You just install the 2018.12.01 package over the already installed 2018.12

Doing an uninstall prior to a new update used to be advised but we have installed new updates over the current installation for years without issues. If you are updating from an older version it is probably advisable to do a full uninstall. Doing an uninstall is relatively painless. fwiw.

Hallo Marianna

Sorry for my English

I updated from 2018.4 to 2018.12.1

There are 2 bugs I experience while working with 2018.12.1

Working with 3rd party video card (blackmagic intensity pro 4k which work perfect with 2018.4) became sluggish with 2018.12.1

I can notice that while using the trim mode, which it is a main feature in the edit process, there is a big sluggish difference while working with the card or disable it. This difference didn't appear in 2018.4. The trim mode worked fluently on both situations. This is not the case in 2018.12.1 in which while dragging video or audio tracks - the trim mode is sluggish with the card enable and fluid while disable it

Can you fix it in the next version?

Second problem is the new feature - the waveform sync.

it's make a great job to identify clips by the sound and placing them one on top of the other but instead of placing the next group of sync clips ahead in the time line - it places then on top of the previous sync clips group- making a pile of clip all together - making it useless for group process.

Can you fix it so it will place the unsynchronized clips - one after the other?

Thank you very much

Is there a timeline as to when there would be an update to get the AC3 back, I know there's a workaround but I am in a middle of something and Avid getting an immediate update at least enabling the AC3 for some of us would help. Or a least Avid to give some of us using the Panny AVCHD format a way to enable the AC3 whiles they fix all the other bugs reported

Thank you

dying for the .2 release.  having incompatible frame rate errors when I change my project to uhd.  Seems to work in 1080 but i originally started the project in uhd.  I think its the new groups causing this.  Some groups have mixed frame rate clips, but the project is 80min and trying not to commit the entire thing.. hard to find the problem when I can even open the timeline.

also im getting an error when i punch in numbers using keypad.. be it in source, record monitors, changing timewarp numbers, etc.

thx

When using the Avid paint tool, after zooming in to paint, set-up an auto track and then track. SN locks up and crashes to desktop.  Repeatable in 2108.12 and 2018.12.1.   Causing misery.

I have found the best practice is to uninstall Media Composer and then run the new installer. For a long time, I got burned by trusting Application Manager.

That 2018.12.1 is not a "patch" installer, but a full installer. Avid doesn't release patches. Just entire new versions with a new number.

When AMA linking to an MP4 .mov guide picture, the sync is ok.  After ingesting at DNX36, the sound is losing a frame and out of sync with the ingested .mov picture.

Eyal CB,

I've had sluggish playback issues ever since moving away from 2018.4 to higher versions.  I use an Ultrastudio Mini Monitor with my laptop and a TB3 to TB2 adapter (same one Avid suggests for their branded BM devices).  I think sluggish Blackmagic playback is a known issue but doesn't look like there has been any movement on this from the looks of things.  I don't have crashes anymore on playback (not since 2012.11), but the sluggish trim mode is really wearing on me.  Avid's excellent trim tools are one of the reasons I haven't moved to Premiere like all of my subcontractors.  Wish this would just get fixed.  Awful hard to work efficently when I have to stop for 2 seconds between trims to let the machine catch up.

2018.12.1, BM Mini Monitor (10.11.4) and STARTECH.COM TB3 - TB2 adapter here: no trim or PB perf. issues, no noticeable perf difference between HW active/inactive.

Ha ! I have to back off a bit:

I have a relatively simple timeline, but with some demanding AVX (BCC10) effects here and there. They have a green dot (supposed to be playable in realtime if CPU/GPU allows).

If I play with HW (BM Mini Monitor) disabled, video playback lags audio here and there, near the 'difficult' clips, but catches up quickly during 'easy' clips.

With the HW enabled, the difference is that the video NEVER catches up: lag builds up and I end up with about 10s difference between audio and video after 6 minutes of playback !

Video Quality is set to Draft (yellow/green) in both cases, and CPU usage is similar (about 60 to 80 %)

Is the BM driver the culprit ? Why doesn't MC catch up during 'easy' portions when HW is enabled ???

Send me your system ID and MY Avid and I will have support check this out.  Sounds like the system is lagging and the things that typically come out higher priority are direct memory access through attached devices, or other real-time programs running on the same machine.  Also, AAX Track Effects are run in the high priority buffer filling thread, and if you have too many, this can occur.  Also is your Computer is not beefed up....

I can take a look though... send me your info.

Marianna,

When can we expect the next version of MC? Will it be a full update or just a bug-fix like 2018.12.1?
