  • title need render!!

    Posted by Harriet Ja on May 15, 2006 at 4:49 pm

    Hey guys
    i have a very strange problem , i am translating a movie for a client using the avid xpress pro with mojo. What is really strange is that after saving the title and editing it into the sequence and playing it i cant see the title i have to render it , more than that is that when i try to play the title in the source monitor i cant see it all i get is black. I thought that was because i’m saving the titles 1:1 but now that its in dv240 i still have that problem
    what is wrong ?!!!
    i never had this problem before
    by the way after taking the hard drive to the client he had the same problem when he needed to do any change to the title he had to render too

    ***** the render on the fly is checked so its not the problem

    That is so interesting that you are having this problem and posting it now because I have just encountered the very same problem on my Xpress Pro (no Mojo). My titles were all there as they normally should be and always have been and then one recently they would not display. Just black in the timeline and in the source monitor. I’d open it up in effects mode and there it would be, and then I’d render it and be able to see it in the in the source monitor and in the timeline. I can only create video in DV25 so it can’t be a wrong resolution issue. I too am at a loss to explain this.

    OK,pay close attention to this answer because next to rebooting, it probably is the answer to many a problem and strange occurances on your avid. Trash your MCstate. This is part of your settings for your avid. If it gets corrupt it causes problems so just trash it and the avid will create a new one when you boot up.

    On your desktop, open your c: drive, open your program files,open your avid file,open your Xpress Pro file (that is what you have, right? I forget), open your settings file and you should find your MCstate there.

    Worked for me. Thanks Jon Z.
