MC 3.0.5, win XP, DV25 project ntsc. For some strange rreason when I try to create a sequence with 2 video tracks using speeed changed clips(rendered), after putting the second clip in the timeline I get an exception: unsupported resolution " error. Clips weere captured minutes from each other into the same bin and same project and a speed change of 1000% was applied and rendered to both.Also using other clips from same project sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Nothing else on time line except fo the 2 clips in question. Tried rebuilding data bases, mmob file deleted, no joy. Any suggestions?

Clement, I get this error message when opening sequences with title/graphics off line.

Nothing is off line. Tried making a new project, imported bin from old project and had same error. Newly captured clips do not produce the error. Trying to figure out what could be different from one to the other. Can you corrupt a bin somehow?

I'm bumping this one as it is a very annoying malfunction, has anyone experienced the same and/or has a fix?

Bump again...

OK, the unsupported resolution error is back,, this time I downgraded to 3.0.5. To get the error all I have to do is capture a clip, do a un-renereed speed change, say 3%, drag the clip to a new sequence and apply ANY other effect and the error pops up. That sequence even when closed corrupts the bin to the point that any clips I capture afterwards  show the unsupported resolution error when you stop capture. What coulld be causing this? No New programs on the computer, just started happening when I installed 3.1.1. Uninstalled and re-installed 3.0.5 over it. Guess something is still left behind.

Clement, it seems like that missing precomputes are causing this error for both me and You. 

Have you tried to uninstall and then reinstall the app? It could be that the standard Media Files located in the Media COmposer>Avid Media Files folder may be corrupted.

We're having a similar problem,  but not anything to do with legacy projects / bins.  It happened right after a ProTools 8 install.  I'm thinking corrupt audio plugins.  Any thoughts?  Am I going to have to re-install?  What will that do to ProTools?

I've uninstalled MC 3.1.2 and upgraded to 3.5 QT 7.6 and the error message is gone .

Hey all,  I just had the same problem today while teaching a 305 course.  We have v3.5 here and every time we tried playing a sequence on one particular machine, we would get that message.  It seemed if the sequence had any nothing (i.e; "filler") in it, the error would occur.  Without any filler in the track/s, all was well.   So,  how did I fix it?   I went to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Avid Media Composer\Avid_MediaFiles and trashed both the msmFMID and msmMMOB files, relaunched Media Composer and all seems OK.  Hope this helps!

Yep, that was what fixed my system too. Forgot to post solution...sorry. I never thought of looking there for those DB files. Deleted all the other ones I could find, but those two were kind of hidden- not where I expected them to be and were the two that needed to be rebuilt. Guess the real problem also lies in the fact that MC's uninstall does NOT remove everything it should. This should be addressed by Avid, an uninstall routine should remove all files involved, not just some of them.

i had the same problem with fillers causing the "unsupported resolution" error but deleteing the DB files didn't resolve it.

only after changing the user settings so that the user with which i logged in was set as administrator did i resolve the "unsupported resolution" error.

Wow - I had this happen to me today and fortunately I had a ghost image of my system drive from a couple of days ago. restored the ghost image and all is well. I'm glad I found this little tidbit here, though. If this happens again I'll be sure to try your solution.

I wonder why this is happening. Anyone understand the root cause?

Thanks,

Steve
