- Thunderbolt 3 Ethernet adapters will not work with Avid NEXIS 19.12.x on Catalina. Thunderbolt 2 is fine. If you have a client system that uses Thunderbolt 3 and you need to connect to Nexis on Catalina, you will need a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter, and then attach your Thunderbolt 2 Ethernet adapter to that.

 

QuickTime functionality when running on a macOS Catalina system

Note the following regarding QuickTime on a macOS system:

What you cannot do:

  • MP4 export

  • Link to MOV or MP4 files using the following codecs: DNxHD with Alpha, Meridien, MPEG 50, DV, MPEG 4 (H.263), Apple None, Apple Intermediate, DVCPro, PNG*, or other formats that require a QuickTime Codec

  • Link to 3GP, 3G2, AU, AVI*, BMP*, DV, GIF, M4V, MID, MP2, MP3, MPE

  • WAV and AIFF import/export containing uncompressed PCM audio at 8 and 32-bit

  • Link, import or export QuickTime Reference, Same as Source

  • Link, import or export Variable Frame Rate (VFR) H.264 in MOV, MP4

    * Note this is just PNG in a MOV container; PNG image files will still be supported * AVI Import is still supported on Windows systems without QuickTime installed

    * Linking for BMP is not supported without QuickTime, however Import of BMP is supported without QuickTime

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 Groups.io’s tools and will remain that way.  

 

In 2019,  the Group has migrated to Groups,io from the previous Yahoo engine-   the Groups.io page  maintains the complete Avid-L2 archive.    The original Avid-L archive has been lost to the history of the interwebz.

 

Welcome, and Enjoy!

 

Extras!

With a Groups.io account tied to your subscription to the Avid-L2,  you can use the web features of the Group.

Re: [Avid-L2] MC on Catalina?

I beating up this new version with Catalina because I suspect that my university will move to Catalina for the next academic year and I need to know what's what. On my 'proper' setup, I am staying on Mojave for now. No reason to move.

Re: [Avid-L2] Stubborn renders that stay unrendered

Hi D,

I was on 2018.12.3 until late last year but on Win7. I'm not sure I understand what rendering upper VITC track is, but I've noticed this behavior when there are several layers of video with FX on them. I render the highest track that will render fully and then go back and render the uppermost.

Looking forward to other suggestions.

Re: [Avid-L2] Panasonic Varicam 35 AVC-Intra Native to Avid?

So did I misunderstand that Avid can only write to codecs that are native to Avid?  I had always thought that non-Avid native codecs could not be consolidated or rewraped as Avid mxf.  It sounds like I've misunderstood this or perhaps the ama capability to consolidate has been expanded.

XAVC can be either Long-GOP or Intra-frame. It is usually designated (XAVC-I or XAVC-L). There's also XAVC-S, also Long-GOP, for budget cameras.
 
Most likely Avid is giving you the choice of XAVC-I at those bit rates. Would be preposterous to have that high of a bit rate for Long-GOP, but I've been proven wrong before.
 
It is almost always the case that whoever provides Avid the codec API either gives them the ability to read/copy (consolidate) ONLY, or the ability to read/copy/write. Many AMA plugins are written just like this, often with a 'buy-to-enable-write' functionality.
 
So what does this all mean for you?
 
Consolidate if you like and you will be making nice Avid MXF media of your media. Mix down to the codec of your choice - if it is a sufficiently high bit rate intra-frame codec, you won't be losing quality, as most of those are nearly lossless at high bit rates (DNxHD, DNxHR, ProRes HQ, etc.). You can mix down to XAVC-Intra, but I feel it's only worthwhile to do so if XAVC-Intra is part of your delivery codec requirements. Otherwise, I would advise (as I almost always do) to mix down to the codec you are delivering to, and output Same As Source.

My curiosity is wouldn't it be cleaner to mixdown to the same codec that the source material is to avoid some sort of recompression?  The fact that I've done symphony color correction and the media is no longer just the OCN media might factor in.  Would Avid's internal workings convert the AVC-Intra to baseband or something to process the color correction element and then convert that to whatever the render/mixdown codec is?

Re: [Avid-L2] Panasonic Varicam 35 AVC-Intra Native to Avid?

I think I was conflating XAVC-S with all XAVC.  That makes sense I was just thinking staying in the same codec as the source would avoid what Netflix likes to call recompression.  Ultimately the 4096_)2160 mixdown is letterboxed into a UHD frame to make the delivery DPX files.  I've never understood why they don't want to take my original 4096_2160 for the DPX but they don't.  I guess the extra time to scale it to UHD became problematic on their end.

[Avid-L2] Stubborn renders that stay unrendered

Hi All,

I am on 2018.12.3, Mac 10.13.6 and seem to be encountering several cases where I render an upper VITC track and after the Avid takes its time, the section remains unrendered.

At times I've divided up the render until I got to a single frame which finally did render.

Any tips?

Thanks!

D.

Re: [Avid-L2] MC on Catalina?

Yeaaaahhh… I think I'm just gonna hang back for a little while here. Let it stabilize. Get the kinks worked out. I have such a stable system now on Mojave 10.14.6 that there is no immediate need to take the risk.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

Pretty good although I have logged a few issues. Look on the Avid Mac forum. Overall - fast and good to use with some caveats related to the 2019-2020 UI and 3rd part issues. If you don't have to run Catalina. stay off. 2020.4 will run on earlier OSs.

Re: [Avid-L2] Panasonic Varicam 35 AVC-Intra Native to Avid?

Guys, really? AVC-Intra is not Long-GOP, it's intraframe compression. AVCHD is Long-GOP, you might have been thinking of that.

Re: [Avid-L2] MC on Catalina?

Just starting. So far, my project from 2019.4 comes up fine, all media on-line, plays fine, bins mostly where I left them. Going to recover my user settings from a backup disk. 

My old Mac died, had to jump to a new one. If you can, go with Catalina 10.15.3, not the latest 10.15.4 as it has a few known bugs like hanging while transferring large files. 

The only odd thing at the moment is MC launches fine from Avid Link, but if I try to launch from my dock it hangs on loading BCC plugins. Anyone know why?
