After rendering an animation in After Effects, i closed the program, waited a few seconds before i wanted to start AVID. I double clicked the AVID-icon and....NOTHING HAPPENED. I did this several times. I clicked ctrl+alt+del to check the windwows task manager. There were no entries. At least i restarted my machine and voilà - AVID started as usual.
Another new thing: If i go into the trim mode - the matrox mini is making a short "on/off"-action. (matrox runs with the newest driver). The monitor becomes black for a second, before the picture reappears. Same thing with the title tool.
All these things are not really dramatic - but i`ve had a client sitting beside me - and maybe you can imagine that i was in a cold sweat until AVID starts again.
