Jump to next defined clip CC button...

February 23, 2021, 2:21 pm

I'd like a mappable button that allows me to jump to the next appearence of a clip in a timeline when using colour correction mode. Example: 

I have a clip from the A cam and i want to check if and how it changes over the course of a scene (maybe variable lighting on location etc). I've used relational CC to colour my first clip and Avid has graded all subsequent clips in my timeline. Now I want a button that lets me jump to the next clip from that camera - based on disk label, tape name, clip name etc - basically any column should be able to be defined - of the clip I am parked on. This way I can quickly get a feel for what's changed and make adjustments to get the most even overall look.

I know I could type the clip name in the search bar and jump through them that way but I want something quicker than that. That also doesn't take in to account different clip names that come from the same rushes card etc.

I know it seems terribly naive to be asking for colour correction requests considering Avid's apparent disgust for the CC module but some of us do actually make use of it on a daily basis and would like to see it get some more love without having to wait another ten years for any improvements...

Weird error message

Hey folks,

I'm running the latest MC on a brand new Z4 with the fastest 18 core Xeons I could get and the most powerful AMD card rated for Avid. It's got 64gb of RAM, and it doesn't have any trash on it yet--just the basics for editing and converting media.

I'm having trouble with an effect. I use a lot of NewBlue effects, and the color replace effect is giving me a weird error on 1080p HQX footage: "Exception: VideoEffectConsumer--Unexpected status returned from RenderEffect"

What's going on here?  All my software is current. I've tried rebooting, running updates, disabling software, disabling the GPU, messing with the settings in Newblue, nothing.

Features to add to Titler +

Hello,

could you add this features to Titler + :

- When I open a title made on another computer, if the font isn't installed on my computer, Titler + open it with antother default font (that's ok) but it's impossible to know wich is the font used to install it.

- Titler + needs render but if I make a video mixdown, the mixdown make the render but don't keep it when I make a new mixdown. wasting time when there is a lot of Titler + effect. We have to make all the renders before mixdown.

Would it be possible to activte an automatic background render?

- Titler + don't see sub font in a font package.

Thanks a lot.

I get this error message all the time. It's not limited to one or more specific activities and pops up even when I'm not doing anything. There are a bewildering number of posts on this error message.

Has Avid spoken to this error message with a specific explanation or specific troubleshooting steps? If so, would someone please provide a link or something?

Import and Export Markers

Hello everyone,

I am experimenting with exporting markers with comments from my sequences's markers list as a TabD file and then importing the same tabD file back into Avid with the hope of pasting the markers onto another sequence, but I can't seem to get it to work. When I open up a new sequence and go to markers list and then right click to 'import markers' and choose the tabD file at windows level - nothing happens! Does anyone know how to copy markers with comments from one sequence to another? I've tried simply copy and pasting but that also doesn't work. I'm on Avid MC 8.8.1

Thanks!

Bin Issue

Hey all,

I just updated to the latest MC. And I don't know what happened, but when I open a bin, the bin is HUGE and goes accross both screens. The bin pretty much fills both screens. Very odd, never happened before. 

I have a 3 screen setup, where all my bins are settled screen left, my timeline and monitors is the center screen, and screen right is my playback. 

How can I get my bins opening just on the left screen, and not both?

 

thanks

Is there a way to add the default transition without having the menu popping up?

Hi editors,

 

I would like to know if there is a way for me to do a 'Quick Transition' with my keyboard shortcut and it would automatically add a dissolve, without me having to press enter / or click add. (So without the program opening the effect menu). This would make my workflow a bit faster since I do it so much.

 

Thanks in advance Smile

When I run Media Composer on my Windows laptop, I get several basic window problems:

  • The bottom of the screen is partly cut off.
  • The menu appears twice.
  • I have to click above objects rather than on them.
I'm not getting this problem on other applications.

Slow Project GUI - Media Composer 2020 - Mojave

February 24, 2021, 5:03 am

Is there a Maximum Bin Limit to what a project can hold?  The project is big but definitely not the biggest I've seen.

A new editor started and he wants to keep all his bins within the same project.  This makes the project extremely sticky.  It seems less so on Window's machines with 2018 versions of software.  But once it is on a mojave mac running 2020.8 it becomes unusable. 

The video and timeline react perfectly once the clip /sequence is loaded but it is the navigation of the project itself that suffers.  Opening or closing bins, opening or closing project, even scrolling up and down to view the bins, only scrolling, is so unresponsive.  Saving to attic takes an age too.  The problems happens when the project is local on an SSD but is exasperated once the project is ran from a NEXIS shared workspace.  

I have tried various 2019, 2020, 2021 versions all that the same issue.  I have upgraded the NEXIS to the latest version and the client.  Rebuilt the OS of the MAC.  Removed the SearchData folder from the project.  Deleted the MC state files.   Deleted the computers reference to the project (that would hold waveform cache etc) but nothing seems to change.  When using windows PC running 2018 the GUI becomes "normal" but that creates assertion errors, which may be fixed by rebuilding databases but that is not the job spec so is not a solution in this case.

Has anyone experience anything similar and what did you try to help/resolve the situation?

Any help or advise is greatly appreciated.  Cheers

I haven't been on the forums for maybe five years now..  But I used to beta test for Avid and was wondering if anyone has any idea?  The current 2021 Ultimate release has many issues with the current macOS.  Is it currently in beta?  I'd be willing to use a beta version if it will help.  Plenty of bugs in the current release with this current MacOS on my MacBook Pro.

AvidOPFrameGeneratorApp crashes

I saw this crash for the first time a few minutes ago. I had the Quick Transition window open. However, I was not actually doing anything because I was reading what the MC101 Fundamentals ebook says about Quick Transition. Although the crash report opened, MC did not actually close. As far as I can tell, MC has not become unstable.

After seeing this crash report for the first time, I looked in the DiagnosticReports folder and discovered that the same crash had occurred repeatedly without coming to my attention. How do I send them in as a zip file?

Specs in profile. I know Big Sur has not qualified for MC (or vice versa), but this is a hobby and academic pursuit for me and not my livelihood, so I don't mind stepping in it from time to time.

Weird "Update Sequence" colour correction behaviour...

Working on a Symphony 6.0.3.2.

Creating new sequences for each scene I'm working on.  I edit a scene, add a basic colour correction to correct for the LOG nature of the footage for review purposes, save and close the sequence.

When I go to reopen the sequence I get a promt to "Update Sequence - This selection will be duplicated and the following will be updated: - Colour Correction Effects".

Why am I getting this prompt?  I've only seen it before when moving from one version to another or from Symphony to Media Composer etc.  I am on the same system, in the same project, on the same Symphony and nothing has changed between creating the sequence and then reopening it.  Why does Avid need to update it?  Is this a bug?

Hi,

 

I need to send someone a sequence which has captions created in the title tool (2020.10, OSX 10.14.6), they are using MC on Catalina so no title tool support.  What will happen when they open the sequence?  Should I duplicate it and remove the titles?

 

Thanks

Confusion Over Importing Footage in Mac, OS-Catalina. Plz Help.

Hi. So before anything else here are quick specs. If more needed, let me know: Macbook Pro, 10.15.7; 8GB RAM; Dual Core Intel Core i5. 

 

So I am taking a course on how to use the latest Avid Media Composer (it's been some years) and on the section on importing the options available to the instructor versus what's available to me are different. I will include pictures of instruction when the instructor is importing and pics of my work. When the instructor imports this is what you get:

Versus when I am getting ready to import a mov file; in that case this is what comes up:

 

When this happened I used Google to see if I could come up with an explanation for why this is happening and I found this old thread. My takeaway is that it's an issue with folks running Avid on Catalina: https://community.avid.com/forums/t/199784.aspx

So I have two questions...I wanted to be sure that this is in fact an OS issue. Is that the case?

Also, should I be concerned that these import options aren't available to me? If so, what are suggested workarounds? All help is appreciated in advance. I would really like to understand what's going on and how best to proceed. If I missed any specs or other info please let me know. Thank you.

console command to cache video

Hi,

I've got a footage that's shot ProRes 4444 4k which I'm running inside an HD project - linking at the moment rather than transcoding.

I'm finding that when I hit play the picture skips and stubles for a few seconds before settling down and playing OK.  I'm playing it from an SSD so drive speed can't be the problem.  In the dim and distant past (I used it on newscutter) I remember there was a console command that cached the video for a number of seconds from where the playhead was parked ready for instant playback, does this still exist, and if so what is it?

Alternatively any other suggestions are welcome!

 

Thanks

Can't render whole sequence in one pass

I have a sequence that is  23:00 long.  I select the entire sequence and hit "render in-out." It works for over an hour but only the first 2 minutes or so are actually rendered.  I have to repeat this process many times, progressively chosing a new section until the whole sequence is rendered. I'm on an iMac with Catalina 10.15.7 running MC 2020.9. Any ideas?

I was adding buttons to my timeline with the Command Palette and accidentally overwrote the audio meter. I didn't realize it was gone until a few hours later when I started playing clips in the timeline and couldn't see the audio levels. Is it gone for good? I can't seem to find a way to bring it back without starting over with a new user profile.

MC 2018 – 2021 and 8.9.2 compatibility

I'm an Assistant Editor with a perpetual license for MC 8.9.2. I've been offered a few days on a job where the editor will be using a newer version of Media Composer (not sure which version, definitely 2018 or higher). Would I be able to do Assistant Editor work using 8.9.2 and still be compatible with the version the editor is using?

At some point, I'll switch over to subscription; but, since I haven't had any jobs up to this point where I had to use my own Avid license (I've always used work computers), I'm reluctant to give up my perpetual license until I get work that requires me to use my own Avid license.
