When working with large (several thousand stories) queues the CTMS performance takes a nose dive. Frequently attempts to update a story fail with a Gateway Timeout error. This usually has a knock-on effect in that the story unlock also fails leaving the queue with unwanted locked stories. This also impacts...

"If you want reliability and rock solid stability, you want to use Avid", they said. So here I am, with a one month license to try and test it. My system is not certified, not the latest or greatest, still, it runs Resolve 18, Lightworks, Premiere Pro 23, After Effects 23, Fusion, Unreal Engine...

I am getting ready to set up a project that will be working with XDCAM HD 50Mbit footage and I was wondering if there is any reason to make proxies or if it will be fine to work with the HD footage. The only issues I can think of is space limitations on our nexis or slow perfmormance if the systems can't...

Does anyone use Media Composer on a new M1 Mac and can tell me if its possible to edit a native HEVC UHD Codec via AMA-Link - for example from the Sony a7s III? For example in 50p? For Final Cut, Davinci Resolve and Premiere this should be no issue, but is it possible in avid as well without transcoding...

I discovered a problem, that avid media composer 2018 to 2021.09. handels alpha graphics very poorly. If you import several icons and pictures with an alpha channel and try to make a realtime playback some of the source video footage will disapear and shown blank, if you stop the playback it will show...

I have two performance related issues with my Avid MC 8.6.0 (Perpetual License) that I have been struggling with: 1. Working with Linked Media is painfully slow, forcing me to import / transcode all media before I can work in the timeline. This affects both HD and 4K projects. 2. It is nearly impossible...

I note that renderng takes some time, and also, wihile HD editng is smooth, playback in 4K stutters. Watching Windows Resource Monitor, I see that the boittleneck is disk speed for these operations. The CPUs are nearly idle and RAM is mostly unused, but the disk I/O queue is around 5 (generally speakjing...

I'm working on a multi-season, episodic tv show. We have a "Projects" partition where each season of episodes is separated into different folders. We only work out of the latest folder, but it's not uncommon to open a bin from another, older project, so it's handy to have them all...

I want to share with everybody something that I just discovered. Call it a bug or call it a feature that doesn't perform as expected. Basically, in a short sequence where a lot of the clips have FrameFlex applied to them, Media Composer takes a serious performance hit. I have a 9-minute sequence...

Hi, I've something to ask you, When I make a playback of my Timeline, when I want to move the headline or when I'm triming clips (in 1080p) the software is not really reactive like before (even if I made a "Clean Bin Memory")... obviously, my hardware hasn't changed so far. So is...
