Avid cant let me to export any kind of AAF. I have got this error message.
Alll of my media are on a NTFS dive, attached on my macbook pro. Maybe Avid does not like NTFS drives? I use Paragon NTFS fof MAC. Any suggestion how to fix?
Thanks!
Ps: I have no any special characters neither on my timeline nor my HDD-s. etc.
Make sure you've got Read & Write permissions on that drive (do a Get Info on the Avid MediaFiles folder).
If the premissions seem in order, try exporting the AAF to your internal drive and then copying it to whereever it should be. Sometimes consolidation doesn't work with non-native drive formats.
Must think of something clever to go here...
Thank you for your reply!
I have checked all read and write permissions, all folder (and the whole HDD) are ok from this pint of veiw. In finder i can do all file manadgement process: copy, move, del etc.
It does not matter to where i would be my destinantion folder for my AAF, Avid strats to work on my source HDD's Creating folder. (OMFI or Avid Mediiafiles)
The only way to make it work to setup a new destination HDD drive (OS X Journaled formated) in the Media Creation/Consolidate/Transcode settings. Where Avid can do the .new.mxf media files.
Pain in the ass, you have to do a new partition on your internal drive (if you have enough free space left) to do this job. As far as i know in osx Avid cant work on the System drive. Neither you check out filter out system drive/filter out launch drive.
Does anyone have this issue? Is it fixed in later release?
Thnaks.
I don't believe Avid likes non-native drive formats.
Can't you create the AAF to the desktop? We do that all the time.

You can use the boot drive for Consolidating. 3 steps:
1. Enable access by unchecking the filter for the System drive in the Media Creation settings.
2. Create the Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1 file path manually.
3. Select the Avid MediaFiles folder on the System drive and do a Get-Info (Cmd-I). Set the permissions to Read/Write for your user account. Click on the gear at the bottom of the Get-Info window. Select "Apply to enclosed items" (you'll probably need to enter your password here).
Note: Never, ever, ever, click on the Macintosh HD itself and change the permissions to "Apply to enclosed items". Do this only on the Avid MediaFiles folder only or "Bad Things Will Happen".

Hi! Thank you for your reply!
To where do i put the Avid MediaFiles folder? I have try to create both on
MY_HDD_NAME/Avid MediaFiles
and
I really couldn't say if I've ever tried to export an AAF from an NTFS partition on mymac - possibly - I've certainly done linked only media ones. I don't use Paragon on the Mac (use it on the PC for mac formatted drives). Instead I use TuxeraNTFS - I think it has a free trial period. Not for any particular reason - simply I started with that.
I don't know if that will solve your particular issue but it's free to try.

Can we go back to the way audio nodes used to be selected? Please? ie if you have audio nodes at the same time on selected tracks; then selecting 1 audio node selects them all at that time. Having to shift select nodes or add an in and out is time consuming and counter productive. At least make it an option.
Avid MediaFiles folder goes on the root (topmost) level of your HD. If it's inside any other folder it won't work.
Once you make the Avid MediaFiles folder and the enclosing items (MXF and a folder inside of that named 1), change the permissions before launching Avid. Finally, uncheck Filter out System drive on the first tab of the Media Creation settings.
You need to create the folder and set its permissions first, then access it via Media Creation settings.
HI!
