Yet another problem with Avid Knowledge Base

Thursday, 05 March 2009 17:19 Andrei Zhitkov

If you have an Avid question but not Avid Assurance and therefore Romania won't take your call, you might have to dig for the answer at Avid's Knowledge Base, a.k.a. KB. The KB can in fact be a treasure chest of most useful information, but it may prove to be excessively difficult to find its key. One of the main reasons so many have little luck finding answers in KB is actually not ever improving but still inadequate search technology but the human factor. Here's a case in point.

What bugs Avid not

Wednesday, 04 March 2009 16:02 Andrei Zhitkov

The new version of Media Composer - 3.5 - is out, which means end of development for the 3.1.x line. This is significant in one little aspect.

Back in v. 3.1 I noticed something that was really hard to miss: if there was a FireWire deck connected to the computer, you'd get a C++ Runtime error right after you quit the application. it read: "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. Runtime Error! Program: ...ramFiles\Avid\Avid Media Composer\AvidMediaComposer.exe. R6025. - pure vertual function call" OK.

MediaNet 5.1 real-life performance tests

Wednesday, 25 June 2008 20:35 Andrei Zhitkov

There are many requests for information on Unity performance under real-life conditions. There are few instances when exact setups can be duplicated for different installations, which may be the main reason why Avid doesn't really get into the business of predicting MediaNet's performance under this or that set of circumstances and rightfully so. Nevertheless this intended series of postings may be valuable to get a general idea of what should be expected from a particular configuration. I will be publishing and updating results as they become available.

Avid Forum is a free resource for Avid professionals and those who inspire to become one. The fast-developing world of digital video editing has become more user-friendly but yet very demanding to keep up with the technology.

Nowadays, few regard editing in its traditional sense of storytelling. There is a whole lot to it. From acquisition to delivery, editors and supporting technical personnel have to be versed in many adjacent fields. It is our hope that Avid Forum becomes a valued resource in pursuit of individual professional growth.

Professional Directory and How to Use It Best

Sunday, 13 April 2008 17:53 Site Administrator

Avid Forum launched Professional Directory. This article aims to explain its usage.

Long in the making, the Directory is ready. Mostly. A Web developer's work is never done. I am still considering adding ability to attach files like Acrobat or Word, but not sure if there is any demand for this feature. Well, when in doubt I'll just ask. Meanwhile, here's a run-down of whats implemented.
