[Avid-L2] Cloud Project Sharing

 

HI there

 

I wonder if anyone has done this successfully and how …

 

I primarily want project sharing over the internet so to the end user it looks like they are just on shared storage..?

 

Nothing complicated no streaming of media just bin locking…

 

Any Ideas?

Re: [Avid-L2] 1080p to 1080i

 

Depending on which version of MC...my safe bet is to complete the show in 1080p, do a mixdown, create a 1080i project and bring the mixdown in. Put it in a timeline and re-export as 1080i.

I do this because changing frame rates of a sequence with keys and other effects is a mess, and the system will try and transcode all your keys to the new frame rate.  Simpler to complete in 1080p, open the clip in a 1080i project and re-export.

Can't you just toggle the 1080P 29_97 project to 1080i 59.94?  I've been very 23.976 centric for a while but I though that was possible.  I would think if you toggle the project format to 1080I and refresh the sequence motion adapters it would do the same thing as opening it in a different project.  Perhaps I'm missing something here.

If you material is truly 29.97P then converting it to I will not change the fact that both Psf/Progressive Fields come from the same moment in time.  Converting to interlace will not change the fact that F1 and F2 are from the same moment in time.

I have had various hardware situations where a switch between progressive to interlace will cause a momentary glitch during playback.  This was most obvious when outputting to tape and punching in with the wrong setup on a deck but I think I've seen file base shifts because of this.

The one thing I learns about a year or so ago is Nat Geo does not want 2:3 pulldown on the 29.97I delivery masters.  They want 23.976 material to be transcoded to 2:2:2:4 cadence for delivery.  They know it's more stutter but it makes the web encoding easier.  The split frames of 2:3 material cause issues for them.  Perhaps if it was a solid cadence of 2:3 they wouldn't have so many issues but I bet they were getting a lot of the Avid motion adapters where the 2:3 cadence restarted on every shot.

UPDATE: Re: [Avid-L2] High Sierra + 18.5 = Sad Face

 



I just got a message on the Avid Editors of Facebook page,
from one of the engineers. The message was from Raff: 
"Our hardware Engineering is still testing the new MacBook Pro, 
as of the moment it's not qualified, we are aware of this issue."

Hope that helps someone else out there . . .

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

THANKS Bruno!
I'm downloading MC18.7.1 as I write this (was trying to launch 18.5, previously).
Possibly the latest MC release will run on OS 10.13.6 (MC currently 'qualified' for 10.13.5).

I'm hoping to be able to avoid having to partition or do any permissions wrangling..
I may have to always use an external HD for media, but I'll live.

I'll report back anything I discover.

Thanks again,

Benjamin

hopefully there's some magic you can work for the next release that will circumvent/solve this High Sierra issue.

It's a problem with the new security features in High Sierra. We've had a number of students at the film school where I lecture who have had the same issue with their new Macbook Pro's.

The answer is to create a new partition on your internal drive and make that your media drive.

This was covered in the Avid forums a while back. See....

https://community.avid.com/forums/t/182769.aspx?PageIndex=1

Marianna explained the problem and solution as follows....

"This isnt an Avid issue per se.........

The new security in high sierra along with APFS ( their new file format) is not allowing write permission to the boot partition. 

We tried to go around the permissions issue and basically had to re-install high Sierra as Apple really made it tough for developers.  BTW..... Its not a good idea to turn off the MAC OS security anyways.....

We have been advising customers to use the disk utility to create a partition for their media (off the boot drive).  This works fine and does not have any protection issues.

No need to change the external drives to APFS.  They are still plug and play with either format – APFS or Mac OS extended/journaled."

Hi gang!


1. I _know_ that I'm running an unsupported OS (10.13.6). It's what I'm stuck with since I just bought the latest MBP. MC is version 18.5

2. I'm attempting to change permission for the Internal HD, as I have done in the past with "regular" Sierra, and I get the message in the included picture.

3. I _was able_ to activate MC with App Manager, using the online method.

4. When I launch MC I get the error message in the picture.

5. [Shaking fist] Aaaappppllleee!!!

6. Any suggestions all?
