Seems there are still no EQ Presets in 8.9.4

These three images show that the EQ Presets problem continues despite being reported--and confirmed--here.

Can someone who has a valid EQ Presets folder upload their "Site_EQs_Bin.avb" folder so we can copy it to our systems.

It  seems reasonable that Avid do this!

NO BIN OPENS UPON A DOUBLE-CLICK OF Site_EQs_Bin.avb WHICH SUGGESTS THE FOLDER IS EMPTY.


Dupe Detection glitchy in 8.9.4

Hey all, can someone confirm dupe detection's spotty functionality in 8.9.4?  I was comparing some edits whilst prepping for color, and dropped something on track 3 that had duplicates but they didn't trigger DD... when I moved the clips onto track 1 the DD activated, when I moved the clips one frame left or right on track 3 it activated.... weird.

Ability to Copy/Paste FrameFlex settings to Bin/Clips

$

I understand you can copy a frameflex keyframe setting to another clip, but what I would really like is the ability to select a frameflex clip, and treat that effect like any other effect. Drag it to a bin, and then after selecting many clips, double-click on that frameflex effect in the bin and apply it to those clips. 

It would be awesome.  People would dance in the streets.  I can just see the fireworks and parades now.  

Format seems "stuck"

$

After reading another post about trying to change format I too have found a very strange issue.

My Format has always been 1920x1080. So how to I get 720x480?

Via page 23+ there are two ways: If LINK then first clip lets you change. If IMPORT then you can change. Fine.

I quit MCF.

But, now -- with no understanding why -- when I Create a new project it's 720x480.

So I assume this must be because it was previously set 720x480. So I try both LINK and IMPORT to change Format to 1920x1080.

 

Both work -- they change the current Project.

I quit MCF.

I create a new project and I assume it will be 1920x1080. Nope! It's still 720x480.

 

So I open a previous 1920x1080 project. And, yes it's 1920x1080.

 

So I create a new project, and it's still 720x480.

Now it's "stuck" at SD.

So, as a previous poster asked, HOW does one change the Format DEFAULT?

Here is the Export page. Same as it has always been -- wrong.

The AUDIO is NOT 48,000 Hz. And, it is not 24-bit.

It's 44.1kHz and only 16-bits.  I reported this in July -- how hard can it be to change this test?!?

 

At some point I got this Error message which is invalid I believe for FIRST.

Movie Format Incompatibility?

$
0
0

A lot of times, some of your self-made or downloaded movie files are not compatible with other players, editors, or devices due to the different formats and codecs. The situation is ubiquitous, and we have always received a variety of user feedback on the issue of movies format incompatibility, so for this situation, it is necessary to explain. First of all, unless you have a special demand, for the movie format, we recommend MP4 (H.264 / AAC). For one thing, MP4 is the most familiar format for most people, for another, MP4 can be compatible with most current devices. Of course, technology is moving on, the major software developers and manufacturers will continue to improve and solve the format compatibility issues, but we do not discuss this issue here. Then, the point is how to convert movie file to MP4 format

VTS Video Converter

What Is VTS?

Q: I have a DVD that I downloaded and it just gave me a bunch of VTS files and no AVI file?

Q: How do I get a video file VTS_01_1 VOB to play on my PowerPoint presentation? Window Media Player says it as an error.

Q: So I don't have the DVD anymore, I only have separate VTS files and want to put them onto the iPad. Is there anything I can do?

The VTS here does not refer to the .vts suffix name file but is the prefix name file that starts with VTS. It refers to the Video Title Set (VTS) files, which contains a large number of VTS IFO, VTS BUP, and VTS VOB files and these VTS files are stored in the Video_TS folder. These VTS files are not available and workable individually, and they are part of the structure of DVD directory, all of them have to be present. In order to play these VTS files, we usually combine them into one of our common playable video files, such as MP4, AVI, etc. Then a powerful VTS file converter is essential.(http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/vts-video-converter.html

Step 1. Run this program, you can see the interface as shown below. Here are three options: DVD Disc, ISO Image and DVD Folder. Here you need to click “DVD Folder” to load the new folder you just created for converting it to MP4. The VTS files converter will analyze and mark the main title automatically.

Step 2. A great deal of video & audio formats and hot portable devices will spread out after clicking "Output Format" profile. You just need to click MP4 under Video tab as the output format. 

If you have any question about this, just contact me or search the source. Enjoy it!

Using new sequence from mirrored project on another drive

$

I'm working with an international client.

A client sent me a drive with original media.  I've been working on that external drive all the way through fine cut.

For various reasons, I'm needing to send that original drive back to them with the Fine cut and the original media to them today.

However tomorrow I'm needing to do some final notes to create a locked cut.  So I've consolidated the project onto my homebase drives and I'm now working on that.

My question is if there is any way for me to just send them the new sequence in a bin, and for them to be able to make that new sequence work on the same project on the drive I"ve sent back to them?

 

Thanks in advance...

Hello:

I'm trying to reload my BCC Image Restoration Unit (version 9) into Media Composer 8.9.4, but they don't seem to show up in the Effects list.  Any ideas why not?  (worked on the past version of MC, on Sierra)

I'm using the standalone plugin BCCAVX902Mac64Bit_Units, on a 5,1 MacPro 8-core tower, running High Sierra 10.13.1.

Thanks,

JIM.

Well, I installed Media Composer first on my iMac the other day and it crashes as it's trying to load.  I seem to get an midi client error during the start up attempt but have no idea how that is happening.  I have Pro Tools 11 on my machine that I've been usiing for years if that helps.  Maybe something is affecting MC?

All these "computer" folders

$

Hi all

Is there any chance for you developers at Avid to hide these computer named folders in the project folder which is created as soon as a client connects to a project?

When like we, have up to 30-40 different clients connecting or has been connected to a project, it is very cluttered in the project window in MC with all these folders that really don't need to be visible there, it's just containing search data etc for each client.

We have projects that really need a lot of organization in term of having a lot of folders and BIN's, and to have these unusable/unwanted computer folders visible is just very frustrating...

Please put in some code to just hide them from the project window! Please..!
