Blackmagic HyperDeck issue

Good morning. I am using a HyperDeck Studio Mini and have set it's codec to DNxHD 145 mxf. I link to the clip with source browser and the4 clip shows in my bin. When I try to play it I get: VDM3_VideoInputCvtr::ExecuteRequest: Unexpected state. and the clip does not play. I tried to consolidate which seemed to work but it still gave the same error.

 

I made a recording setting the HyperDeck codec to DNxHD 145 QT and all seems to work.

 

I'd prefer to stay in MXF if possible.

 

BTW, I tried the procedure of disconnecting and powering down the Nitris and computer and restarting...no difference.

Anyone know if there is a way to Disable the new Bin Lock system.  We have been having tons of issues with or avids.  We now believe that one of the main issues causing a crazy Lag we get is part of this Bin Locking system.  Is there a way to just go back to the old Red Locked system?

Timecode burn-in displays N.A. on video mixdown.

I've done this dozens of times: tc burn-in effect on top video track. Video mixdown. Use mixdown for client viewing or audio reference.

Out of the blue, when I do the mixdown the display shows "N.A." instead of the code, even though the code displays correctly in the timeline. Have rebooted, tried changing project format, fresh tc burn-in effect.

It seems to work fine if I render the whole effect before doing the mixdown, but it's a huge timewaster.

Has anyone had this happen? Suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

Errcode: 4294965262 on Export

January 14, 2015, 11:41 am

Working at a busy post house with 3 shows and 7 Avid stations.  Could really use some help/guidance or how to correct or avoid this issue.  When attempting to export certain sequences, we received the following error message.

Exception: Movie export from procedure FAILED!, errcode:4294965262

We had previously run into something similar when certain files had CORE_CONSISTANCY_FAILURES that seemed to added on ingest.  In most cases, a re-ingest from a different source (GRAID backup instead of an OWC Mercury Extreme SSD with a SoundDevices Pix Caddy) seemed to do the trick.  In this instance it was no help.

My next step was to perform a video mixdown and about 75% of the way through it failed.  I tried to re-start the mixdown from the point it failed at, but received this message: 

SWDC_CodecInterface_Task::Execute0

CONSISTENCY CHECK FAILURE !?! : [<idNum>]

The media created to this point may be unusable or incomplete.

The strange part is that can play through this section without any issue.  Normally even one frame with a Core Consistancy Check Failure will stop playback and throw out an error message.  So what I'm left with is a clip that seemingly refuses to export, but acts just fine when playing down.  I'd like to solve this now as I know it will pop up again when we attempt to export the final show.

Can anyone help me understand this error message better?  Or how to resvole and also potentially let me know if I can make a change to my workflow to avoid this?

Currently we are importing straight from the OWC Mercury Extreme SSD with a SoundDevices Pix Caddy cards that were used during the shoot.  It's 29.97DF footage loaded into a 59.94 project in Avid MC7.  All contained on 1x 3TB volume of a Facilis Terrablock.

How can I import or AMA link to a 4K HEVC MP4 file?

I posted about this yestrday - but can find no record of my post, nor have I received any replies. I was informed that the MODERATOR would decide if my post would be posted.. So I know I posted:)

I'm frustated that I can't do something simple that even VLC can do - for free. And hoping I can! 

I need to import - or better still AMA link to a 4K HEVC MP4 file, so I can trim it/edit it down. I want to then post it to Vimeo to use on a website. 

VLC recognises my source file and can transcode it. But Avid doesn't recognise is - with my current settings or plug ins. There doesn't seem to be a codec for MAC that will recognise H265 files - but they've been around for a few years?! And if I transcode to H264, besides losing quality (visibly on the replay with VLC) when I import to AVID - it currently takes the file - but the result is a 3GB video file with just 3 mins of green splodge instead of epic wildlife footage. 

I'm not sure also if I should use an HD project or anything higher, for bext results. I need the final file not to be too large - so the website loads quickly enough. I have tried both of course. 

I'm a couple of days still trying to figure this out now - can anyone help? And anyone know what happened to my original post in the Media Compser Mac forum? Or a response from a moderator? 

A bit frustrated now.. Isn't Ultimate ultimate enough to cope with a simple H265 file? Unfortunatey I don't have the raw camera foootage so I can't use a codec to import that way. If anyone can help:)

Surely 2018 MCU can import a 1 year old 4K UHD HEVC file? 

Resolution: 3840 x 2160
File size: 449 MB
Duration: 00:03:18
Format: MP4
Codec: HEVC
Frame rate: 60 fps

in hope an with thanks

2018.9 and 2018.10 both exhibit this bug (I haven't checked anything prior to 2018.9). When I open the Dynamic Relink Settings Window and try to check the "Enable Dynamic Relink" checkbox I'll see the detailed settings appear briefly and then the box unchecks itself and the settings hide themselves again. Please look into this.

Antivirus essential from my Synology NAS has quarantined "SetSecDescBG.exe" and "SetSecDMF.exe" from the 2018.12.3 installation folders (unzipped Avid download), threat = Win.Trojan.Refroso-12582: I guess/hope these are just false positives...?

Slow 'pick-up' after each edit made

Hi. After each edit I make on the timeline, the machine 'hangs' for around a second and a half - blue circle - before I can hit play or do anything else. Usual stuff of turning off all clip colours other than source, (inc offline colour), turning off dynamic relink, switching playlength to 1 and closing all bins with sequences so only one bin, one sequence is active. 

Nothing helps. 

However. I've just spotted in the console that it keeps brining up: 

BuildPipes Concurrency Alert - BuildPipes starting with BuildPipes in progress!

 

So, I entered showbptime into the console to see what was going on - and it seems that the culprit is:

RTPlayerGraph Pipes took 1543 milliseconds to build

 

Awesome. 

Now.. what the hell is it, and how do I speed it up??

I hope someone can help...

Bug opening markers window while on source side

Frequently if the marker window is closed and I match frame a markered clip from my sequence then open the markers tool, it shows the markers for the sequence in the record window instead of the clip in the active source window. I have to toggle to record then back to source for the markers to show up. Seems like a bug. I haven't figured 100% reproducible steps, though.

Disable GPU Effects still needed for renders?

Just completed a presentation where I needed to do some cleanup and make the presentation succinct had about 70 fluid morph effects on the video portion, which was keyed.  I had several attempts using render-all, which crashed Avid every time.  I went into settings/render and disabled GPU Effects and all is fine now.  I think this has been a problem for some time but just wondering will we at some point be able to use the GPU to render effects in Avid?  The video cards are getting better and cheaper; I use my 1080 FTW in Resolve which has more than doubled my render times.

 

Thanks

Can't Link SD .mp4 Files With Source Browser

Hi!

I am experiencing a strange issue I have never had before.  OSX 10.13.6 High Sierra / MC 2018.12.3 / Nexis 18.6.0.8

 

So I cannot link Standard Def (SD) .mp4 clips through the Source Browser at all.  I tried in an HD project, I tried in a SD project.  Not sure what the issue is but thought it may have something to do with the Nexis server so I dragged one of the clips to the desktop and tried to link with no success, tried on the top level of the server no success.

I right click the clips and select Quicktime, and the clips read as H264, but still they won't link.  I can import them no problem.

One thing I notice they are reading as 720x486p.  Another thing too is that in the same batch of clips, there is 1280x720p clips with the same codec, and they link no problem.

Can't for the life figure out why the SD clips won't link but the HD clips will link.  Any help is appreciated.

Exception when transcoding RED 4K footage

HI,

 

I was on the forum last week and got good advice about workflow to transcode some 4K footage in a project that is HD and archive. I have been transcoding to ProRes with the other material. Unfortunately when a 4K clip's length is over about 6 minutes it stops and I got an error message Exception: AMAProducer Task::Execute: AMA Plug-In Unable to Provide Sample

So I reverted to exporting Prores.movs from Red CineX and then am now trying to transcode them into AVID. It takes absolutely ages and they are huge files, No error messages on importing these to AVID but this is transcoding twice isnt it?

Perhaps I should try to cut a short trailer AMA linking to the RED CINE X exports for a 5 minute trailer  - but I'm worried I wont be able to export at the end.

cheers,

Sarita

Getting a beefier GFX card

What would you recommend guys?  Have an older K2000 but as I'm doing a lot of UHD it may be good to get a more recent faster one?  Specs are a bit confusing as my K2000 is stillfully approved and listed. 

Dont want to spend too much for minimal video editing gain (as rigthtly/wrongly I just think these cards provide 2D video and dont computer game light/shade/3D CAD anything).

Have found a K4000 for a very good price - will I be twice as awsome with that ;)

Thanks for any advice.

Hallo everyone,

I started using the new version (after using 8.6.4 as an academic version) and get this error message while trying to export a same as source file:

Exception: CACPLGPUOutputconverter::executerequest() GPU to host transfer failed!, hr:0x80000002

Exporting to QT works.

I tried the same as source export with two different external hard drives and both attempts failed. I created and worked on the project in the old version and had no problems exporting same as source files. 

 

Thank you for your help (hopefully...)!

Dependency issue with mediaprocessor-win-vc14-x64-4.4.25.10050

We ran into an issue with package when installed on a clean system.  It seems that one of the DLLS included with latest VC14 release of media processors is dependant on the VS 2013 c++ lib support.

According to a dependancy walker - FTF.DLL (dated 2016-10-13) is dependant on MSVCR120.DLL and MSVCP120.DLL.

When installing on a clean system, this library fails to load - our installer is not explicity including the 2013 libraries any longer.  Can this be resolved in a future release?

Thanks,

Canon C200 raw light workflow question

Hi everybody, maybe anyone here is using a new Canon C200 recording to Canons new RAW light format.

I just recorded a few scenes as a test to a CFast card, installed Canons Raw ligth AMA plugin for Avid..

and wow! i could edit the CRL files natively.

What i dont understand is: while editing the files and color correcting them - do i really chahnge the same values like i could with Canons external RAW light development kit, where i can change white balance and a few more values like for example editing RAW stills in Lightroom.

Does Avid Color correction really work with the raw files? Or would it be better for me the go through the C-Raw Light development kit?

What is the best way and how are you guys working with CRL files?

Thank you!

Ingo
