Hi We got BCC Lite with our Symphony system (Mac Pro with Nitris DX). In the downloads page it says "No serial number required" but when I use one of the effects I get a watermark saying it is running in demo mode. If I click on the "upgrade' button in the Effects Editor the BCC Lite effects are listed and it asks for a serial number

Hi I've recentlyupgraded to MC8.3 (from MC8.2). On my Win7 pc I now get a Fatal Error when trying to import files and the same if I AMA/consolidate them. So far I've tried deleting the media databases (including the one in the application folder) and also the MC State file and creating a new user. I also tried to reinstall Media composer but

A quick question about how people deal with naming clips in a (traditional) offline/online workflow. I shoot mostly with a GH3 at the moment and the playback is a bit stuttery in Avid. So my current workflow is to bring in the clips with AMA, transcode it all to DNxHD36, do the edit, relink back to the AMA clips and take an AAF to Resolve for grading

Yes, there's no problem there. You can move projects back and forth without any issues that I can think of (someone else may know more...) I work in a similar scenario and it works fine. If you do colour grading on the Symphony and then work on the sequence in Media Composer you can't access the extra tabs with more detailed features in the

Hi This just happened several times in a row so I'm sure it's not me. I'm trying to export a bunch of stills, I've got locators on the frames I want to export and I'm marking out different sections along the sequence as I go to give each scene a new file name. But the export function is ignoring the in/out marks and exporting every

Great minds! I'd just done that when I saw your reply. Worked perfectly! The audio seemed to come in fine. Why did you think I might need to add it separately? QTPro is such useful tool for odd things like this. The new Quicktime player lets you trim files and copy/paste but it won't let you mark In and Out points accurately with a keystroke

When I use the Import command it just does a regular import, not a fast one. Thanks though.

I may have just worked out part of the issue. There was a few seconds of filler at the end of the sequence where the audio mix was longer than the video mixdown. When I exported this was probably filled with 1:1 video media, resulting in a quicktime file that had mostly DNxHD185X media, but a few seconds of 1:1 at the end. The question now is how can

I've been mastering programmes as DNxHD quicktime files for a while now and generally it works fine (I also backup consolidated media from the master sequence...). Most of our work is using DNxHD120 and if I need to bring footage back in I just link to AMA and consolidate the section I need. On a new series I used DNxHD185X instead since we had

I love that now titles will automatically be edited on the sequence as they are created. Can we have the same feature for video mixdowns (like how audio mixdowns do already). So yo can mark a region on a track above the clips (or have an option to create a new video track) and once the video mixdown is rendered it is automatically placed into the sequence
