Also check whether your timeline settings have "Show Marked Waveform." If that box is checked, no waveform will show up unless you've marked an In and Out. That little box has tripped up a couple editors i know. --Evan

I often get this message if I have to rescan a drive with audio precomputes on it. In my case MC seems not to like the precomputes generated by the Time Shift or Time Compression Expansion Audiosuite plugin. Nevertheless, if I click Ignore All, all my audiosuite renders remain online and accessible. I'm sure this isn't Avid-recommended, and

I'm just using the mouse, actually... It seems that Dock Hiding is application-specific, so when it's On in Avid it's actually still Off in Finder. I just found I can make the problem go away by turning it On in Finder also, which I've done, but something's still changed between 2.7.x/Tiger and 3.x/Leopard Thanks, --Evan

In the realm of Avid problems, this one is very minor, but I've become annoyed with MC's insistence on hiding the Finder dock in Leopard. I have all of my Unity workspaces mounted, but when I click in and out of Avid, all the icons rearrange themselves due to the dock hiding and unhiding. Because of this, when I click on a drive, the icons move

Cool, I'll test that out tomorrow. Thanks! --Evan

Hi- I'm just starting a film that wants to include some 720/24pN footage from an HVX-200 along with our 35mm stuff. Is there a recommended workflow for turning P2 information and media over to a DI house once we're ready to start that process?

Not sure about that, but there was a time when this feature worked. I used it on a film back in 2006 and it worked as promised, and when on a subsequent film I tried to use it again in th exact same way but on a different version of MC, it no longer worked. I replicated exactly the steps I used the first time, and on the newer version of MC it was a

BLKDOG, Not to make you repeat yourself more than you already have here, but are you sure that you can use another computer attached to the internet to deactivate a license?

When selecting Change Sample Rate on your master music clips, if you select Delete Original Media (ie trash the 44.1 media files and keep the new 48 only), I think that will do what you want. All of your volume, pan, and keyframe info should remain the same, and the clips in your timeline will switch automatically to the new 48k media files. --Evan

Try sticking a 16:9 letterbox effect on your top video layer and export that (under the Reformat category)... or take your anamorphic QT into Compressor or Quicktime Pro and re-save it with a letterbox, I'm pretty sure either will let you go from 16:9 anamorphic to letterbox. --Evan
