Hi,

Simple linking or importing mp4's mov's even opening mov's wrapped as mxf's via the MediaFiles mxd folders etc, crashing MC. This file import/output issue is kinda nuts. ( MacBook Pro 16"  Mac OS 10.15.2 16 gig ram 8 GB video ssd etc) I'm still using QT player 10.5 and it works fine viewing saving new and old video files. Tried converting old mov.'s with iskysoft video converter ultimate to different formats etc. When linking does work I'm able to transcode, but really most times I'm getting error "File format … not supported"

Please fix this and support. Exporting and using third party app to convert; this new and improved way is dumb too. Help

Avid. Make a fix. I don't want to workaround. I'll bet lot's of loyal MC owners might agree with me.

Thanks,

Owen

How are folks conforming to non native media?

I have a short sequence & a massive drive of files (not Avid MediaFiles).

If I 'set bin display' to see the sources I can then search the massive drive for the files one by one & alt-drag them into a bin one by one then relink the short sequence. OK for very few sources.

Or I can link to the whole drive (slow) & relink.

Or (I think) I could export a list of those files & find/copy them to a new destination and then AMA & relink. Creates duplicate media I don't really need).

Questions:

Can I relink (via AMA) before I have the source file in the project? Like I can in PP. I think not. Possible feature request 'relink via source browser'

Is there a better way of doing this?

Here's what I get trying to renew my license.

Hi,

My problem is that I cannot renew my perpetual license.
After I get to the renew page where I usually select BUY NOW, the only option I have is to browse the store for plug-ins. What ever I try always take me to the same place.
If I want to buy a new subscription, no problem. But, no option to renew.
I just want to renew my license before it expires in 5 days.

Anyone had the same issue?

Thanks,

Marcel

Re: [Avid-L2] Find list of files to link to #workflow

Only works with a very limited number of file types - QuickTime and AIFF, IIRC.

Relink takes me to the regular relink dialogue - which will relink to AMA files *if* they are already in the project. 

Re: [Avid-L2] Console Command for AvidPhoneticindexer?

Quit Media Composer and kill PI in Activity Monitor. You should be good to go. Fixed in 2020.4.

Thank you very much Roger! I tried that and I'm not sure what changed. The Activity Monitor still says that the Phonetic Indexer is using 3.11 GB. But I am out of the red and back in the green.

Good question. I just do a search (Ctrl or Cmnd+F), hit the gear wheel and stop indexing. On a Mac (2019 or 2018) the PI kept running after quitting but it seems to be fixed in 2020.4.

Hi All,

Is there a command that shuts off the Avid Phonetic indexer?

(I tried force quitting the app in the Activity Monitor but it just restarts itself.)

I am working on a rather large project on a 2014 Mac Laptop with 16 gigs and am constantly banging up against memory limitations. It would be great to liberate whatever the indexer is using. I just need to make it through a few more days.

I am on 2018.12.3 on Mac OS 10.13.6.

Thanks!

[Avid-L2] OT: Can't renew my perpetual license.

Hi,

My problem is that I cannot renew my perpetual license.
After I get to the renew page where I usually select BUY NOW, the only
option I have is to browse the store for plug-ins. What ever I try
always take me to the same place.
If I want to buy a new subscription, no problem. But, no option to renew.
I just want to renew my license before it expires in 5 days.

Anyone had the same issue?

Thanks,

Marcel
