Media Composer Makes Nice with Snow Leopard

Anonymous — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:59:56 GMT

Avid released Media Composer version 4.0.4 this afternoon. The big news is that the new release is certified to work with Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.2). The bad news is that Avid recommends a clean install of Snow Leopard, not an upgrade. Here’s the relevant section from the ReadMe (page 4): This release has been qualified with [...]

Transfer imports to another system

guero — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:54:38 GMT

Hi all,

I'm sure this is something quite simple but i can't seem to manage it myself. The problem I have is my desktop, good spec and all, has the neccesary equipment to capture footage, but for some reason is throwing up a whole heap of problems running Avid. My laptop, which is an inferior system but seems to work happily. However, i cannot capture as it doesnt have the required input (USB only, no firewire). I have a project i urgently need to work on so my question is how can I capture on the one system and transfer to my laptop ready to work with. I appear to be able to transfer footage and even entire bins but when I open up on my laptop they are offline again. Help!

Thanks

Clips not stopping

paulsparkes — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:18:18 GMT

Hi I've been having a problem where when I open my Avid Media Composer 3.5 on my pc it will play a clip or timeline but not stop when I want to. Eventually it will do a small audio giche and can be stopped at that point. It will then work fine for a bit before doing the same thing again. Very frustrating. The timeline does have about a 20 minute project on it but at this stage is only vo and grabs with no effects. I'm running windows vista Quad Core with 4 meg of Ram.

Confused by Track Selectors? - Part 2

I made this Tutorial as a follow up to the previous Tutorial, where I tried to explain the basics of Track Selectors.

This time I take things a step further and show the use of the 3 point edit when adding a second clip.

Confused by Track Selectors?

drbgaijin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:29:07 GMT

I made a Tutorial on Track Selectors a while back, but a recent Forum thread reminded me that there are newcomers arriving on Avid's shores all the time.
Those coming from NLEs that have a very different workspace, timeline and workflow from Media Composer's can find things very confusing at first.

So I decided to have a second attempt at clarifying things for just those newcomers.

Zooming in/out and dragging the Monitor Pictures

drbgaijin — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:56:39 GMT

When you use the "Ctrl +L" and "Ctrl + K" shortcuts they can be applied to more than just the height of timeline tracks.

By accident I pressed "Ctrl + L" while my record monitor was active and was surprised at the result.

My new found knowledge is probably more useful when in Effect mode and using some function like AvidFX's Paint Tool.
