I love that I can SEE the SourcePath of files that are buried deep inside multiple Folders. I love that I can set up a WorkSpace linked to a "SourcePath" Bin Layout...
But I do wish there was an equally wonderful way I could take a massive BIN of various SourcePaths and have the AMA and/or Transcoded masterclips appear in the Avid Project Bin which mimics the original Folder Structure. Then I would have the best of both worlds...
We have shared storage that is connected via ethernet and also thunderbolt. When a project is worked on via ethernet and then accessed via thunderbolt all of the linked media goes offline. We think it's an IP address problem, but do not know how to fix it. All our worstation eventually will be working via thunderbolt, but we may still need to access old projects. Any help would be appreciated.

What is the recommended replacement product?
What is the current (and cheapest) upgrade path to Titler Pro 5? I have a Symphony perpetual license, which I believe entitles me to Titler Pro 2. (Why does the non-perpetual annual support include 2.5?) The first few versions of Titler Pro were very unstable, so I never went back to it, but I've been reading good things about Ver 5.
As the titles says, please add Tangent Element support on Symphony. This panel is the most popular, most used across application for color grading, and most suites are equipped with one of these.
I have found the "First" version of MC to be OK for my needs (retired broadcaster, but still need to produce some videos). However, I've run into a problem with sync - either there is no way to change the sync (simply change the timimg/position btwn video and the accompanying audio tracks) or you've hiden it so well I can't find it.
I need to "slide" the audio tracks on some subclips to correct lip-sync from a webinar - the sync being off on the original video due to the YouTube Hangouts Live recording mechanism losing sync occasionally in its over-the-Internet system.
In the "old days", with my DPS Velocity Editor, I would simply unlock the clips, slide the tracks, then relock the tracks in the new position - finished.
With MC First, I can only move unlocked tracks to a new segment position. There doesn't seem to be any way to make minute or infinite adjustments...
Any ideas?
Shame on Avid.
When I log in to the account the 50 systems for which we had dongles indicate:

We already had system IDs. The support contract didn't expire yet!
Even if it did, the versioners should still be available for whatever license we are eligible for.
I'm stumped on an issue involving the RED AMA plugin. After weeks of searching and coresponding with Avid Support, i'm left puzzled on why some of our Z400's load the plugin and others do not.
Our Z400's are all spec'd identical both in Hardware and Software. We have footage that was shot with a newer RED Cam that requried us to upgrade our RED AMA plugin from v 1.11 to v 1.19.0.1000 on Media Composer 7.0.5 in order for it to AMA properly.
Several of our Z400's have no trouble loading the plugin during the startup of MC. While others fail to load the plugin at all. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as incrementally stepping through each version of the RED Plugin linked in the version matrix on the RED AMA Plugin support page. I've also tested versions of MC 7.0.5 - 7.0.7. As a last hope effort, I recently reformated one of the Z400's, installing MC 7.0.7 from the ground up and only installing the RED plugin.
I'm unable to determine why the plugin will not load on MC startup. I test to see if the plugin loads by running the "ama_listplugins" command in the console.
Does anyone have experience with this issue or know how to get a verbose log of MC during its startup to see why it is skipping over loading the plugin. No errors are presented when it fails to load the plugin.
System Specs:
Avid Qualified HP Z400, Xeon W3540, 12 GB RAM, Quadro FX
3800, Win 7 SP1
Note:I've also loaded the plugin on non avid qualified laptops and qualified Z800's and it successfully works on MC 7.0.5 - MC 7.0.7 with RED AMA plugin v 1.19.0.1000 on both Windows 7 and Windows 10 even though the Support page annotates that the version requires MC 8.6.
What is the max distance that I can cable between the Avid Switch and the ISIS server. I'm wondering If I can have the switch in one location and the server in another. Distance is probably about 75ft. Jus thinking out loud but would a appreciate a response.
I have a very large two hour sequence edited and ready for draft output. The files in it are a combination of AMA'd files of various formats - dv, mp4, and so on. Some small ones have been imported, most have been transcoded to dnxhd 50. There are a few photo montages with images as well.Most of the original video was standard definition.
What is the best way to go about transcoding to higher resolution files and getting it exported? This is the first time I have exported anything substantial from avid. THere are so many files it would be great if I can only transcode what is used in the sequence.
THe final output is DVD, ntsc.
I am under a deadline and would be very grateful if someone could get me on the right path here and also help to avoid pitfalls. I'm under a lot of pressure and am anticipating nightmares. It would be great to draw on someone's experience to anticipate any pitfalls.
Posting this now in hopes of a response but I will continue to look for the answers online and in documentation.
Thank you
It's probably worth mentioning that I also have a 25 FPS photo montage created by someone else and have to figure out the best way to handle it.
Beware, two of our edit suites have automatically forced a windows update to a new build today, even though windows update was disabled in services.
Tad annoying, as it messes up a graphics driver, which then needs reinstalling.
I don't know anything about notebooks, so here my Q:
Which is a reasonable priced notebook to do some editing and A LOT of Adobe CC work on?
Must have
* 15"-17" display
* SSD bootdrive (and preferable an intern HDD in addition)
* min. 16 GB ram (more is better of course)#
* fast graphics card (Quadro series is NOT a must) & fast processor
What about the HP ZBooks?
Refurbished?
Thanks for any help and suggestions!
Subject line rpetty much says it all. I cann add it to a cart, but I remember usto renewal being an option previously when logging into my account and looking at my products page. Anyone have any input on this?
Thanks.
When working on effects heavy timelines, what slows me down more than anything is how long it takes to replace a clip which has effects associated with it.
With many effects I can step in an change the shot (which slows the Avid down in the processes).
But with things like Symphony CC effects, Motion FX, Frame Flex, LUTs, Audio Suite, levels and EQ, there's no straight forward way to replace a clip.
I've either got to save a preset and re-apply (ie: Audio Suite, Motion and CC) or write down the parameters and re-create the effect (ie: Audio levels, Frame Flex and LUTs).
I think there should be keystroke like the Replace Edit command to simply Replace the Clip but retain the associated effects.
Let me know your thoughts,
Jake
There should be an option to quickly refresh a media asset. For example, I changed an imported JPG. The only way seems to be deleting the media files and re-importing. Refresh would be much more convenient.
I've seen other editing applications that let you move selected clips from one track to another by hitting cmd/up & cmd/down. or alt/up & alt/down. super easy, super quick.
Is there any legitimate reason, why Avid is still not caching thumbnails? The feature of switching to thumbnail view has always been pretty much unusable this way.
It would be nice to be able to switch to system audio out even when using a hardware device for video.
