Re: [Avid-L2] 8.6.3 on Mac, what OS?

And here is an excellent reference app on which machines can run what MacOS versions (available free for MacOS and iOS).


I hate how you can't run older OS on new mac hardware.

Re: [Avid-L2] Confessions of holiday gifts to self...

I just dropped end of year avoid tax coin on a QNAP TS-1677XU-RP-2700-16G (NewEgg $4,399.00) and 16 Seagate IronWolf Pro 10TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch Sata 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache for Raid Network Attached Storage, Data Recovery Service (ST10000NE0004) (Amazon $308.99 each).

Initially it will be used to support a large archival project.

I still have to complete the 10GBe infrastructure, in-between road trips, before I can test it's full potential.

Re: [Avid-L2] Confessions of holiday gifts to self...

Ok. Wow. An Xmas bonus after all. I ordered and picked up two of these drives from the local Best Buy. The Akitio chassis arrives from Amazon on Monday. Then I'll shuck-n-go. Thanks.

Re: [Avid-L2] MC Feature request: Video Mixdowns

The *really* weird behaviour is in the ‘insert edit export’.

’Use selected tracks’ option there, for video tracks, acts as if ‘soloing’ those tracks (eg if V3 only is selected, then v3 only is inserted - all other tracks are muted). Very difficult to understand when you would want to do that.

Best way of clearing it all up & unifying would be to have 3 video options for mixdown/export/insert edit export:
Default - ignore track selection & monitoring
Use track selection
Obey track monitoring (inc if one track is soloed - in case anyone does need that)

At the same time improve audio exports/mixdowns to add ‘multiple mix’ and ‘as monitored’ to the options. The former is to match how ‘send to playback ‘ works = easy to export full mix/m&e/fx/dialogue etc, without a mezzanine sequence. The latter for when monitoring ‘direct out’ with cross-patched output tracks. ‘Direct out’ exports sets patching to track for track, which is no use in surround & immersive workflows.

Re: [Avid-L2] Confessions of holiday gifts to self...

Woah.  Thanks for the research!

I put the western digital mystery 5400rpm 'shucked' 12 tb drives in my new qnap 8-bay, I think they were $180 plus tax at bestbuy? Based on your research though, who knows what they really are!  Bob said they might not be fast enough, but it's working great.

On 10gigE I'm getting reliable sustained 660+ MBps write and faster read.  

Which is ridiculous since I'm running only 1 edit bay most of the time.  I don't actually need shared storage, to be honest, but I can't just give up everything All at once! 

 (Job, if you need a spare Nitris, I can't stomach going back to eBay to get rid of my last dust-covered one.  I'll ship it to you if you want it... or swing by next time you're in the states... Come to think of it, anyone need a well-worn but still running Terrablock?)

So I replaced my crazy LOUD 48 TB Terrablock fiber server at the end of its $1900/year service contract... with a faster, quieter, 96tb (65 in raid 6, I think) smarter server for about $3800 (including tax and Mimiq licenses.). I probably should have bought a spare drive while they were on sale, I suppose...

As long as I don't allow the qnap server to go onto the internet, it should be safe from the viruses that are starting to target it- they get in when it's used in its other possible configurations.

One of the convenient, unintentional, 'bonus' features of the qnap OS is that the folders  (Which appears as local drives on the client) scale dynamically: you don't need to pre- allocate storage space for a specific project like with unity or Facilis.  It also has a USB 3 port right on the front of it, so you can mount external devices and quickly copy them.  Of course, that's another quick way to aquire a virus, I suppose.  I only us that for offloading camera cards.


 Pretty fancy stuff for me these days, as I'm quickly slipping into the category of 'hobbiest' editor.  ;-)

Let us know your final test results- what drive is it really??  

I get surround monitoring from Avid or Resolve by pulling channels 1-6 out of SDI via a discontinued BMD adapter (recommended by Jay M, iirc.) I Don't run protools anymore, though I have a license in a drawer somewhere...

Happy New Year!

Thank you, John!

I have 96GB of RAM – and this project is all HD 1080p/29.97 – I would think that should be enough, especially in AVC Intra 100 mode.

Re: [Avid-L2] MC Feature request: Video Mixdowns

While we are on that subject, would you all agree about some consistency in workflow procedure:


1. When you export a file, you can check to SELECT THE TRACKS on the timeline, and the In/Out points of the export – very useful.

However, when doing a VIDEO MIXdwn, track selection is not the method to indicate what is mixed, but rather, the 'Eyeball' square to the right of the Track Name in the timeline window (sorry, I know that is an Adobe term, but I forgot what Avid calls it). 

I see the logic in why they did that – it is the highest video track "eye-ball selected," which is mixed down, because as we all know, video tracks are 'hierarchal' in priority (and not cumulative like Audio tracks) – so selecting a V3 track that has titles, but not selecting V1 or V2 under it that contain video would not make sense in a Mixdown (or could it, if my suggestion for a change were made?!); and,


2. Also, I am unsure if this is only in NewBlueFX's TITLER PRO or also in Avid MC, but when any query box opens which needs you to approve or decline, did the OK button and CANCEL button swap places?  On some operations, it seems OK is where it used to be – the far right-bottom button.  But I have seen where it is on a different side. (???)


Thanks.

Re: [Avid-L2] Confessions of holiday gifts to self...

I think this is exactly what Xmas holidays are for!

Me, I finally took the time to add the RME HDSPe card to my z840 so that I can run 5.1 from Pro Tools with picture coming through the Nitris DX.
Had wanted to do this for about 5 years.

[Avid-L2] Confessions of holiday gifts to self...

Years ago, when I needed to get a 5.1 sound system that my iMac and Avid would recognize, Job ter Burg (thank you) suggested here on the L2 that I simply get a remarkably affordable and professional Denon DN-500AV…. That's where my editing system and this long story begins… 

I got a great deal on a DN-500AV. At the same time a friend upgraded his sound studio and gave me a lovely set of 5 Dynaudio Acoustics. A Bag End subwoofer tied it all together and a simple Thunderbolt 2 to HDMI cable from the 2013 iMac make it all work with a simple audio config utility called Audio MIDI Setup. 

It was (and still is) a nice sounding system. So much so that I played and streamed music on it when not editing. The problem was, when I left the home studio to, say, go to the kitchen, the music stayed in the studio. Turning it up loud began to bother my wife, understandably on occasion. She would say, and rightly so, that if I really wanted to fill the house with audio I should start by putting speakers in the numerous ceiling holes I had made 12 years ago when I had remodeled the house. In my defense, those "holes" were strategically placed and had sturdy speaker mounts and excellent speaker wires behind them. As you can imagine, it all runs to a pile of wires in the basement. I had never  found a good house audio system that worked the way I wanted it to. Admittedly, some 7 years ago (after some prodding), I covered the holes with speaker screens.  No sound, but at least the holy ceiling was less offensive.  

Anyway, after a year or so of loud music pouring from the studio during breaks, I saw something at a Christmas clearance sale at Fry's: a Denon AVR-S910W 7.1 receiver with Atmos, ethernet, and WiFi!  Inspired, I brought it home and built an aesthetically pleasing shelf in the dining room, with the understanding that I would now install actual ceiling speakers in the ceiling. 

I did all this with great enthusiasm and found after-Christmas ceiling speakers on sale at Best Buy, and a pair of in-wall speakers for the dining room.  Wiring the dining room speakers was a bit tricky so I simply ran the wire under the rug and covered the 3 or so feet of exposed wire at both ends with blue painter's tape. I claimed the blue tape would be temporary. I just wanted to, you know, make sure the system worked. And it did! The house became filled with this amazing cloud of music that you could walk through!  But with iTunes, the DN-500 and S910W receivers were slightly out of sync. It made drum solos interesting but vocals were just confusing. So I found the Airfoil app and it put both systems in sync--from any source. We then began living and working in a cloud of sonic happiness. 

As you might guess, the blue tape remained on the dining room floor. After a year I stopped seeing it. After 3 years I forgot all about it. My loving and very patient wife did not, of course.  At 5 years our friends started volunteering to help me run the wires under the floor. Bowing to the inevitable, I suited up and went under this (no-basement) part of the house to pull wires, passing a petrified squirrel along the way. 

To get to the latest self-gift, and make a long story longer, the screen of the old 2013 iMac was starting to wane, and early in this year's holiday season I gave myself a 16" MacBookPro. As we all know now, it will not run Mojave nor Avid. So it went back to Apple, and I transitioned to use my 2018 MBP as the daily workhorse. 

While editing with Avid I never liked running other applications, particularly for music. Awhile back I started using an iPad to play music while I worked. Problem was, the iPad would only work with ONE of the receivers at a time. Airplay 2 on an iPad will of course work with multiple receivers that have Airplay 2. My receivers don't even have Airplay 1! I refuse to buy new receivers just to get Airplay 2—you have to draw the line somewhere—just to get the whole house audio cloud back running on an iPad!  

So this season's gift-to-self was a pair of the cheapest AppleTV black boxes I could find. Each has Airplay 2 and an HDMI output which goes right into each receiver. The house sound cloud has returned, in sync, and works well with the iPad, as I edit with Avid on a MBP, and write long stories like this. If anyone on the L2 found this entertaining, or is happy about now finding a way to get Airplay 2 into an old 5.1 or 7.1 receiver via an AppleTV puck, then maybe it was worth sharing. 

May all our systems work and play well together in the New Year,

Re: [Avid-L2] Tons of Crashes: Avid 2018.12.9 with Titler Pro 6 / Mac Cheese Grater

On my work system with the bundled New Blue V5 IIRC I had lots of crashes and usually had to isolate the titles track in it's own sequence to avoid crashing when I open the titler.  I upped the ram from 24GB to 32GB and that seemed to help.

[Avid-L2] Disabled Resolution text file

Does that trick still work ?  I know it has in the past, but tried it with a new install and all the resolutions are still there even after a restart. We’re on 2018.12 and was very specific about spelling, spaces and capitalization. All the formats are still there, would like the editors to only see dnx145, sometimes it randomly changes to something else like dvc pro hd.

Thanks

Re: [Avid-L2] Tons of Crashes: Avid 2018.12.9 with Titler Pro 6 / Mac Cheese Grater

Will try that, thank you!

I feel this is somewhat an cause of the interaction of NewBlueFX's Titler Pro 6 and Avid MC.  

As for the FAIL SAVE errors, it ONLY started at 2018.12.xx

As for both issues: Earlier versions of 2018 and 2017.11 did not crash Avid (only TPro6).  The crashes in 2018.12.xx are at a whole new level.

Have you tried renaming the bin to something else?  Lose the parentheses, maybe?

[Avid-L2] Tons of Crashes: Avid 2018.12.9 with Titler Pro 6 / Mac Cheese Grater


I have been experiencing more than usual random crashes of Avid MC 2018.12.9 (and even with the last few 2018's) – mostly, but not always when NewBlue FX's Titler Pro 6 is interacting with MC.  At other times after a title edit has been successfully done (and the Titler Pro 6 compose window closed), moving an audio keyframe for a simple fade-out will also crash the Avid.  Or doing some other task like attempting a render in the background.

And speaking of which, I frequently get an error message while I assume the background rendering is trying to save all bins. 

I have done re-installs of both Avid and TP6.

I have been in touch with NewBlueFX support deeply in the last 12 months – to where after midnight I have given them remote access of the machine and also had them install a logger to keep track of every move.  They have done some improvements and sent me those... (Titler Pro 7 won't play nice, so I went back to Ver 6). 

Thanks, everyone.  Also, kudos to the hardworking people who migrated everything from Yahoo Groups and saved the L2 so seamlessly for the rest of us!

Background

 

Avid-L was established in 1994 at Calvin College by Steven Koster.

It was created to be a forum for Avid users to meet, discuss, and share

information.

 

 Avid-L quickly grew into the premiere on-line users group for

professional film and video editors. It was one of the earliest examples

of an Internet community, allowing hundreds of editors worldwide to

share their experiences and expertise with their peers. There was no

better place for a professional Avid editor to get such wealth of

informed professional advice.

At various times, individual subscribers volunteered services to the

group. Searchable archives were maintained by Germany's Berlin Users

Group as well as the UIUC. A tips & tricks list was posted by Andy

Birkhead of Innovative Edit. Wes Plate, a longtime contributor, not only

shared key techniques on his Web site, he also created a photo gallery

for members' portraits.

 

In 1997, several subscribers began a tradition of meeting in person at

the NAB trade show in Las Vegas. The first gatherings were organized by Jaime Fowler. In 1999,

Avid Technology itself began sponsoring these gatherings as an exclusive reception and seminar for Avid-L members only.  In 2002, this changed to the "Avid Users Group" meeting.

 

By 1999, Avid-L boasted over 1600 subscribers, exhibiting a true

international scope with over 300  international members. The community

included participants from a wide variety of well-known corporate

organizations in broadcasting, technical, and content creation fields,

as well as and  multiple local TV stations, colleges, and universities.

 

In 2000, Avid-L joined AvidProNet.com, and then, in 2002, was integrated

Into Avid.com.  

 

In 2005 Due to problems with signal to noise ratio and abusive posters, the Avid-L2 was formed. A year later the Avid-L was discontinued by Avid.

 

At the middle of 2006, the L2 has around 1100 members, with plenty of "lurker only" members who simply use the web version of the list.  The L2 is spam-free, by moderation and with Groups.io’s tools and will remain that way.  

 

In 2019,  the Group has migrated to Groups,io from the previous Yahoo engine-   the Groups.io page  maintains the complete Avid-L2 archive.    The original Avid-L archive has been lost to the history of the interwebz.

 

Welcome, and Enjoy!

 

Extras!
