[Avid-L2] For those with a recent version of MC
Is it possible to auto sequence clips with alpha nowadays?
Re: [Avid-L2] New Mac Pro with BootCamp?
You create a second partition using BootCamp and then install Windows on there. If you have VMware Fusion you can choose to boot directly into Windows, or to access your windows partition from within the MacWorld using VMware. It's a little bit faster using a real Boot Camp Windows installation on disk rather than a virtual machine using a VMDK file I think.
If you install Windows on a MacPro you can use an Nvidia card for Graphics 😉

Re: [Avid-L2] New Mac Pro with BootCamp?
I have seen the recommendation to bootcamp the new MacPro to avoid Catalina issues as well (from Key Code Media).
Having been a user of Bootcamp on Mac laptops and computers for years it seems like a good idea initially.
However, I recently tried boot camping a relatively new machine (MacBook Pro 2018) with Windows 10 and had nothing but problems. Google search revealed it to now be a common issue with newer machines. Finally had to use VMware to create a virtual machine, which isn't a viable solution for AVID since it runs on top of MacOS, and doesn't use all the resources of the machine.
I would make sure that Bootcamp works reliably before buying a new MacPro tower to use in that manner, possibly buy from a vendor that will set up the dual boot for you as part of the sale.

[Avid-L2] Avid hangs initializing Composer Windows?
I cloned my Sierra startup drive and upgraded to High Sierra to install Resolve 16. Resolve works but Avid MC 2018.12.7 does not. I've tried reinstalling. I saw a post from a fellow editor with the same issue using MC 2018.12.3 and I think he is on a PC. After I upgraded the OS I don't recall if I launched Avid to check. It was after I installed the AJA Hi 5 4K Plus and it's control panel that I tried to launch avid and it hangs at initializing composer window.
I found this thread from early 2019:
I have to run the Nvidia Driver to get the system to recognize the TitanX GPUs in my cyclone microsystems expansion chassis. I'll try going to the native gpu OS driver just to see but I'm wondering if anybody else has seen this. Is there some mystery file that needs to be removed?

Re: [Avid-L2] MC Creating Media as ARRIRAW MXF's rather than standard Avid MXF's
I believe this happened to me once when I installed ARRIRAW Converter. The OS then made it the default program to open MXF Files, resulting in the icons changing.
Don't think it's harmful, but if you want to change it, just Get Info in Finder on one of the files and change it to Media Composer. You can elect to make this the default for all MXF files.
