Re: [Avid-L2] AMA not working issue

 

This only works for the current project you have open. It turns itself back on eventually, so it's not a permanent solution.

You can disable the AMA management with the command "manageama off" in the Console.

It was added mainly to allow Interplay and the Media Tool to index AMA media.

Yes, trash the AMA Management folder. Trash it often. It doesn't help and only hurts. I have yet to find a reason for it to exist, and it just corrupts itself so often that I trash it almost every time I launch MC.

I see this a lot with multiple students working in our labs, with multiple Mac accouts. We usually trash the AMA Management folder and it comes back to life. I hadn't considered the permissions aspect.

Coincidentally, I was told about this behaviour by a customer yesterday. Are you putting the AMA material on the internal hard drive of the Mac or an external drive? If external, how is it connected?

Hit an issue on several of our newly updated Mac systems where AMA linking wouldn't work. No error messages. No console messages. It just would't work. After some fun troubleshooting I found the issue was a folder whose permissions got changed from Read / write for everyone to just read. Changing it back fixes the issue. Not sure if it happened with the update or with cloning the drive prior to updating.
 
The folder is here: 
 
Users/Shared/AvidMediaComposer/AMA Management/AMA Metadata Folders
