[Avid-L2] MC 5.5 crashes while loading AudioSuite plugins.

 

Hello everybody
My MC 5.5 gives me an Access_Violation when I open the Audio Suite. It
loads to 98% and then the error pops up. Afterwards it says DAE not
connected.
In the console it says:
Exception:@ Sun Feb 03 08:06:18 2013* Exception: Structured Exception,
ExceptionCode:0XC0000005, ExceptionString:ACCESS_VIOLATION,
FaultAddress:00000000,
MiniDumpFileName:59c439fa-81bf-4e4d-a2e0-e6b09e95551a.dmp

It was working fine a couple of days ago.
Any tips to solve this?
Jeppe

[Avid-L2] Formatting external media drives — can case sensitivity cause problems?

 

Some students of mine have been editing with firewire drives that were formatted as Mac OS Extended, Journaled, Case-Sensitive. Running Media Composer 6.03.

Does anyone have any definite info on whether Case-Sensitivity can cause any problems? (I know many people go un-journaled, but I've read that journaling per se should cause no major problems.) One student is having some media management troubles. I won't go into detail here because I have a hunch it's related to other issues. But it made me wonder about the Case Sensitivity question.

I know that ProTools does not support this format but I have found no guidance from Avid in regard to formatting drives for media composer. Just curious if anyone knows.

Thanks
Mike

Re: [Avid-L2] AMA and C300

I downloaded another driver as I last did this in MC 5.5 and now in Mountain Lion and 6.5. Changed the root folder to Canon and then replaced the producers label with original numbers and that folder came in. Now having producer get original numbers to all folders. It should work as it did the first folder if Im right.

thanks for suggestions.

Re: [Avid-L2] AMA and C300

 

Tell me tomorrow if it's done or not.
Got work done to restore / copy (partial) files on almost any format, so i
should be able to figure out what needs to be done.
(Not now, as i'm watching Cowboys and Aliens (found out too late Spielberg
was involved...), and after that i need some sleep..)

Re: [Avid-L2] AMA and C300

I worked with C300 files on a Symphony 6.5 with no issues. Could it be that you are pointing to the wrong level of folder? I believe you need to point to a level above the CONTENT folder, or whatever it is that you copy of the cards...

From my slightly fuzzy recollection, I created folders on a RAID with the name of the card or camera (like CAMA1, CAMA2, CAMB1, CAMB2, etc. Then I placed the CONTENT folder (or whatever is on the root level of the actual card) inside that folder, then in Symphony, I pointed to the CAMA1 folder, not the CONTENT folder.

Re: [Avid-L2] AMA and C300

Hi Lou,

I remember adding to a discussion here not too long ago, and on researching
it, found you yourself posted with some success:

A good tutorial here:

I have a drive full of files from a Canon C300. AMA won't bring them in. Sym 6.5.2. I went to the Avid site and supposedly have all the necessary AMA plugs. What is the trick to this voodoo? When I try either nothing happens or I get the standard error which I can't repeat as Im not in the room right now.

Re: [Avid-L2] Isis Media Composer using AVXIntra as editing codec?

Agreed. My personal DSLR records AVCHD and it looks great, but I always
transcode to DNxHD to edit.

Re: [Avid-L2] Isis Media Composer using AVXIntra as editing codec?

 

The data rate is much less of an issue here than the CPU overhead in decoding and displaying the AVCHD as you edit. AMA link, subclip selects and transcode to an Avid codec. A much better experience.

Re: [Avid-L2] Isis Media Composer using AVXIntra as editing codec?

Yeah, AVCHD is not good at all for editing. If they want you to work to
that, it's not gonna be fun.

AVCHD = long GOP interframe compression
AVC-Intra = intraframe compression, all I-frames, no GOP

You're on the right track with DNxHD 45.

Re: [Avid-L2] Squeeze levels

This won't help you much, but I have Symphony 6.0.3.2 and the version 8 of
Squeeze that came with and I do not have this issue. As long as I feed
Squeeze a full scale file, blacks coming out look like what went in.

What H.264 encoder are you using? I've had success with both Main Concept
and x264. Does the same problem happen with Compressor or MPEG Streamclip?
