We are pleased to announce the release of Media Composer v8.6.5. Media Composer v8.6.5 will be released today, Monday, November 21st , 2016 at 12 PM EST. This update will be made available from My Avid Master Accounts, Application Manager, and the Avid Download Center (login and password required).
This update includes the following features:
- Support for BlackMagic Design Desktop Video v10.8
- Automatically generated folders no longer show up in the Bin list in the Project window
- Create Bin Based on Folder: You can now create Bins based on the Folder where the source media is located.
Also in this update are a number of bug fixes, including:
- You might have received an "AudioStreamReader" error when shuttling backward with the J key
- You might have received Exception errors when transcoding OP1a files to another format.
- After performing a Send to Playback with "always transcode" enabled, the original sequence was only linked to the .new transcoded clips.
- Locators at the same timecode value were lost or hidden from view in some instances.
- If you deleted a restriction in Media Central, any subsequent restrictions at the same location in the clip did not show up in Media Composer.
- When working in a Japanese locale, a number of menus were grayed out.
- If you had a bin with audio effects in a Media Composer v7.x system and you tried to open it in a Media Composer v8.6.2 system, you might have received Exception errors.
- A batch import would fail with an "Exception: Cannot quick import a mixed resolution QuickTime movie" error if you were performing a batch import on previously imported decomposed master clips.
- In some instances, you might have received an "SFPlay Timeout" error when playing back an XDCAM EX .mov file.
- In some instances, Wav files were imported with incorrect timecode.
- Sequences playback slowly if they contain clips which had been created through Avid AREMA AMT Service and Agent.
- If you checked in a group clip where the audio was longer than the video, the timecode format for the duration was wrong.
