Background

Avid-L was established in 1994 at Calvin College by Steven Koster.
It was created to be a forum for Avid users to meet, discuss, and share
information.

Avid-L quickly grew into the premiere on-line users group for
professional film and video editors. It was one of the earliest examples

of an Internet community, allowing hundreds of editors worldwide to
share their experiences and expertise with their peers. There was no
better place for a professional Avid editor to get such wealth of
informed professional advice.

At various times, individual subscribers volunteered services to the
group. Searchable archives were maintained by Germany's Berlin Users
Group as well as the UIUC. A tips & tricks list was posted by Andy
Birkhead of Innovative Edit. Wes Plate, a longtime contributor, not only

shared key techniques on his Web site, he also created a photo gallery
for members' portraits.

In 1997, several subscribers began a tradition of meeting in person at
the NAB trade show in Las Vegas. The first gatherings were organized by Jaime Fowler. In 1999,
Avid Technology itself began sponsoring these gatherings as an exclusive reception and seminar for Avid-L members only. In 2002, this changed to the "Avid Users Group" meeting.

By 1999, Avid-L boasted over 1600 subscribers, exhibiting a true
international scope with over 300 international members. The community
included participants from a wide variety of well-known corporate
organizations in broadcasting, technical, and content creation fields,
as well as and multiple local TV stations, colleges, and universities.

In 2000, Avid-L joined AvidProNet.com, and then, in 2002, was integrated
Into Avid.com.

In 2005 Due to problems with signal to noise ratio and abusive posters, the Avid-L2 was formed. A year later the Avid-L was discontinued by Avid.

At the middle of 2006, the L2 has around 1100 members, with plenty of "lurker only" members who simply use the web version of the list. The L2 is spam-free, by moderation and with Yahoo's tools and will remain that way. The integrated archives with both old L and L2 posts came on line recently as well at the University of Illinois. That can be found at http://archives.itg.uiuc.edu/avid/.

Cross-posting to the FCP-L is welcome, tho reply's will not flow back to either list necessarily- check your own email reply preferences. The Final Cut list is found at: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/FinalCutPro-L

Welcome, and Enjoy!

[Avid-L2] Old MC systems with current dongles

 

I have an old system in the back office, a Mac Pro 1,1 running Media Composer 5.5x, hooked to an ADVC converter. Once in a blue moon I fire it up to transfer old VHS tapes for friends. In the past it has worked with my MC dongles.
Drive died, re-installed Leopard and MC 5.5.5, the most current version of MC 5.5x. It won't recognize my dongle (current MC with Symphony) which has worked in the past. Did dongle updates kill support for older systems, or is there a specific version of MC 5.5x that is needed to work with current dongles?
I could move the setup, but it has always worked for me, and driven an old Adrenaline appliance that won't work on newer software.
Am I hosed? Any ideas?

Yeah, that makes sense. I'll try that if I can ever get back into my avid master account. OF COURSE it's not in the application manager. Why should it bE?. Ahrg.

Re: [Avid-L2] Aspera Amazon etc

 

S3 Browser is fantastic for doing multipart uploads with Amazon S3. Figure out how many simultaneous uploads give you top performance and segment your files accordingly. I've gotten Aspera-like speeds from New York City to us-east-1 doing something like 200 simultaneous part uploads.

Hi list,

So for a small shop that would like to be able to transfer large files to other facilities in other countries, what would you recommend?

I've been using WeTransfer and DropBox, but have in the past worked with facilities that provided transfers to and from their Aspera Connect Server, and that's really something.

Is there a similar solution for a small shop like mine, and what kind of $$ would we be talking about? On average I think I'd need to do two 100GB uploads per month.

Thanks for any tips.

Re: [Avid-L2] Aspera Amazon etc

 

The show in St. Petersburg (Russia) is uploading the Avid MediaFiles folder with all the MXFs and all the dailies bins to the Backblaze server. I pull them off Backblaze and drop them into my storage here locally (Los Angeles). I then back up all the media onto a separate set of drives, just for my own piece of mind. I'm just on Cable modem, albeit the (alleged) fastest service. It's not fiber or T1 but it works.

That's really interesting - I'm using back blaze to backup my family photo's, but even consider its use as an Avid media tool.  So are you backing up your entire Avid MediaFiles folder to/from backblaze?

I've found Aspera to be a little irritating, in that you need to install drivers.  Wetransfer suits my needs perfectly.

I'm doing a 21-episode TV show right now that's sending me DNxHD185X regularly from across the pond using Backblaze. It's relatively fast. Been doing about 1 TB per month. I stay ahead of the downloads so it hasn't been a problem. I've never used Aspera, etc., so I can't comment beyond my limited experience.

Re: [Avid-L2] Aspera Amazon etc

 

The specs of Google drive are great. The UI, not so much. I hope they
address this soon. I prefer the Dropbox experience, but it can't
compete in value with Google Drive for Business.

Hi Job,

I'm doing the exact same thing with Google Drive, between me in Tokyo
and a client in Australia. We do about 500GB per month, so I have a 1TB
Google Drive at $10 per month.

I made a Google account just for this, made the drive and sent my log in
credentials to Australia.

Works a treat, and is faster than everything else I tested, other than
really pricey options. On 1gb fiber here, I get transfer speeds of about
18GB per hour.
