Hi,
Can I disable the bin map feature? Most of the time all the thumbnails fit to the screen and when they don't I use mouse wheel to scroll up and down to reveal the new clips.
thanks,

2019.7 find bin opens the new container
Hi,
Usually I have only one bin container opened where all the necessary bins are tabbed. If I want to quickly find a clip's bin that is opened in source monitor, I hit Find bin command. The bin opens in a new bin container.
Would be great if I could define one bin container as a "main" container so all the bins open in that container instead of new container.
best,

Thank you in advance

NewBlueFX Titler Pro 7 available - Not recommended
At least not at this time.
1. NewBlueFX does not list Resolve as a supported host which rather surprised me but may not matter to Avid users
2. There are serious bugs in TP7 (not related to the host a far as I can tell) - feels like beta software
I’m reporting this here as a ‘service’ to this community and will report to NewBlueFX to hopefully get the issues with TP7 resolved.
Will report back with an update when available.

Avid Link doesn't remember activation codes or system ID, what a pain
I haven't had to deactivate MC (2019.7) in a while, but I just had to. When I deactivated, Avid Link (also 2019.7) automatically deacativated ALL of my options including PhraseFind, ScriptSync, and Symphony. When I tried to reactivate them the System ID is blank AND the Activation ID fields are blank too.
This is requiring me to log on to Avid.com, sign-in, go to the product page, and then COPY AND PASTE my System ID and Activation codes listed under each option from the web site into Avid Link.
If I SIGN IN to Avid Link, shouldn't this information ALREADY be there? Isn't that the point of signing in?
Also, this problem is 100% reproduceable every single time I deactivate on both my desktop and laptop. Please fix.

Autosync subsequence to subclip not working
Hi, I'm new here, so I'd appreciate any help I can get!
I'm assist editing on a doc feature, and I have a bunch of subsequences I've renamed, but when I go to cut them into the timeline they don't appear with the names they have in the bin.
Now I understand that normally I would just right-click the subsequence in the bin, select "autosync" and then the subsequence would become a subclip and that would solve it.
However selecting "autosync" does nothing. No error message, no subclip.
Can anyone help?

MC stalls when color correction with BM Decklink Mini
While color correcting in Media Composer 2018.12.7 (Decklink Mini monitor) with Symphony option the application stalls. This is most frequent when I am using secondaries. Also scrolling through the timeline and comparing shots triggers this behaviour. This is with a sequence that has 1 video track and the material is XAVC 100 stored on a editshare. I have had the video quality at both full and 10bit, tried with confidence view on and off.
If I look in the console I can see there is a playback timeout because asyncexec is waiting for input from input 0 (slot 0).
I can see this behaviour with Blackmagic Desktop Video drivers:
10.9.10
10.10
10.11
10.11.1
10.11.4
11.0
11.2
11.3
Here is an example of the error message I get, it looks about the same with all the different drivers. I have also made a pastebin with a sample for each of the drivers.
https://pastebin.com/p1NGKik8
With all these drivers the error message in the console looks the same:

Avid 2019.7 - New problem. I suddenly can't apply gain to an audio master clip in the bin.
When I apply gain I get the message that:
"Some of the selected clips are not master clips, subclips or groups and will be ignored"
The clips are standard WAVE files that I have ingested and this process has worked fine while cutting in this project for the last 2 weeks, up until today.
Any ideas?

Avid NEXIS | FS 2019.8 Now Available
Avid NEXIS | FS 2019.8 was released on Tuesday of last week, August 20, 2019.
This release introduces:
Avid NEXIS | Cloudspaces - Backup file system metadata
- File system metadata is automatically backed up to a Cloud storage account for all Avid NEXIS systems with an active Cloudspaces subscription. This allows all media in the Cloudspaces to be usable in the unlikely event of an unrecoverable loss of the on-premises Avid NEXIS. The metadata is stored separately from the Cloudspaces. The Avid NEXIS administrator does not need to configure or monitor the metadata backups.
Support for macOS 10.14.5 & 10.14.6
- Apple recently enforced the need for Notarized applications in its update to macOS X Mojave. Avid NEXIS client now supports Apple macOS Integrity Protection (Application Notarization). Avid NEXIS 2019.8 can be installed on Apple machines running any version of macOS 10.14 Mojave including 10.14.5 and 10.14.6 which require application notarization.
Avid NEXIS | FS 2019.8 is now available to qualifying customers via MyAvid accounts. For full details see the 2019.8 ReadMe posted on the Avid NEXIS Documentation page.
Questions, let me know

Avid and BCC Studio interface.
Hello,
Please see how looks my monitor 4K - Eizo CG 318 (31") during work with Avid and open BCC Studio.
I can resize fonts in all panels in Settings -> Interface except Effect Palette (is crazy small).
Work without a magnifying glass is impossible.
Please see how look toolbar in Avid ant BCC after open.
I understand that young people are able to strain their eyes but unfortunately this is a very serious fault.

Let's Make the Next MediaMover or MDV
Hello Everyone,
I think native, flexible media managementis lacking in Avid. "Have you tried Media Tool?", you might ask. Here's my problem with Media Tool - it's not easy to use. For example:
1. An Assistant Editor finishes logging, then wants to transfer the project to an Editor. He'll bundle up the assets in one folder, grab the Avid project folder, and send them over to the Editor. Might be over the network (peer-to-peer) or through sneaker net.
2. An Editor finishes his project, and wants to do a backup. Same as before - he'll bundle up the assets, grab the Avid project, and store them on backup drives.
3. We produce events that require last-minute changes. Plus, there's on-location editing that requires gathering assets from multiple users. So bundling all the assets you need before traveling is critical. Hotel networks aren't built for large file transfers.
For years, the alternatives were MediaMover and MDV. MediaMover can do all the above, but MDV is the best I've ever used. It's simple, easy, and fast.
Here's the problem with MDV. (Problems, really.)
1. It's Windows only. There are ways of making it work in OS X, but you hate them all. How do I know? Because it keeps coming up.
2. It has limitations in Wine - neither bin sifting nor folder scanning works.
3. It's abandoned.
So what would it take to create a native OS X media management tool?
First, we need to know what we're working with, the data. Are there available file specs on:
1. Media Stream Managers (MSM's)
2. Projects
3. Bins
4. Metadata layout on individual MXF's
Is it just a matter of asking someone from Avid HQ? Do you know anybody?
It's clear we need something. But everyone's busy, you know... editing. Plus you're thinking, "What can I do? I'm not a programmer!" Well, I'm an anomaly. I do what you do, but I also have some development/IT chops. They just need some refreshing. And this project would be worth refreshing them.
So what do you think? Is it worth making the next MDV? Are there any others like me who would be interested in contributing? Do you have any contacts that could help point me in a direction?
Thanks!

USM / BMC versions
Hi all-
I need to upgrade our Nexis E4 from 2018.11 to 2019.8.
The server is currently running BMC version 01.0034, which corresponds to USM version 1.32. According to the ReadMe for 2019.8, the "recommended" USM version for the latest release is 1.37.
Can I take this to mean that USM v1.32 is still supported but not ideal?
My understanding is that USM upgrades must be perfomred by Avid, and that they can involve considerable downtime. Has anyone been through this process? Can these upgrades be scheduled for off-hours/weekends?
Thanks,
Ryan

Creating "normal" speed clips from offspeed footage
Is there a way in Source Settings or FrameFlex to create a 200% timewarp clip of footage shots at 48 FPS? The goal being to create "normal" speed clips from offspeed footage that can be synced to normal speed audio and added as subclips to bins and script bins.
I see that Source Settings "Playback Rates" tab has a "Playback Frame Rate" option but it only offers:
- Clip's FPS (23.976)
- Project's FPS (23.976)
Neither of those two options would help my 48 FPS footage.
Thanks!

2018.12 to 2019.6 (NAS Storage Sharing is STILL BROKEN...) BUG: "MCCET-2960" L3 PLEASE FIX IT!!!!
MCCET-2960 is the bug number and the NAS storage sharing is STILL BROKEN... we have to relink everything all the time before uprezing... making use of program a huge PAIN IN THE $^%$!!! Only versions that holds AMA links is 2018.11 and below, after that its VERY BUGGY and or doesn't work at ALL. We are using the new grouping feature which is NOT backward compatible or we would roll back all systems to 2018.9 which is the less buggy of all the avid versions out. First thing I did when I installed the newest version 2019.6 is test one of avids most IMPORTANT features AMA LINKING...
/Volumes/R2%20RAID/THF-110 -061519_DAY_5/AC300/A12/
It shows % instead of correct Nas link... showing the link as OFFLINE... I have QT Screen Video footage of this but I'm not posting here due to our media being on screen, etc. You link on one system links break on and other systems when the bin is opened with the same permissions and specs. MAC OSX 10.13.6 (High Sierra) Mac Pro's Mid 2012 Avid (2018.12-2019.6) Well it's still broken... I still have a ticket open the same one I've had open for months and months. I seriously don't think L3 gives a damm, either that or this new UI is more important then post-production workflows. They expect us to use Nexis space for storing RAW footage...
It would be great if other post house's who have upgraded to 2018.12/2019+ and have NAS storage issue's like us start complaining so we can get this fixed. I've seen others on here saying they have the same issues so I know its not just us.
I really don't understand how this isn't a top priority for Avid L3, you guys broke it so PLEASE FIX IT!?

Can't export of mixdown: errcode:-2034.
I’m getting an error everytime I’m trying my 4k projectr: errcode:-2034.
I’ve tried exporting in both 4K and HD with DNxHD or DNxHR. I’ve tried, ProRes, H264, same error all the time after just a few seconds.
I’ve tried the divide and conquer method but it won't export no matter how small my selection is.
I’ve tried creating a new sequence with just a few seconds on my original sequence and I get the same error.
I’ve tried trashing my settings.
Exporting the Audio only works fine.
I’ve tried to export to multiple drives (with plenty of space. Mac HD also have space), with multiple (very basic) file names.
95% of my clips are transcoded to DNxHR LB. A few are linked. I’ve tried with a sequence with just 3 DNxHR LB clips, and I’m having the same problem.
This is the error I get from the console:

Mojave 10.14.5 ISSUES w/ Nexis - L3 PLEASE HELP!
Every time I create titles MC doesn't write the media of the created title. It looks like it does but if I quit and relaunch avid the titles are offline when I reload the project. This goes for transcoding as well.
I've tested this on the following... Nexis Client Managers.

AvidNEXIS_19.2.0_Client
AvidNEXIS_19.4.0.14_Client
Makes it hard to work on shared projects... is there a beta Nexis Client I can try this is kinda ridiculous Mojave 10.14.5 was released May 13, 2019, it's August tomorrow... I haven't been able to work correctly for almost 3 months. If I could downgrade I would... in fact I took this iMac genius bar but they were not able to roll it back as it shipped out with 10.14.5.
Please advise, any help is greatly appreciated!
