[Avid-L2] Re: Avid(ish) on an iPad.

 

Jamie,
Avid is aware of performance issues on iPad 1 devices and is currently working on a fix to be released via the App Store. Stay tuned.

Perhaps a little more design on the interface would at least vaguely relate it to MC, making the move up a little more comfortable. iMovie for the iPad looks like iMovie and FCPX reflects these products as well. Call it iMovePro or what you want, but it is a better branding move on Apple's part to make them all similar.

[Avid-L2] [BUG] - v6 Grouping Bug? Help?

 



Hi gang,

Is anyone else having issues with v6 and grouping by Aux TC?
I just got a message from a friend who related the following:

"I'm trying to group by aux TC but it just... won't... group correctly. Every time I put in the info, triple-check that it's correct, tell it to group, it groups by source TC instead! What the frick? I'm dying here."

I certainly have a workflow to help her that doesn't involve Aux TC, but I'm wondering if anyone has some suggestions.

TIA,

B

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Unity database files bug?

 

The local drive is fine. It's not the system drive. It's an extra internal. I can import QTs and create media to it. I have tried new project. I've tried new user. I've tried it on a second system. The only thing I have not been able to try is rebooting the Unity system. Time to give up and move on. I'll deal with it more on Monday.

[Avid-L2] Basic Mpeg Streamclip data rate?

 

I've got an HD show 1 Hour 5 minutes.  I output from the SNDX downconvert to our DVD recorder as a letter box.  The AE took the DVD into Handbrake and ripped an m4V file.  Then on her mac pro she is using mpeg streamclip to make a .mov h264 720x486.  The progress indicator on her system shows a data rate of 2.1 ish Mbps.  I also made a same as source QT out of the SNDX to the desktop on my mac pro.  Now I've logged into my mac pro with my MBP over gig ethernet.  I opened the the exported same as QT and set it export a quicktime h264 and set the size at 864x 486 to maintain the 16x9 aspect ratio.  On my MBP the mpeg streamclip progress indicator shows 530 Kbps.  Just curious why the data rate in this indicator is so much slower.  Am I misunderstanding this indicator?  I'm thinking it is the data rate of the file it is creating but is it just an indication of how fast the system is process?  I'm not usually dealing with these types of exports
that are going on our server to be accessed remotely and through Vimeo as well.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Unity database files bug?

 

The folder structure pre-existed on the local drive. I just put the media into the 1 folder. It did build the databases. I can tell, because I deleted the ones there and the timestamp on the ones it built is correct.

Re: [Avid-L2] Unity database files bug?

 

Yes. I dropped it into the 1 folder. And now it gets very strange. So I moved the media from the Unity to local. I didn't move any of the database files. I let the system rebuild the databases on the local. Media Tool does not see the clips or the media files. And then I did the trick where you drag the .mdb file to an empty bin and the clips populate but they show as being associated with media on the Unity. I'm totally baffled. This is a totally brand new .mdb file built on the local drive, not moved, not copied, not copied then rebuilt. When I moved the media I moved only the .mfx files. I didn't even move the Creating folder. I don't get it.

Re: [Avid-L2] Unity database files bug?

 

The Avid bin will always reflect the last known location of the media.

We never tried modifying the media folder name by adding anything after .#

Did you try it with a Snow Leopard system?
When you moved it to the local drive did you reconfigure the folder
structure to reflect a local drive structure (aka move the media out of
"computer name.1" folder)?

Re: [Avid-L2] Unity database files bug?

 

And even more messed up. I can't try the Unity reboot until later, so in the mean time I tried unlinking the files and relinking. Oh, they relinked. Relinked to the Unity volume. And the media isn't even on there. Buggy.

Re: [Avid-L2] Unity database files bug?

 

even more weird. So I moved some media off of the Unity and onto a local drive and deleted it from the Unity. I deleted the whole folder. Databases and all. But in the bin the clip is still listed as being associated with media on the Unity. The display is black and give the classic DISK_FILE_NOT_FOUND, but in the Drive column it's listing the Unity volume it was on. I tired relinking to the local volume. No dice. I rebooted the workstation. No dice. I have not rebooted the Unity. That may be next. This is very disturbing.
