This may be a function of using unsupported OS/MC combo but I thought I'd see if anyone else has seen this.
Brand new MBP, fully tricked out (2.8GHz i7, 16GB RAM, 1TBSSD) ElCapitan 10.11.6
Media Composer 8.6.1
I am prepping an edit of a doc. Mutliple frame sizes from HD to 6K. Almost all of it at 29.97. (Drones, underwater, RED, F5 and much more)
The plan was/is to AMA everything, get it all organized and get metadata all tightened up. Then transcode to low bandwidth DNxHD and/or DNxHR codecs for the editor. It's being onlined on a Symphony by someone else. We've chatted and got our organizational priorities aligned.
The problem I am running into is when using the source browser it will frequently RainbowBeachBallofDeath and spin ad nauseum. I've given it lots of time to recover but no dice. This only happens when I touch, not link, just select, an actual file as opposed to a folder. I have to force quite to get it back again.
For instance, I drill down on any one of the camera folders on the source HD and try to find the folder that will allow me to link to the media and not give me the, and I'm paraphrasing here, "theres no media in this folder that I recognise" warning that you get if you choose a folder too high in the file path. Go too far down, just selecting a file that's not a folder, gets you the RBBoD.
Anyone else?
