Exciting announcements across the board, and certainly from Avid at #IBC2025

These past few weeks, I've been embarking on the sisyphean task of migrating a sequence from Premiere into Avid. (Long story, don't ask). I exported out my AAF, imported into Avid, but when I try to open the sequence I get the following error message:

Exception: Structured Exception, ExceptionCode 3221225477, ExceptionString: ACCESS_VIOLATION, FaultAddress: 00000000001EDA4CC, MiniDumpFileNam: 53eed54-a617-4144-8d65-3be6db13e50f.dmp

I then broke the sequence down into more manageable chunks, and was able to open the very beginning sequence, and was able to link all media. But every other sequence gave me that same error.

Avid tech support told me to trash the MCState file in my settings folder. Tried that, and still didn't resolve the issue.

I'm at a loss, and need to get this done and would prefer not to have to rebuild the project from scratch.

Running MC Ultimate 2025.6 on Windows 11 Pro on a PC with Intel Xeon w7-24575X Processor.

We're using Hush Pro 1.0.2 to clean up dialogue tracks. MC 2024.12.2. OS 13.7.6. M1 Ultra Chip.

Having an issue where I can only render the HushPro effect using the Audio Suite popup window, and going one clip at a time, rather than being able to mark in/out and rendering. There is no error. When I try to render in/out the window pops up like it is rendering and quickly disappears, while the clip still remains blue in the timeline. I've tried rendering at position as well, but to no avail. Anyone ever tried using this, or had the same issue with another 3rd party software that they had resolved?

I am trying to use Asio4All and Media Compsoer First to capture recordings from my microphone input, however there is no Capture Tool in Media Composer First. Ctrl+7 doesn't work either and i have removed and reinstalled the program already, what can i do?

pourquoi la fenêtre où se trouve les menus principaux en haut à gauche comme file Windows, tools etc. passe son temps à disparaître? quel est le raccourci pour la ramener à l'avant de l'interface? j'ai essayé avec table, je vérifie qu'elle est pas minimiser mais non elle a simplement disparu de mon interface et ça arrive tellement fréquemment que ça me fait perdre des heures à remettre les bines en place afin de la retrouver. il y a quelque chose que je fais mal mais je ne vois pas quoi. aidez-moi s'il vous plaît

cheers again! last time posting here you guys helped alot so i thought i should try again.

i've just recently purchased an mac and it doesnt have a numpad.

my job for now requires a lot of markers and beause there is no enter numpad, i have to click on ok box to mark, because "regular enter" adds a line.

so my question is how do i transform my enter in a numpad enter.

i tried command enter, option enter, control enter, everything enter, nothing,

so some post from like 10 years back and it was mentioned "keyboard classic mode"but i havent been able to locate that.

any idea is much appreciated!

cheers!

I need new .ACSM files to activate my Avid ebooks because when I first got them on my laptop through Adobe Digital Editions I didn't authorize them using my adobe account. Now I can't open them even after authorizing using my Adobe account, using a different Adobe account, or using any other E-Readers. But for the life of me I can't find a place to submit my specific question through Avid's website.

Sorry in advance for my english.

I would like to know if there's a way to desactivate this: each time that I'm trimming a clip, a cut appears in the empty video track and I want to keep the synch lock on there's clip on the second video tracks at some other moment in the timeline. The link is a video that showed the problem in question.

I'm on Avid 2024.10.0

Thanks in advance!

Hello! I was looking to download the package of Avid codecs for Adobe Media Encoder from this site, but they only have a windows version to download. I haven't been able to find the mac equivalent - anybody know where/how to find that?

Has anyone ever experienced miss-ordering of pixels and excessive levels of blur with the DNXHD codec?

I can't show examples, but I have two shots with nearly identical metadata, and one comes out of the codec flawlessly, and the other comes out choppy and destroyed in comparison. They are from two separate sequences, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why one shot is being disordered by the codec and the other is not.

I've used imagemagik, ffmpeg, and nuke to output the movie files and they all result in the same disordered pixels. I'm at a loss. I had to switch to prores to be able to deliver a viewable movie files. Has anyone ever experienced this before?

Hey all,

I'm editing an indie feature film. The workflow I used was to transcode the 4Ks into little proxies and edit with those, and now that I am done editing I'm trying to rename the Avid MediaFiles folder just to something like "AvidxMediaFiles" so that Avid cannot detect the proxies and so that I can relink to the 4K. This half-works, because some of the footage relinked to the 4K no problem. However a lot of the movie did not. I noticed this was because the footage that did not relink actually doesn't have the drive letter in the drive column in the metadata. For files that relinked, the drive path says "Working J:". For files that didn't relink it simply says "Working" with no drive letter. I did not change the drive letter while working on the film. Does anybody know how I can get Avid to recognize that the J: drive is where all my footage is?? Thank you all.

Has anyone experienced frustrating behavior in Media Composer after switching to effects mode? It seems like Avid is confused about what to display in the right side playback window's timeline. It should only display keyframes, but instead displays the main timeline status along with markers, even when I move in th effect window. When you hover over a keyframe, it tries to display keyframes, but still glitching with the main timeline.

What could be causing this?

Hello all - hope you can help -

I'm trying to create an effect where a newspaper page fills the screen but the headline separates out and drifts toward the viewer. I've doubled the clip and want to crop out the headline and add the scaling using 3D Warp on the top layer; I also add a temp color effect so I can see the differences of the layers. Due to the size of the news clipping scan (tiny), I have to use BCC Pan and Zoom in order to select the text I need. But I'm finding that after I add the second effects to the nested layers, they aren't visible.

Is it possible to add effects to a BCC Pan and Zoom? Is there a crop feature within the BCC effect that I'm not finding? Hope someone has some wisdom - Thanks!

Hello all,

I need to export a track using the list tool but every clip on the track is a Filler clip. It seems filler clips are not recognized by the list tool at all. Is it possible to convert these clips to something else so that they are able to show up as a generated list?

I just downloaded the trial version in order to test something out. But every time I open it I get the message "Avid Media Composer quit unexpectedly." I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling. And still get the same message. I saw some folks say to delete the Avid FatalErrorReports folder, and I did that, but to no avail. Can anyone give me some pointers?

Running Sonoma on an M1 Mac mini. I've tried both MC 24.12 and 25.6.

Is it just me, or is AVID's Waveform Sync much slower than Premiere Pro's relative function?

In Premiere Pro, I am used to syncing by waveform taking maybe a few minutes for a day of footage.
I used to use PluralEyes with AVID, but since that is discontinued, I tried AVID's latest Waveform Sync function, and it is taking a very long time to sync one day of footage that consists of just one camera and one external audio source. Fairly standard documentary day of shooting.

Just wondering if I'm missing anything, workflow wise? I have checked a few tutorials and none of them seem to indicate there is much behind just hitting "Waveform Sync" either after highlighting all clips in a sequence, or all clips in a bin.

absolutely crazy drain, considering I didnt even use any avid apps in the last week

About to do avid 201 exam, I aim to do 210 too, I am fortunate enough to get it for free. Can someone explain what good actually comes from doing these, I have heard a lot of what I am learning I may not actually use but at the same time I feel like I am learning a lot of useful information from taking the courses.
