[Avid-L2] Re: Saving seq in Symphony 4 takes 4ever

How big is your sequence? Unless you have an hour show with tons of sources and tons of effects, it shouldn't take long at all to save. How large is the actual bin? (check at system level)

What version are you on? The very early versions had bugs that caused long saves. (We're talking 1.x versions)

After major operations, like batch capture and rendering, Symphony autosaves. It will save every open bin that has been changed. That can include links. So lets say you decompose into a bin, and use that to capture. Every time you stop, it autosaves. If you also have the sequence in there, it will be saving a much larger bin. If you have the sequence in a separate bin and it is open, that bin will get saved also.

Because of this, I tend to only have the bins open I immediately need. If batch capturing, only the bin with clips to be captured open.

Also, what version of system are you running? With Symphony Nitris, you really need Vista 64 to not run out of memory all the time.
