  • avid.com is broken?

     

    avid.com has been missing a bunch of my licenses since last week.  Support advised that they were "replatforming" and that might be the reason.

     

    Today I'm seeing that some computers have a new UI but on login we get "Error 500"

     

    Other computers are still showing the old UI and my licenses are still missing from My Products page.

     

    @Marianna -- any inside scoop?

  • export transcript

    I made a transcript from a clip and I want to export it as a text file.

    But everytime I want to use the export command, the indexing start again. It takes a lot of time, it's just text, no need to index the whole clip again for the second time.

    I could copy/paste the text but then I get no timecodes.

    Any ideas?

  • MC 2021.12.10 showing effects and alpha channels only on playback

    Hello,

    I have a strange behaviour in MC for a few days, though I didn't change anything in MC settings or hardware. When playiing the timeline I see all the effects and alpha channels, but when I pause, all the effects and alpha channels are gone. 

    It means I can see the effects only on playback.

    Does anyone know what could cause this?

    Many thanks in advance!

  • Media appears offline in timeline source view but bin Offline column indicates otherwise

    I have media that appears offline (in timeline view of the sequence as well as for the clip) but not in bin where the Offline column field is blank for that clip, indicating there are no tracks offline -- according to the bin Offline column.  But when I select Reveal File for the clip the mediafiles for both the offline (A2 and A3) and online (V1, A1, A4) clips are revealed and the mediafiles for the corresponding tracks that are offline in AMC are not highlighted while the mediafiles for the online clips are highlighted. 

    When I toggle to Source view in the Timeline window this is what I see:

    V1 is online

    A1 is online

    A2 is offline (red, no waveform)

    A3 is offline (red no waveform)

    A4 is offline

     

    Soloing A2 for example plays silence.

    I tried deleting the pmr and mdb and letting Avid rebuild but the situation remains the same.

    I tried quitting out of Avid and doing a disk first aid and no errors were reported and then I relaunched Avid and the situation was the same.

     

  • Batch relinking to linked media not working

    Very odd but MC won't recognize and relink when the source bowser is pointing to the location of the files, neither will it relink when selecting multiple files. I can only succesfully relink one clip at a time. This is very very wrong.

    When selecting multiple AMA clips that are offline in a bin and going to relink-> linked media, the clip selector pops up, I select all the clips, and then in the locate media window it's only allowing me to select a single clip at a time. Is this how Avid works or is this a glitch?

    Anyone with any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • QuickTime Player

    QuickTime Player will not play back Avid codec DNxHR mov exports. I get the error message "This file contains some media which isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player."  VLC has no issues.  I've re-installed the Avid codec and Media Composer is installed on this machine.  Any ideas on how to get this playback option working again?

  • Issues with importing AAFs and Audio

    Hello,

    I've been given an AAF exported from ProTools to bring into Avid, however I cannot get the media to appear online. I haven't got much experience with bringing in AAFs so it is very possible I'm missing a basic step.

    I initially did a test with a project on EditShare. 

    I imported the AAF, nothing was online. I realised that there weren't any MXF files for the AAF to link to so I imported the original sound files, re-imported the AAF and everything was online. Great.

    The editor however is having to work off of a portable hard drive and as he had already brought in the original sound files, I assumed that I would simply need to bring in the AAF and it would work, but it didn't.

    I tried every combo in the 'relink' option and nothing worked.

    I tried batch-reimporting it but it just told me that I 'can't import this file into a bin'. Which I don't really understand, where else am I supposed to import it? 

    And here's the kicker, I tried redoing everything wtih another test project to see if it was an EditShare/portable hard drive difference that was causing it and now that doesn't work either. Even though I replicated the exact same steps?

    I am at a loss, any ideas around this?

  • Avid Media Composer 2024.2 Crashes on Boot Up

    I have the latest version of Avid on a Mac Studio (Apple M1 Ultra).  When I launch it, it crashes.  I can't get it open at all.  I noticed some people mentioning a possible conflict with iZotope RX10.  I do have the latest version of that installed (just updated it recently).  Perhaps that's the problem?  I don't know, but my Avid is dead.  Sonoma 14 OS.  Please help.

  • PhraseFind AI Index location (MC 2024.2.0)

    Currently editing long form series of docs on a Macbook pro M1 max / 64Gb Ram.

    Everything is working well with around 185h of material.

    Indexing was going on in the background and I was able to edit without any feeling of sluggishness even if Activity monitor reported that the AvidPhoneticIndexer was using up to 800% of CPU. Kudos, no crash at all (4 monitors setup = mac+3 externals / Using Proxies in DnxHR LB / Full Screen Mode and no BMD device / Not using Titler +) 

    After a few weeks of work almost all Master clips (see below) are properly indexed. 

    Question :

    I will be moving next month to a M2max Studio machine. How do I avoid having to re-index everything since the phonetic database was moved out of the project folder. Should I copy the

    /Users/Shared/AvidMediaComposer/Search

    folder from one machine to the next ?

    ----

    On a side note I have a few files refusing to get indexed. Not causing problems but they fire up the indexer for about two hours every morning before giving up, everyday, with the following errors in the log file:

    Error:  AvNN Error: 615, checkFinalizeTranscript error: list index out of range

    (on 1 file)

    and

    Error:  AvNN Error: 615, checkFinalizeTranscript error: local variable 'prediction' referenced before assignment

    (on +- 10 files)

    Bug Number: MCCET-4900. Length of clip names was different in a bin's Text View and

    15 characters.

     

    Bug Number: MCCET-5364. Depending on the selected font size, text was not scaled properly

    and appeared outside of the bounding box for items in a bin when zoomed out in Frame View.

     

    Bug Number: MCCET-5370. Some AudioSuite effects could not be previewed and caused

    Media Composer to hang if an EQ3-7 Band effect was used on linked AVCHD media.

     

    Bug Number: MCCET-5394. (Windows) In some instances, PhraseFind AI and ScriptSync AI

    services were not fully installed on systems with Java (32-bit) present, which caused errors to

    Bug Number: MCCET-5404. In some instances, proxy media created with Telestream Live

    Capture and EWC (Edit While Capture) was missing a portion of audio at the end of

    exported file.

     

    Bug Number: MCCET-5433. Importing an ALE file with a Custom Column containing more
