[Avid-L2] RE: RE: Help Weird Sequence Problem and of course at a deadline

 

Thanks Terry.  That's the one thing that I didn't try.  I will try it now.  John Beck's test with the play in-to-out worked OK.  But if I try to play using the play button - same result.  I will do the divide and conquer routine now.

Sounds like a piece of corrupt media. Time to divide and conquer.


Make a DUPLICATE of your sequence, delete all audio tracks. Does it play? If yes, then it's audio media. If no, then it's a video clip.


Delete the back half of the sequence. Does it play? If yes, then the problem is in the back half. If no, then delete half of what is remaining. Does it play? etc. Eventually you will isolate the bad clip. It is either corrupt, in which case you will need to reimport, capture, whatever, or got screwed up in the sequence which means recut it in.

I was working yesterday on a film.  I shut down to take a lunch break.  When I came back I rebooted and launched the Symphony The audio tracks were rearranged so that there was A1 and A2 as normal then blank buttons where A 3 thru A 10 should have been and then A 3 thru A10 beneath that.  There was also  this error message:


Audio:PMM_INSUFFICIENT_MEDIA()

Player version of frame duration is longer than actual (335) (334)


I could not play the sequence. I loaded the old sequence into the source monitor and opened a new sequence.  The Symphony would not let me re-patch the track order. I pasted the old sequence into the new and deleted the blank tracks and the audio tracks patched properly. Then I could play the sequence.  I finished what I was editing exported for a screener and then shut down the Avid.  I tried opening and old version from the Attic. No good.


This morning I booted up and launched the Symphony.  Same problem. I trashed the MC State.  Same result. I created a new project. and tried opening the bin in that.  Same problem.   I tried marking an in and an out on a portion of the sequence.  Same problem.  It won't let me play the sequence.


Of course I am up against a firm deadline on Saturday.


Help.


Thanks
