Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Trouble stopping a playing sequence (sometimes)

Yes, the Wacom is the culprit. I think sometimes the USB extender can be the source of the issue. I know that one place I typically work, some suites support the Wacom and some don't, but they're all using the same OS, the same MC version, and the same tablet drivers. All their CPUs are remoted to the machine room, so at least in that case, it seems there's some issue with hardware, perhaps cable length or proximity to the control room.

Hmm, as a matter of fact, I do have a Wacom Intuos 3 and have updated the

drivers as they became available beginning with the first Snow Leo-compatible

driver from Nov. 25, 2009 (we bought my Mac Pro/Adrenaline at the end of

December, which is when I started using MC4). I can't specifically remember if

I had this issue with that driver, but as soon as I get the opportunity

(probably next week), I'll uninstall the current driver and install November's &

see what happens.

Thanks for the advice! I'll post again here once I've done that and had some

time to kick the tires on the old driver.

You need to use an older wacom driver. The last time I had to go for a two year

old driver on a pc. There has been a bug with the newer wacom drivers that

makes avid keep playing when you hit stop and it's somewhat random. I've had

the problem on pcs not on macs.

happily editing along, hit play, hit stop (Space Bar) at the right point, but

Composer keeps playing. I end up pressing the space bar a bunch of times while

clicking in the time line both amongst the clips (Smart Tools not enabled) and

on the TC bar at the bottom of the timeline. At some magical, random point,

Composer gets the message and stops, then spends a little time executing all the

crazy commands I just gave it. I don't remember if this happened in an HD

project or not; currently I'm working in a mostly SD format project, but this

problem also happened in full SD projects in v4. Any thoughts?
