Re: Re-link bg music

If you restore the source file in its original, before the import, location, you'll be able to do batch re-import and thus get the media back in place without having to recut anything in the timeline.

Re: Importing from DVD

Andrei Zhitkov wrote:There is a slew of DVD-to-file converters, but, since you are not specifying the platform, I guess you are not looking for specific recommendations. Generally speaking, you should choose to convert to uncompressed video. Compered to any compressed format, Avid will handle that much faster and with least trouble. But your best bet is to use a DVD player with an SDI output, which will provide the most straight-forward operation and best quality.

I should have said that I'm using Windows XP Andrei.

Re: Problem with MC Activation on Mac

Andrei Zhitkov — 2010-02-14T14:37:40-06:00

Let's first make sure it's not just 'MC 4.0', but at least 4.0.4, and not "Snow Leopard", but MacOS 10.6.2.
The actual computer model is relevant, too.

Media Tool causes key information to disappear

superstring — 2010-01-18T19:13:14-06:00

I've seen this at 2 separate clients recently. After the Media Tool has been opened the start key numbers in some dailies bins will disappear and reappear randomly. When the key numbers are not appearing in the bin they do not show up in lists either. I was told by an experienced film assistant that this has been an issue for years. His explanation went something like this:

When the actual media files are created, the metadata containing information such as key numbers is embedded in the file. Sometimes it contains key information and sometimes it does not (or has wrong key info). When the bins are created the correct key number information is added to the appropriate column and this information will override the metadata. Any incorrect key information in the metadata is not an issue unless the Mediatool is opened and Mediafiles box is selected. At this point Composer is looking at the metadata information to create bin information in the Mediatool. Once this new bin information is created...

Re: exception: OmfiHPDomain_Init_Failed

Andrei Zhitkov — 2010-01-18T12:18:21-06:00

You have corrupted media database. Have Xpress rebuild the files. Open your /OMFI MediaFiles, find msmFMID.pmr and msmMMOB.mdb files and trash them. Do it for each media volume that you have. Next time Xpress starts those files will be recreated. Make sure the tape you are having trouble with is named properly, just alphanumeric characters.

Go to Settings > Audio Project > Input.
Select Windows Mixer for Input source
Go to Tools menu and open both Audio Punch-in and Audio Tool
Arm one track in Audio Punch-in. Speak into the mic and you should see the changing audio levels in Audio tool.

Re: Importing Files To Avid

Andrei Zhitkov — 2010-01-11T17:25:33-06:00

This is a codec problem. Avid is not able to decipher the data inside the source files.

Re: Quicktime export problems with Adrenaline

Andrei Zhitkov — 2010-01-05T16:45:24-06:00

This is typical and normal. I don't think I have ever seen Avid-captured material covering the frame with image edge-to-edge. It is editors' most common task to crop frames in any picture in picture situation. If you want to get rid of it in the QT export, you have to crop.

Re: DS 5 - SID problem

SID is inside of the .lic file. There is a dongle ID which supposed to match your dongle and there is a SID, which is just a number. They both are in the .lic.

Duh!
There is a separate installer for FlexLM on the distribution disk.
