If stuff is moving around, then Avid has to re-link to all the media. If
it's the same media but on different drive mounting points, it will always
be found in the old fashioned Avid Mediafiles Folder. Most people use AMA
for quick turnarounds not extended editing in my experience. You could also
find a way to have your drives mount the same way everytime. I would just
consolidate.

Subject: [Avid-L2] MC 6: Exception: A serious error has occurred!
I've been running into a hell of a lot of problems with MC601 and AMA
losing all my files. Every single time I relaunch the program I end up
spending at least a half an hour relinking the files. Strangely the
project hasn't changed drives, but most likely letters (I'm on Windows 7).
Anyway, i found this work around at the avid forums, but it just gets old.
Was wondering if anyone had heard any better?

I have found this error to occur most often on projects that have been
moved from one drive to another, or from one computer to another. Not
exactly sure why, but it has to do with AMA not being able to correctly
link up to the original files on the drive. There is a workaround, although
it is rather annoying:
*[1] Go to your source/record and timeline and turn OFF video monitoring
(so that all you see is black).*
*[2] Open up ALL of your bins that contain AMA material. This is sort of
like giving Avid a kick in the pants to go find those AMA files and link to
them correctly*
*[3] Close your bins*
*[4] Go back and turn on video monitoring and edit away*
The reason you want to make sure to do step #1 is that if you don't you'll
get the "serious error" over and over and over again, as it tried to
refresh the video display. The annoying part? You may need to follow this
procedure every... single... time you open the project.
