[Avid-L2] Re: Now Pan & Zoom Issue Mac vs. PC experience

 

You are currently SOL on MC 6 with Stage Tools Moving Pictures as per an exchange I had with Bill Ferster. He said they would have a 64bit version by the end of year but because of the move to 64bit and having to go from AVX 1 to AVX 2 the upgrade will be $249.00. I also prefer MP to Pan and Zoom but I inherit pan and zoom all the time from offline so I need it to work. Also it is quite a chunk of change to sell the bean counters to purchase MP for 20 offline bays when Pan and Zoom comes with Avid. Better doesn't work with the bean counters and for now it's a moot point until MP is updated.

I can see the keyframes and the move is there but I can't get a dialogue box when I hit the import image button. If I drop a new pan and zoom effect on from the effects pallet I can import the image. I assume this is due to the underpinnings of 64bit QT and 32bit QT on the mac side. This is just a guess based on the windows needing to use something other than QT for import in a 64 bit world. On the PC side do you get the basic effect with the keyframes and just can't import an image into it. That's what I'm seeing on the mac side. It sounded like on the pc side the pan and zoom was comming up as an unrecognized effect or something. Avid this NEEDS TO GET FIXED PRONTO!!!! IF NOT SOONER. At least it seems like a relatively easy fix on the mac side since the move appears to come through. I did try promoting the sequence both with and without the avx 2 option and the results were the same.
