Re: [Avid-L2] MC7 - Disappearing Bin Contents

 

If you want to e-mail me a bin or two, feel free...however I won't be able to get on my avid until very late tonight.


Have you tried creating a new project and dragging one of the bins into it?

Mac,
Stand alone system.
Not backed up - but the bins in the attic exhibit the same behavior.

Mac or PC?

Unity/Isis or standalone ?

If Mac, are your projects backed up by Time Machine?

For what it's worth, about 12 years ago -- a year before founding EditShare -- I was experimenting with having two XPress Pro Windows workstations working off the same network volume.  Both were writing to that volume  -- one was capturing, the other was rendering, and both happened to finish their writing activities at the exact same moment. All of a sudden, both Avid applications went "poof" in tandem.  They just vanished from their respective screens.  When I went to open up the Project I was working on, the bins themselves were all there but every one of them was empty, and so were all of the bin copies in the Attic.  On both workstations. It was as if, hidden deep within the application, there was some self-destruct code that I had tickled. 

Fortunately I had backups from a couple of weeks earlier but I lost two full weeks of work, a couple of days before a rough cut was due for Frontline. It was not fun.   

I reported this "bug" to Avid but nothing ever came of my report. 

I hope this didn't happen to you.
