Avid 2019.7 crashes when searching effects. Was a problem in previous versions. 

Fresh install of OSX Mojave 10.14.5. First installed Pro Tools 2019.6, rebooted run the software once. Installed Media Composer 2019.7 on loading Autoconfiguring Transport Machines in the box on the load screen I get an error.

Exception: OSXMIDIio MIDIClientCreate Failed, OSStatus:-50.

On looking at Google I am brought to this Avid article

http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Troubleshooting/Error-launching-Media-Composer-Exception-OSXMidiIO-MIDIClientCreate-failed-OSStatus-268451843

Go to the following directory:

Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers/

Drag the file: DigiDioMidiDriver.plugin  to your Trashcan, and empty it


Now you should be able to launch Media Composer.

The plugin was used for digi 002/003, and is no longer needed.

I don't see any file in this folder??

Thanks,

Does anyone know a reason to set this to Local Default upon creation of a project? I have a post manager that has insisted that when we create our projects we set the Search Data Folder to Local Default. I’ve never specifically had to do this before and was wonder what would be the Pros and Cons to such a setup. Thanks! 

Ok, sorry for runon sentence to follow, but ...

If one brings RGB material into a YCbCr project, specifically green screen material, is that RGB material handed to the keying tool as RGB or is it converted to YCbCr first, merely by being in the YCbCr sequence.

I keep getting this error and have to quit avid?

My picture in the composer disappears to black every now and then and requires I resize the windows for it to reappear.

Hi,

I’m just finding my way around the new version. A few initial questions:

1) Anyone know if you can disable the little 2 frame ‘fade in’ and ‘fade’ out’ effect that AVID adds every time you enter 4 up display or do other similar actions that affect the composer window. I find this really gimmicky and distracting. As someone who works with frames and fades all day, this jumps out at me like crazy.

2) There’s a little hatched rectangle at the top of every bin container. What’s this for? Just design? Feels overly busy for my taste.

3) Any way to disable the alternating light/dark lines in the timeline? Feels like I’m editing on stripes.

4) Any way to make this dark interface darker? Way lighter than the last version. 

Thanks!!

Anyone seen this? When I add more than 3 video tracks I'm getting multiples, two or three copies of the same track. And they don't want to select or edit normally.

Anyone have good fonts for Arabic? I'm having trouble with some diacriticals (accent marks). There's a double line (a little like an equal sign = ) that's supposed to appear above a letter, but only appears to the left of the letter. In many fonts the accent doesn't work at all, and I've been through hundreds.
