stuttering play, with new more powerful computer

$
0
0

Hi all.

For years I've been editing on an iMac from late 2012, but finally got too fed up with slowness.

This past week I installed a shiny new 2020 imac 3.6ghz 10 core with the best possible GPU (5700XT with 16gb).  I've been surprised to see that on a sequence with a simple HD AMA clip and a title on it, I'm still getting the dreaded yellow and red lines above the timeline causing playback stutter.  Someteimes even after rendering.

Surely this cannot be and there are some settings I can adjust.

Does anyone have some tricks up their sleeves to get rid of this annoying problem?

FYI I have it on the yellw/green quality view setting.

Thanks,

Brad


Media Composer First priority over Media Composer?

$

Hi all,

 

So I've been having a tough time getting my Media Composer subscription to work properly on my computer (PC). At first, I could not get MC to activate through Avid Link. It would give me the option to, but nothing would happen. It would only repeat the process in an endless loop. So then, I chose the option to run MC | First. At the very least, that would open. However, now that I want to try to open up the full software again, I cannot get Avid Link to recognize that I don't want to run MC|F. I click the 'Open' button on MC but it launches MC|F without any input from me. I cannot launch the trial version of MC through MC|F either. I'm at a loss! I have a valid subscription, but I'm stuck with the demo. I also cannot deactivate my license.

cloudux-starter-kit bug

Since about a week we have been experiencing difficulties when running cloudUX locally through the cloudux-starter-kit package.

The problem is that after building and serving cloudUX by running npm start in the command-line, it will show a command-line error a couple seconds after we open cloudUX in our browser. The error is the following: 

 

 

TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined

    at C:\dev\services\mediacentral-cloud-ux\node_modules\cloudux-starter-kit\lib\connector\config\webpackDevServer.config.js:121:51

 

When checking the webpackDevServer config at line 121, it seems that manageris undefined in data.config.app[0].manager[0].$.portwhen trying to get the player config from /icps/player/ICPS.html5.conf.

 

This is the full config response we are getting:

 

<config>

       <app>

              <keyboard enabled="false" />

       </app>

       <deck>

              <ui>

                              <quality key="playback.quality.high" value="80"/>

                      </quality_list>

              </ui>

 

              <default_volume value="100" />

     <audio sample_data_size="4096" />

              </playback_frames>

       </deck>

 

</config>

 

 

Does anyone know if anything has changed in the response?

Any possible solutions for this problem?

 

Thanks!

MC install runs in loop

$

We just reinstalled MC to fix an issue. Installation runs in loop. Installs software. Reboots. Says Windows is updating for MC. Finishes. Click on MC to open. Starts again into Windows updating for MC. When rebooting machine. It all starts over. 

We CANNOT access MC at this point. And, we have deadlines today with clients waiting. 

This is happening with 2021.3 and 2021.6. This should not be this hard. In all the years of using this sofware I've never seen it do this. 

Any thoughts on this? 

Customize marker colors

Can you create the option to customize marker colors using the color palette? Just like you can do by pressing alt on clip color to pull up more options for color coding. It would be helpful to have more color options when marking up dialogue on a scene with an ensemble cast and I'd like to assign specific customized colors for each actor beyond the default marker colors.  Thanks!

 


MC 2021.6 Unable to Edit Effects

After updating to MC 2021.6 on macOS 11.4 (Big Sur) clicking into Effects mode produces a blank Effects Editor window.  If I restore the default workspace, I am able to edit the effect.  Click out of it, though, and the issue returns.

MC window behind Apple dock

Since updating to 2021.5 Avid now opens behind my 'always on' Apple dock (see attached screenshot for clarifcation) and I have to always manually resize the workspace to leave space at the bottom of the screen for the dock.

Avid used to always open and sit above the dock but for whatever reason something has changed and I can't figure out how to auto open with space for the dock. Saving workspace settings after resizing the window doesn't seem to work. I'm sure there's a simple fix, but I can't seem to find it - can anyone help me out? Thanks! 

 

Applying a colour template to multiple tracks

$

A tricky one here.

I cut a feature with 4 different video layers.

I opened colour correction and made some adjustments to make the colours pop. I saved it as a template to my bin. I highlighted all the tracks and then t'd up all my video tracks so they were highlighted. I double clicked my CC template in my bin to apply the colour to all the video.

It did apply it to all the video, but for some reason all my footage on V2 moved back about a second.

 

My sync lock was turned on.

 

I tried doing it with my audio not highlighted as well

 

Same thing kept happening.

 

If I applied them one at it worked, but not when highlighting all and double clicking the template. Took me forever to apply each one individually.

 

Anyone ever come across this before?

Greetings.  Got 2020.4 loaded.  Quicktime Reference Export is no longer an option.  I have not found any Avid literature that offers a replacement solution.  I liked the very fast QT Ref export, then Encoding in Sorenson.  What is every's workflow now?

Only thing it will let me Output from within Avid is Fast Export Quicktime....

Thanks for sharing.  

 

Avid background services do not work...

Hi all,

 

Is anyone successfully using avid background services for transcoding/rendering timeline? I've never ever ever been able to get it to work on any of my systems, or at my colleges' qualified systems.

Background services in the tray show two red arrows, Avid background service status in MC shows a red dot, and the background queue is stuck on processing.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Prores RAW support vs Canon Raw & XAVC SI

$

Hi! 

we are working with a DP considering to shoot two types of mirrorless cameras for his next shoot: Canon R5 and Sony A1.  

he is asking us which flavor of footage we can fully support during the editing process and I have to say I have no clue as I didn't work with these before.

His options are 8K Canon RAW, Sony's Xavc s-i and/or ProRes RAW recorder from an Atomos recorder. 

I know Atomos can deliver proper DNxHD but it seems he'd rather shoot with ProresRAW instead.

The questions are : how well are this file formats supported in Media Composer?

- Does ProResRAW offer the possibility "to control WhiteBalance ISO and these other settings in post like in Final Cut"? 

- What about Canon RAW? Does Media Composer allow to work with the RAW settings? 

- Are there advantages editing-wise for us to get ProRes RAW instead of Canon Raw or XAVC SI ?

I personally assume that XAVC SI will behave as XAVC footage I've previously worked with from other types of cameras but I just don't know how much latitude RAW will offer as I don't know of any RAW processing module integrated to media composer.

Would be grateful to have some insights! 

 

Color tool disappears

I have just upgraded to 2021.6.  I'm working on a project with lots of color corrections, and the tool suddenly has disappeared. I can get a version of the color tool to appear if I click Effect Editor, but it isn't the same vertical layout I'm used to, and it goes away if I click somewhere else in the timeline.

What can I do to get it to the format I'm used to?

Avid Media Composer crashes Windows upon exit

Dear Avid Community,

 

We have a strange issue with one of our Avids, upon exiting the software windows gets a blue screen crash and reboots. We tried reinstalling the entire System, reinstalled windows and Avid Softwares and drivers, but the issue stays the same. Then we noticed, that Avid won't crash if we deactivate the external hardware (Nitris DX).

Is this a known bug? And if so has anybody found a fix or workaround for it?

 

Kind regards

Tobias

Does anyone know if or how SHUTTER can export a dual mono MP4 from an 8-track Direct OP1a?

Does MC provide a way to make a dual mono MP4 as well as an OP1a with 8-Track Direct audio at the same time?
