[Avid-L2] What prevents Avid Background Services from starting up?

 

Windows 7 - clean (everything else runs ticketyboo) 
16 Gb Ram
Media Composer 7.04 clean install (again oy)

  • Right click on Avid Background Services Manager/Start Avid Background Services (no go)
  • Windows Task Manager/Avid Editor Transcode Service is stopped/Right click, start) (no go)
  • Disable Avast Virus scanner (no go)
It appears to start (going green) and then it's right back to red.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Regards
Jeff

Re: [Avid-L2] Isis shared Media Network

 

I agree with Job. Our Avid ISIS affects our livelihood. The other one takes lives.

Re: [Avid-L2] any external recorder able to do 1080p60 10-bit 422 ProRes HQ?

And just to wrap up this thread... Camera guys spent an afternoon
trying to get the 7q with its new firmware to record the GH4's 1080p60
signal. I believe they needed to have an SDI to HDMI adapter in the
mix. No luck, unfortunately. The 7q would recognize the 1080p60 signal
briefly, then switch over to 1080p30.

So in practice, this doesn't seem to be working perfectly yet.

Cheers,
--Michael

RE: [Avid-L2] Re: Cinedeck recorders - any experiences? Also offline/online workflow questions.

 

In our market we sell Rohde & Schwarz DVS Venice for multichannel studio recording. Pinewood Studios have a number of them and we just supplied two more on rental this week.

 

It is much cheaper than EVS and more powerful and less flaky than the Cinedeck.

 

If you have one it also offers the ability to record all the channels into Interplay and check them in, just like Avid's Airspeed.

 

Which brings me to the big question; how come no one mentioned Airspeed yet?

+1 on that. They're very proud of their product and charge out the yingyang for it. For a single EVS system to have multiple codec capabilities costs in the tens of thousands of dollars extra.

It's not really weird when you take into account all of calls Avid receives from NBC and CBS.
They clearly do not have the resources to include any of these essential functions into the menu system.

Re: [Avid-L2] Motion Effects Editor and 5D slo mo question

 

I gave this a try today, but couldn't get it to work on MC 7.0.4 on OSX 10.9.2

Typed in the console:

   SetAMAQTForcedFrameRate true 23.976


And the console replied:

   AMAQTForcedFrameRate Settings: Enabled: 1. Frame rate: 23.976000.


So far so good. 

Then AMA-linked to some GoPro footage shot  1080p @ 59.94.
Sadly, it still shows up in my bin as 59.94, plays at normal speed, and has a motion adapter when cut into a sequence.

I was also unable to use Cinema Tools to change the FPS of the original GoPro .MP4 clip.   However the following worked well:

-Opened the GoPro clip in Quicktime Pro, and saved it as a reference quicktime.
-Cinema Tools was able to conform this reference quicktime as 23.976
-AMA imported the reference quicktime without problem -- it plays back as slomo with no motion adapter when cut into a sequence.  Audio plays normally at regular speed for the first half of the clip (out of sync, obviously.)

Compared to an AMA import of the original 59.94 fps clip, the only obvious issue I see is that the start timecode is 00:00:00:00 with the reference quicktime, while it is set to the file creation/modification time when importing the original clip. 

Cheers,
--Michael

I thought for AMA off-speed clips this worked:


SetAMAQTForcedFrameRate true 23.976

Type that into the console before linking and the incoming AMA clip will link in at the rate specified. Then when you want to put it back, type

SetAMAQTForcedFrameRate false 0

and it's back to normal. I think Job ter Burg posted that a while back. I always use Cinema Tools to conform, so I never tried it, but it's probably worth a try.

Last month, on my first Media Composer edit session in 7 years, with the director sitting next to me, picking takes (all shot on 5D), he says, "These scenes were overcranked. I need to see them as slo-mo." Uh oh.


The assistant had flagged these scenes as off-speed (59.97) and left them AMA rather than transcoding. Not sure what to do, I threw them in a 23.98 timeline, applied a Timewarp effect to slow them down to the intended speed, then dragged out the tails so we could view the full clips.

I assumed I was being stupid and ignorant for not knowing the easy workflow in Media Composer. Good to know there is no easy workflow. Avid: Really?

Re: [Avid-L2] YouTube or Vimeo Rip

 

On a PC, I use FreeMake video downloader. It'll let you download without re-endcoding all the versions of a given video that you tube has without re-encoding them. With a 1080p video that will usually be 10-12.

I second clipconverter... they also have an extension that puts the download interface directly on the video...

Re: [Avid-L2] YouTube or Vimeo Rip

 

I am clearly not up on all my interwebs video downloaders and the terminology.  What are these "whole channels" you talk about grabbing.  Are channels a Utube thing? I believe I've heard of a utube channel or some such thing.
