Re: [Avid-L2] Re: AUDIO ERROR - HELP

I thought I saw this error before and found this on creativeCOW. It's from
quite a while ago but you can give what they say here a go. Good luck.

*There can be several reasons for that message:

The message appears when trying to playback a sequence:
The sequence contains a bad edit, effect or master clip.
Using the normal open end play function will trigger the error when playing
back any part of the sequence because Avid is looking at the entire
sequence.
To find the problem area, mark a short In/Out point at the beginning of the
sequence and use the Play In/Out function instead (may need to be mapped
from Tools/Command Palette/Play)

Using this function, if the marked section doesn't include the problem, it
will playback normally.
If it does, the error will be triggered. After determining the point in the
sequence that is triggering the error, rerender the effect or match frame
the clip.
If unable to rerender, the effect will need to be removed and redone from
scratch.
If it is a clip, match frame the clip.
If it plays back without error, lift the clip and redo the edit from the
clip.
If the master clip does not playback in the source monitor, unlink the
master clip and redigitize or reimport the clip.

You might get this message when opening footage digitized in a film project
in a video project.

XDCAM files import, but produce an error on playback.
XDCAM footage shot using a variable framerate will not play properly within
the editing application. When XDCAM footage is shot at a variable framerate
(overcranked or undercranked), the camera places flags on the footage to let
the editing application know how to play back the footage. The application
reads those flags on capture. Since XDCAM is file based and the footage is
imported, the editor can't read the flags and therefore doesn't understand
how to play back the footage properly. Thus XDCAM footage shot at a variable
framerate (i.e. half speed, two-times speed, etc.) is currently not
supported.

To see if your XDCAM footage was shot using a variable framerate, try using
Sony's XDCAM Viewer, the Sony PDZ-VX10. You can download it from Sony here:
