Installed 2018.7 but dongle activation option is not showing up as a selection in the licensing section of app manager. Also, in my account under products, my perpetual donlge updater file is only showing as 2018.5.
I have two licenses, an annual and a perpetual. While both show up under my account in tha app manager, I'm not seeing both under the licesning.
thanks.
Media Composer 2018.7 does not work with Decklink Ultrastudio Mini Monitor. Downloaded the latest drivers and reinstalled them.
Hi guys,
I know this question is probably going to sound really dumb, but is there a way to enter TC into the source monitor without using the nunpad on the keyboard? I've got an apple wireless keyboard with no dedicated numpad and not being able to enter TC is pretty annoying!
Thankyou in advance for answering my n00b question :)
This version is unusable for me. Playback takes 10 secs to start, then stops/starts intermittently, glitches out, etc Havent even tried to use the "live timeline" and it cant play back a relatively uncomplicated timeline. 2018.4 works smooth as butter.Going back to that one. Disappointing to have waited so long for a feature like this, renewed my support last month and the first new release under a new contract is basically DOA for me.
This is on a 2017 maxxed out Imac
just installed 2018.7 the pgm works well but using NBT and the renders are slow as snails like 20 min
I have a few clips that have arabic text as their file names imported into MC. In the avid bins they come up as "??? ???? ???" althought they play the correct video and on the files in the Avidmedia files folder they have the correct arabic script names. I'm hoping my version of avid just needs a plugin so it can display the arabic clip names properly in the bin. Does such a plugin exist?
Many thanks.
On a Mac Pro Westmere 2012 system...which I only just learned is not supported. Live timeline appears to be working. But dupe detectionswiched on causes a timeline error that won't go away.
On a Mac Pro 2012 Westemere silver tower (cheese grater). The Nitris won't connect. The live timeline feature works.
I'm terribly sad the reco (I just read) says my CPU is not supported. I have been craving a live timeline forever and now I feel the rug has been pulled out from under me.
But i guess I need to know if not talking to the Nitris Box is normal for the software.
Tried with BF76 and Dyn3 compressor/limiter - side chaining now not working in this version.
Stereo & mono tracks made no difference.
Key listen works but there is no compression.
I need to generate an EDL with Markers from MC 8.6.5- Im new to List Tool. How do I create an EDL with Markers? Cant find it as a selectable data set to output.
I have Commited Multicam Edits so I know thats not an issue.
Thanks!
Come on AVID! The MXF files from resolve 15 do not have the correct timecodes. The aaf loads from resolve and the edits are correct, but the timecodes for the sources are wrong! I cannot go to the original source clips or proxys (which both have the correct timecode) by timecode. The MXF files have the correct timecode since I can load the aaf into Premeire and the time code is corect.
I know this is a simple question, but I'm unable to figure out if there is there a shortcut to rename a clip, and then how to accept that name without it then trying to rename another clip.
In other words, when I have a clip selected in a bin, is there a key I can press to be able to rename a clip (in other programs, this is often simply the return key), and then once I'm done renaming, is there a key I can press to simply accept that name? Right now when I'm renaming a clip and I press return, Avid continues on and is allowing you to rename the next clip – I'd rather it just accept and keep the clip I renamed highlighted.
Hi all,
An odd one that I haven't seen before and would love some help.
I type a title in title tool and align and do all the usual things. But when I start to go back and type more in the pre exisiting title the text changes to geneva rather than keep my previously selected font.
This there a way around this?
Thank you for your time
Several projects which had no issues in the previous version I was working on, now have playback errors.
The main issue I have is that I get a pop up error and then my timeline goes invisable. There's probably a corrupt or unrecognised effect / mediafile in there somewhere, but I can no longer bring my timeline back into vision.
Any ideas?
"Exception: CORE_SEGMENT_NOT_FOUND, className:TLtrak, methodName:DrawSegDupZones"
So I'm working on a huge job. Tons of media. DIT did the transcodes, and the media was coming in over multiple days.
The team had Alexas, DSLRs, drones, etc. The camera dept and DIT neglected to change the media name to prevent duplicate files. When the DIT transcoded, he left it the naming of the MXF same as source. So now there are a ton of duplicate filenames.
Normally, I'd deal with this by keeping the duplicates in separate MXF folders because the metadata is still different. But the last couple times, overzealous editors wanted to bring the media home with them (we use a nexis at the office). They copied the media to the drive, then consolidated the media, OVERWRITING the duplicatse.
i can wag my finger at them and tell them they made a mistake (which really accomplishes nothing because people will do what they'll do), but I was thinking a safer avenue was seeing if i can rename the MXF files.
So here's my question:
If I rename the MXF files, will that affect anything? The files themselves contain the metadata that appears in Avid. In theory I could rename those files and avid would still work, right?
The only issue I can think of off the top of my heads is if the unmuxed MXF video/audio files have metadata that connect them to each other.
Thanks!
Hey all,
Forgive me if I'm missng something obvious here: we're running Avid 2018.5 and I'm attempting to multigroup some archive concert footage [1080p/23.976 DNxHD] and we've recently upgraded to High sierra.
The way I learned to multigroup is the sync map > AAF > pluraleyes and back situation. However, Pluraleyes 3.5 keeps crashing every time I try to use it and I fear we have upgraded beyond our ability to use it. I was hoping that with the new "analyze by waveform" addition (this office just upgraded from MC6.5) that there would be a way to skip the pluraleyes and copying auxiliary timecodes step and just multigroup by waveform. This method works in chunks for the most part, but I can't seem to get it to analyze over an hour of footage that way. Maybe because there is no consistent external audio track.
Things I've attempted:
-using premiere to create a faux "external" audio clip by patching the audio and synchronizing in the premiere timeline, then multigrouping everything with it in Avid. Nada.
- downloading resolve thinking there might be a way to sync the cips in there and my brain melting.
- looking at entangle and knowing this office won't pay $20/month for it (but I could beg if someone can confirm this is a good solution).
So if you've got any ideas:
I'm looking at 5 cameras, no cam timecode, no external audio (although each clip has audio), no slate, and every camera cuts multiple times. Every once in a while I get a glimpse of a timecode clock on set, but not on every camera nor for every cut and even if I did, i'm not sure exactly what to do with them. This is footage from 1999 and i'm a newb. Any help would be much appreciated!
I've found a couple posts regarding this issue from a number of years ago, but didn't find the answers to be resolute.
I have these AMAlogger files littering up my OSX user folder and hanker to delete them. If deleting will wreak havoc, I'd settle for moving them.
Can anyone definitively answer to the wisdom of either solution? Delete or move? And if I can move them, how to move them?
Thanks!
Hello, I bought protocols last month, after 3weeks, I think this software is not good for me, my question is can I return protools and get avid mc? Sorry about that.
Hi,
Is there any possibility to disable the new Live Timeline function?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
I freshly installed MC2018.7 on three different test machines and all of them behave the same way.
If I am inside a bin and I click into the Source Monitor nothing happens. After a second click the Source Monitor becomes available.
For the Record Monitor I just need one click.
For switching between clips inside a bin I sometimes need 3 double clicks or I have a delay of 3-5 seconds before a new clip becomes selected.
Tested on a MacPro5.1 and two iMac Pros, all with 10.13.5.
Doyle
EDIT: I went back to 2018.5 and the issue is still there, could be a combination with 10.13.5. With 10.13.3 everthing was ok.
