Hello,
I notice that some exports in MXF OP1 show a green line in the top of the image.
It hapends with media captured from beta digi.
This exports are for play out and i´m afraid if the green line may be seen in TV.
I tried to export using sorenson but the version that comes with Media composer doesn´t support the MXF OP1 exports.
Attach a capture.
thanks in advance!
I have finished editing an archive based project in SD, digitising material from Digi Beta at MPEG 30 MXF. All looks good until I export to XDCAM MXF OP1a (the specified format from the broadcaster). I can export to .MOV ok with no green lines showing.
I have tried re-digitising with VITC selected 'off' on the deck, and I have tried digitising at other resolutions - but in all cases the green lines appear if exported to OP1a.
I've seen a thread about this back in 2012 - but not solved at that time.
Any ideas anyone? Thanks.
I just installed Media Composer 2018.5. It seems to be working fine, except for the fact that when I exit/quit the application, it crashes. I don't seem to lose any work, but I did not have this issue with the previous version. I did an uninstall before I installed this version. I am also working in a brand new project, so I am not sure why I am experiencing this issue. I am also using a new user profile. MacOS High Sierra Version 10.13.4
My users keep encountering this prompt to save this ghost bin everytime they save their project or switch their settings. I've checked the file path and it leads to some Color Correction Presets that is actually a After effect project files within Avid program files.
Problem is that it also shows up as some kind of ghost bin that they cannot find in their projects. The projects has been comes from MC 7.0.6.4 which is an older version of MC if that matters.They click 'Don't Save" and it goes away but it comes back sometimes.
I think it's because it's related to the fact that they don't having write permission to this file path because they're using Avid on a standard Windows account and not as Admin which has full write to Avid program files.
Any way I can get rid of this random prompt for this ghost bin without having to delete the actual AEP file or have to modify their permissions somehow to Avid program files? Will upgrading 8.9.4 fix this bug?
Thanks,
Hi all,
When I open any project, I get the following message:
Assertion failed: m_valid
File: /Snapshots/relengmini1_1533773190/coresw/VolumeUI/volMenuUtils.c, Line: 977
The only solution I found is to disconnect all external drives, open the project offline and then connect the drives.
¿Any solutions? Thx!
Installed 2018.7 but dongle activation option is not showing up as a selection in the licensing section of app manager. Also, in my account under products, my perpetual donlge updater file is only showing as 2018.5.
I have two licenses, an annual and a perpetual. While both show up under my account in tha app manager, I'm not seeing both under the licesning.
thanks.
Just today I got this error and I now can't really do anything in Avid Media Composer without this error coming up. Anyone know the issue?
And if I click continue on this error, I get this message
Would love some help. I'm running MC 18.2 and my specs are below
Thanks in advance

Hi, I just did a reinstall of 2018.4. But the software is not recognizing the Nitris DX box.
It was working fine right before the update.
any suggestions?
Hi,
I have been doing some "limitations" camera tests on the GH5 (i, best exposure, ii, heavily over-exposed, iii, heavily underexposed, and iv, exposing for chroma key), and I am flummoxed to see where the camera's Vlog picture style mode is superior to its own Natural mode. I have tried all sorts of combinations correcting in MC (eg., contrast pull first, or the LUT (Vlog_to_V709_forV35_ver100 (3D)) first, or then adding further LUTs and colour corrections on top, etc.) and while I might say that dynamic range seems a touch better when shooting Vlog when correctly exposed, at the extremes of exposures the then correcting in MC, in my view, has the camera's Natural mode seem just a tiny bit better.
Is there a trick I am missing? What conclusions should I infer from all this? Is there another LUT to use that will superbly freshen up the footage without any filter look (which I am not keen on)?
Please advise,
DC
Every time I open a project with group clips I turn Audio Follow Video on. (Because it is off by default.) Is there a way to make it "on" by a default?
Hey,
I'm working on the latest version of MC FYI but I'm working on a stills intensive project with a lot of moves but for some reason today all of my effects icons disappeared from the clips in the sequences. The effects are still there, I can alter them but can't quickly see if a clip has an effect. I've restarted avid, my system, made new sequences and nada.
Has anyone dealt with this nonsense before and if so does anyone have a solution?
Thank you
Anyone know why clip thumbnails from an SD card wont show up in the source browser? The media is not the card...it just shows up in two parts..an MXF and an XML...i can bring the MXFs into my bin just fine and edit...but i can't preview the clips in the source broswer...this is not helpful when i need to only pick out certain clips...any ideas? Thanks
Hi,
two avid mediacomposer pc with v 2018.1 with same problem. Since this version it's impossible to create title, not with title tool and not with marquee. Both tools can't save to bin successfully. Title tool simple empty the title windows, I lose my create title. With marquee tools I can save local in the tool, but I can't save to bin.
I reinstalled v8.10, this version works without problems.

I have seen some great deals on these on ebay in terms of hardware, but I had a couple questions about these:
1. Im sure Unity software is required and I have seen some various LanShare software on ebay, can you still get Unity Software from Avid?
2. It seems these also had a Dongle. (saw a few on ebay) Without a Dongle, is the Unity pretty much useless other than using it as an oversized NAS?
Thanks
We have replaced some of our workstations and realized that Avid no longer has the Avid Unity MediaNetwork v5.4 client software for Windows on their download page. I checked all my hard drives and thumbdrives and have everything but the Unity client. I have contacted Avid and they say they don't have it. I have v5.1 from our original CD's when we bought the Unity but that doesn't seem to work with Windows 10. I am hoping that someone out there still has vers 5.4 or Ver 5.3. We would really appreciate any help!
Does there exist a definitive list of which audio plugins will work inside Media Composer. All the lists I find just seem to list ProTools compatible ones.
thanks
Hello,
I am new to working wih Interplay / Nexis, and found re-linking to be different than on a stand-alone system.
I'd like to link to the clips with AMA, and then transcode them to DNxHR LB for editing. I figured the DNxHR will edit smoother than the AMA, and I need to transcode for the producers in Media Central. And I need to stay in 4K so the producers can reposition and resize the shots in the final HD master.
After editing, I'd like to relink back to the full resolution AMA clips for color grading and final transcode to HD. In a quick test today, I could not force the edited timeline back to the AMA clips. I don't know if deleting ( or hiding ) the DNxHR LB footage would make the relink work, but that is what I would do if this were a stand alone system. But that is problematic with Interplay.
Any suggestions to make this process work? Thank you.
