Re: [Avid-L2] Clips relinking when added to timeline

I find it best to always keep my camera originals on a different drive (or workspace if using shared storage) than my Avid media. That way I can unmount the drive to ensure that nothing is going to link back mysteriously.

Re: [Avid-L2] Clips relinking when added to timeline

You might also try turning off 'Automatically link to volumes' (Link Settings>Link options). This really ought to be off by default.

[Avid-L2] Watch the BUG DEMO Video > Re: Fixes in TITLER PRO 6 and 7 in Avid MC Legacy 2018.12.10 (Jan 2020 release) and 2018.12.11 (last week's Apr 2020) / Mac

The Titler Pro 6 'Cyan Screen of Death' video was 17 minutes.  It saved NewBlueFX weeks of work.

Here is a 7-minute TP-7 (latest version) in Avid MC 2018.12.10 (2018.12.11 has been released last week, but I am staying on 12.10 to cure Titler bugs).

Please do not post this outside of our group – let's give NewBlueFX a chance to cure this.  I post it here to encourage you to list your bugs/complaints on Titler Pro 6 and 7.

Titler Pro 7's two major bugs: Demo Video (7min)

ENDLESS LOOP and STUBBORN CURSOR / Crashing Avid

OT: Re: [Avid-L2] My Beef With Avid’s Mr. T+ - Now Illusion memories

Oh man, Avid Illusion.  In the 90's I worked for Origin doing video for the Wing Commander series.  One day I get handed a BetaSP with a bunch of military footage on it and told 'make cool shit'.  I roughed some stuff in Media Composer, then used a Accom DDR to capture uncompressed footage.  I tried doing the finish in AE, but my OS8 Mac just didn't have the muscle.  So I borrowed a SGI 02 and taught myself Illusion making the finished videos for a combat flight sim game.  Someone put them on-line.  They are very rough.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX9gT6i0rDc

What I can't find are the video loops that played on option screens.  Some of those turned out really nice.

Re: [Avid-L2] My Beef With Avid’s Mr. T+

I have a dream too, or two: 1) a simple tool for simple titles, like the good old TitleTool. 2) Since the TitleTool is abandonware I'd find it rather elegant of Avid to release its source code to the public domain, for anyone willing to recompile it for 64 bit Mac/Windows, and maybe for greater than HD resolutions, if anyone would ever dream of doing that...

Well said.  It's not the end of the world really but it's those little things that drive me crazy.

And didn't Martin Luther King once say "He had a dream of node based FX editing in Avid?"  I could have heard that wrong in history class :).

By the way, Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!  Hope you're all surviving the apocalypse in style.

Re: [Avid-L2] My Beef With Avid’s Mr. T+

Node based FX would probably need a complete rewrite of the FX and playback engine. It would also break compatibility.

It is a nice dream though.

Re: [Avid-L2] My Beef With Avid’s Mr. T+

Everything you mentioned and more are the many reasons I stopped my Avid
evolution at 2018.12.10.

The issue is Avid lacking the good old common sense of adding instead of
replacing features.

Being old is not the reason.

Worst feature Avid has ever created.  Why would you turn it into an FX and loose the advantages a matte gives?  

Am I missing the Benefits?  Feels like lazy coding.

The following figures and items have been updated recently: If this message has been sent to you by mistake, please unsubscribe here. * = updated this letter Site Updates *Site-wide Updates: GoFundMe Thanks everyone who contributed!! $397 is a good start which is about 16.5% of my $2,400 goal: Support the site & newsletter here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/1xiuhwyj9c As the US has exited its exponential growth phase, "Doubling Times Reports" have been permanently archived: COVID-19 Doubling Rate Reports Facts of the Month (April/May 2020) - These are important science facts you should know: Case Fatality Rate (CFR) in the US seems relatively stable at 5.6%, Italy/Spain/France at 10-14%. Case fatality rate is the proportion of attributable number of deaths from a disease to reported (clinical) cases Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) (or mortality rate) in the US is still currently unknown with scientific certainty. Infection fatality rate (CFR) is the proportion of attributable number of deaths to all those infected (includes sub-clinical and asymptomatic cases) and is expected to be lower than CFR. This number can be estimated during an epidemic/pandemic from antibody studies. Mortality rate is the attributable rate of deaths due to a disease in a population (e.g., out of 100,000 people what is the risk of death for a particular disease). This number is not typically estimated until after an epidemic/pandemic. Transmission History & Discovery archives continue to grow: 612 events & articles as of today. New Featured Report section in the Newsletter (see below) Vaccines section expanded to include 9 clinical trials (see below) Stay-At-Home Orders Work: Preliminary data suggests states with Stay-At-Home orders are seeing significant declines in new infections compared to early-open states or states that did not implement Stay-At-Home orders (see below) COVID-19 Special Report: Preliminary Data Suggests Stay-At-Home Orders Work (Original Analysis): Using data provided from the New York times (https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data) I have conducted a simple statistical analysis on the rate of new infections (the % change in infections from day-to-day) for each state in the US. I've grouped these states according to their "Pact" status, re-opening status, and whether or not the state ever implemented an extended Stay-At-Home order (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/states-reopen-map-coronavirus.html) The conclusions of this analysis are that states that underwent Stay-At-Home orders, and states that are still preserving those orders, are experiencing significantly less surges in new infections, excluding the Midwest states. Current surges in Midwest states are similar to states that have never implemented Stay-At-Home orders, most likely due to high population density and the late arrival of COVID-19 to those regions, meaning the Midwest is still experiencing an exponential phase of its epidemic (contrasted with the majority of other states in the US, where their exponential phases are ending. Current recommendations are to adhere to all State or Federal guidelines regarding Stay-At-Home orders and social-distancing policies. *New section: COVID-19 Clinical Trials (Vaccine, Treatment, Testing, etc.) Vaccine Development 04/09/2020 - The COVID-19 vaccine development landscape | Nature 04/30/2020 - Draft landscape of COVID 19 candidate vaccines | WHO Vaccine Trials USA 02/25/2020 - Safety and Immunogenicity Study of 2019-nCoV Vaccine (mRNA-1273) for Prophylaxis SARS CoV-2 Infection (COVID-19) | ID: NCT04283461 | Compound: mRNA-1273 | Start: March 2020 End: June 2021 04/07/2020 - Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of INO-4800 for COVID-19 in Healthy Volunteers | ID: NCT04336410 | Compound: INO-4800 | Start: April 2020 End: April 2021 China 03/17/2020 - A phase I clinical trial for recombinant novel coronavirus (2019-COV) vaccine (adenoviral vector) | ID: ChiCTR2000030906 | Compound: Ad5-nCoV | Duration: 6 months - Drugbank 04/10/2020 - A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial for Recombinant Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCOV) Vaccine (Adenovirus Vector) | ID: ChiCTR2000031781 | Compound: Ad5-nCoV | Duration: 6 months - Drugbank 04/11/2020 - A randomized, double-blind, placebo parallel-controlled phase I/II clinical trial for inactivated Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia vaccine (Vero cells) | ID: ChiCTR2000031809 | Compound: Inactivated virus | Duration: 6 months 04/20/2020 - Safety and Immunogenicity Study of Inactivated Vaccine for Prophylaxis of SARS CoV-2 Infection (COVID-19) | ID: NCT04352608 | Compound: Inactivated virus | Start: April 2020 End: December 2020 TBA - Beijing Institute of Biological Products/Sinopharm - Inactivated virus Germany (European Union) 04/14/2020 - First Clinical Trial of a COVID-19 Vaccine Authorised in Germany | German Federal Ministry of Health | ID: 2020-001038-36 | Compound: BNT162-01 | Duration: 12 months - Clinicaltrialsregister.eu UK 03/27/2020 - A Study of a Candidate COVID-19 Vaccine (COV001) | ID: NCT04324606 | Compound: ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, MenACWY | Start: April 2020 End: May 2021 Testing Methodology 04/17/2020 - Antibody tests suggest that coronavirus infections vastly exceed official counts | Nature Featured External Report, May 2020: Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at University of Minnesota New Section: COVID-19 Featured External Report CIDRAP has been a great resource for me during the pandemic and I would consider it a very high-trust source. Recently, they have created a new section named "COVID-19: The CIDRAP Viewpoint", which is a summary report from experts in the field. Their first issue of the report, "The future of the COVID-19 pandemic: lessons learned from pandemic influenza" (Apr 30, 2020) contains some very pertinent estimates on the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers at CIDRAP estimate that the pandemic will continue for up to 18-24 months, and experience one of several potential disease curve patterns, pictured here below. Recommendations from the report: 1. States, territories, and tribal health authorities should plan for the worst-case scenario (Scenario 2), including no vaccine availability or herd immunity. 2. Government agencies and healthcare delivery organizations should develop strategies to ensure adequate protection for healthcare workers when disease incidence surges. 3. Government officials should develop concrete plans, including triggers for reinstituting mitigation measures, for dealing with disease peaks when they occur. 4. Risk communication messaging from government officials should incorporate the concept that this pandemic will not be over soon and that people need to be prepared for possible periodic resurgences of disease over the next 2 years.
