Re: [Avid-L2] "Failed to get the same temporal offset from the AMA Plug-in"/ XDcam H

 

Sorry, sentence was cut off it should read: I was told off the record that 10.6.6 works ok, but with 10.6.7 there might be some crashes.

Media appeared in bins & played back in app. But over time - say 2 or 3 launches of the app - it starts to get increasingly wonky. I've brought in 4 optical disks worth of media, into 4 separate bins. At certain point app won't let me open some of the bins and I get an "Exception: Failed to get the same temporal offset from the AMA Plug-in" error message. Also, the clips in the bins I can open play back really funkily, with odd horizontal blue line patterns.

Know that there was an issue with original field drive transfer to this working drive; one of the optical disk media sets/folders failed to transfer. I did a disk repair on the field drive and it seemed to correct itself. Is it possible there's some fatally corrupt bit of media that's messing things up?
