sufficient to get the program running or is the CPU/video adapter too old to even attempt use of MCF even after a RAM upgrade?

 

If it's not a hardware issue any other pointers would be appreciated. MCF has never loaded and it's a clean install of Mac OS with no other applications other than Apple's Final Cut Express.

 

Thanks!

source browser links but not imports from multiple folders

Hi -- received a hard drive containing about 50 folders organized by the producer, from different camera cards.  I'd like to keep the folders as is.  The source browser allows me to link to these folders by selecting all folders and clicking "create new bins based on folder names" and then "link".  So I end up with 50 bins based on the camera card folders, with the corresponing media.

However, when I change to "link" to "import", select all folders, and click "import"...nothing happens.  Am I able to import media from multiple folders and have avid create new bins?

MC8 Diary

The first thing noticed is that MC5 is a new beast.

Here are some AVCHD files to try.

The first 3 files are mts.

Because MC5 is capable of importing AVCHD files.

Update:

1) The import is slow but the files are coming fine into MC.

2) NTSC clips can't be imported into a PAL project as MC detects the framerate and stops you.

3) Once come into MC they play fantastic.

Script search not searching all scripts

Running MC 8.9.2 on Mac Pro running 10.11.6.

 

Working on a sprawling doc project with 100ish hours of interviews and more to come, all transcribed and scripts imported.

When I keyword search "Current Script" for "Script A" I get multiple hits, but when I search "Scripts in Project", "Script A" doesn't come up, and nor do several others which I know to contain the keyword.

Is there anything I can do to get it to re-index the scripts without also reindexing the Phrasefind index, which takes a looong time?

Thanks,
