Re: [Avid-L2] ISIS Orphaned storage manager recovery help

Oooooo, hey, can I use one of the older PartitionDump.bin.###### files from before today and in the 

Avid ISIS System Directory Control Panel 

Cost eh Create Active File System From Import option and point it at a copy of that older Dump.bin file?  Would that work? I mean it's only 68,256 KB as compared to the Partition0 and Partition1 files that are both 1,392,655 KB.  But those files keep updating their time stamp as long as the System Director is running.

On the expansion chassis they date from 2013.

On the primary they are current to like literally thin minute.  I'm guessing there isn't like a automatic back up of them somewhere.  Ugh.

I assume you have the original chassis running System Director? If not, the current System Director must have access the original Isis metadata by placing it in the proper location in the D drive.

[Avid-L2] ISIS Orphaned storage manager recovery help

The short version

I have received a ISIS 5000 that was previously deployed and managed by someone else. I do not have contact with the former admin. I have racked and cabled it up and what not. When I go into the Management Console and go to the Storage Manager section both storage managers [primary and expansion] are showing as 'orphaned'. I have found plenty of documentation on how to remove those orphaned storage managers but it will wipe all the data. What I can't find is info on how to recover the orphaned storage managers and rebind them to the system and get them back online. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Maybe it can't be done? Not sure. Looking for suggestions.


More BG.

The system is not under support contract. They didn't renew it because they didn't have the funds as they were slowly going out of business. So I can't call in for support.

I do have a ISIS 5500 of our own so I'm a bit familiar with ISIS, but I have not ever had to deal with this issue before.



Thank you for assistance and suggestions.


Jay

Re: [Avid-L2] Animating Still Images within MC

I use BCC pan and zoom because I like the preview mode. Sitting on my phone now but can Avid Pan and Zoom be promoted to 3D?

What is everyone using these days to animate stills while staying in the timeline? For years I relied on Boris RED to complete the task. It was robust enough for advanced keyframe animation and compositing, and I appreciated having a separate application window for functionality.

Boris RED development was discontinued several years ago at v5.6, but continued functioning for MC, albeit hamstrung. Now it doesn't work at all. I've been using AfterEffects, but I'm looking for something more efficient than roundtripping, especially when I have a ton of stills, or need to make minor changes. There's always the built-in Avid Pan & Zoom, and I have BCC Pan and Zoom, but I find these both to be clunky for anything beyond basic moves.

Thanks for any insight or suggestions.

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!
