Re: [Avid-L2] 2 Q's Best Workflow practices and Avid bin Size

 

Hi Steve,


It's been a while. The systems are running on Terrablock and I'm going to give those guy's a call as well regarding the crashes. Everything has been transcoded to DNxHD but they are having random crashing issues that I think I determined was software related to 8.3. At least on the system that they were having issues with.  I suspect there is some sort of media corruption. They were crashing on certain sequences but when I had them reopen a bin where the raw media was in which was not the same bin with the sequence, play the media and then reopen the sequence again. the crashing stopped. No clue why but maybe Avid needed to just see the Raw files again to some how "link" back to them? I have to see if they are still having the same crashes today after we did that series of steps.

Thanks,
Jason Gillet

There is a max number of items in bins. Bins take ram so they should be closed when not in use. Everything should be transcoded to DNxHD 36 probably. Raw does not need to be saved on the same Raid during editing. They can link back to it later. Crashes are not necessarily from the amount of data or a specific rev of software. Could be coming from a corrupt user setting or sequence or bin or piece of media. Is this on an ISIS? Maybe you need an ACSR to check it

Hi All,

I've been out of the post game for awhile and mostly in production so I'm not sure what the correct answer is these days. I have a client who is working with I'd say about 1000 hours a material currently on 8.5 systems but had to go back to 8.3 due to crashing issues. They are finishing in 23.98 but are working with material that is from 23.98, 29.97, 25 PAL, 59.94 Slo-mos' and 29.97. They need to keep the Raw at the master format and frame rate for match back when finishing. They would like to know what is the best way to work. They are asking because they are having issues and are looking for an easy way to make this work for them.

My second question is Bin size is there a Maximum Bin size before you have issues with crashing, slow-downs etc..?

Thanks,
