Re: [Avid-L2] Bizarre Terrible No Good Bug in MC 8.4

 

Remember you can import elements of your setting into a new user.  My dirty little secret is I never rebuild my settings and in 15 years on Avid I've only been bitten once.  That had to do with grid settings for safe title etc...  IIRC from Ver 5.5 to 6 the grid turned black and I could not make it white.  Importing the grid setting from a new user in  6 to my grid settings alleviated the issue for me.  Now I'm not advocating my user setting lazyness but it's just the on the edge kinda guy I am. 

Joking aside you can bring in things like keyboard layouts into a new user to save some work.  If you do it one aspect at a time you can find out where the issue is cropping up.

I would truly be living in cardboard box underneath a highway overpass were it not for this magnificent list. Opening the same project with a new user reveals no such bug. Everything functions the way it should. So I suppose I'm creating a new user and remaking all my basic settings, etc.

Thank you!

Sounds like - (the classic Hullfish fix for everything) - corrupted user settings. Please start there. I know you're experienced David, so you've probably thought of this, but check if it's happening on a fresh user and check if it's happening in all projects. I'm on the same software and this is NOT happening to me.

This isn't that. I've been cutting on Avid professionally since the late 90's, and this isn't that. Not by a long shot. The bug is buried somewhere having to do with setting ins and out, because it's the hitting of "I" or "O", or setting it using the on-screen icon that immediately blows up the image in the Source or Record monitor. You can click on either monitor, and the image will flash briefly to the proper full frame, but then immediately revert back to the super-zoomed-in version.

It's maddening. I need an explanation of how this might be my fault, some setting I've mistakenly activated, or whether or not it's a bug, and possibly I should do a full reinstall.

Sounds like you are zoomed in on the image. I have zoom in and out mapped to 'command +/-'

With the record monitor selected use the zoom command to get it back to normal size.

Has anyone seen this? When parking the playhead on a cut, or when setting an in on a cut (doesn't matter if it's before or after a cut), or if you simply place the playhead at the first frame of a sequence, or any other g-damned place, the image in the Source monitor, or the image in the Record monitor will suddenly zoom in on the frame by maybe 500%?

And then, even using, say arrow buttons to back up or move forward a frame, the Source or Record monitor (depending which one you're working in) will flash the correct full frame as you hit the arrow key, but will then immediately revert to its hyper-zoomed-in frame, making it nearly impossible to tell what you're looking at. Even the triable in and out markers on the side of the Source and/or Record monitors are zoomed in. The whole damned thing is zoomed in.

Am I the only one this is happening to in MC 8.4? Or is this maybe some "feature" or setting I have inadvertantly checked somewhere?

I'm on Mac OS X 10.10.4. Never had this happen when on MC 8.3.x on the same OS.
