Hello all, I am facing the prospect of temporarily taking a 7.0.3 originated project on to an 8.6.3 system, doing some work, and then bringing it back to the original 7.0.3 system. Has anyone happened to have had this experience, and did it work smoothly? I know it's a rather specific set of parameters. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or conjecture

Thanks, Jack, for your incredibly precise and thoughtful reply here. Apologies for the delayed response in thanking you for it. I haven't migrated my client's system yet, but I feel confident it will work when the time comes. Thank you again for chipping in with your experience with all of the same hardware/software combos.

Hi everyone, I'm working with a Mid 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 running Mac OS X 10.8.5. It's a 2 x 2.66 6-Core machine (12 cores total), and I would like to update the OS X to 10.11.5 El Capitan so I can upgrade my Avid MC from 6.5.4 to 8.6.x. This machine does appear to be on the list of Apple qualified systems for MC 8.6.x as seen here: http://avid

Hello all, I'm working in MC6 with Red MX dailies through AMA for a short film. Picture and audio were recorded separately and their timecode does not match. Therefore, I'm having to sync dailies manually with In-points through Autosync. However, when I do this, the resulting clip has image alterations. The video is now darker and desaturated

Interesting and useful writeup, thanks for the link.

Thanks so much for the information and advice. It's really helpful. I think I'll try the onboard chipset for sound and see how that performs. I'm wondering, has anyone used a Matrox MX02 Mini successfully with a Sandy Bridge chip in their system? Thanks again in advance for any thoughts. Best, Bret

Hello all, I'm about to build a Windows 7 PC machine for the primary purpose of editing on MC 5.5. I'm trying to stay as close to Avid's system requirements as possible. However, I see that recommended sound cards are no longer listed. In fact, I can't find anything related to sound. Can anyone point me toward sound cards that are considered

Hi guys, I am about to upgrade my PC so that it can run MC 3.5. I am trying to figure out which Sound card and Firewire card to go with. There are no specific models listed under the System Requirements for these parts. I have always gone with Creative sound cards. I am currently running an Audigy 2 ZS which is a bit old. Can anyone vouch for the newer

Hi all, I am getting the following error message when I try to load MC: "Exception: WINREG_CREATE_KEY_FAILED" I am on MC 3.0, and the message comes up when "Initializing Audio" is still on the startup process. It chokes on Initializing Audio for a few seconds before the message comes up. So I'm not sure if it is getting past

Thanks very much you guys. I appreciate it.
