  Output Masks not working! Am I missing something?

  Posted by Bryan Colvin on January 27, 2014 at 3:29 am

  Specs:

  Mac Mini 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
  Memory: 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3
  OS X 10.9.1
  Avid MC 7.0.3 TRIAL

  Its trial until my box comes in a few days, maybe this glitch is because its a trial version, but everything else works fine.

  Anyway I have the following project settings:

  Project Type: 1080P/23.976
  Aspect Ratio:16:9
  Color Space: YCbCr 709
  Raster Dimension: 1920×1080
  Stereoscopic: Off
  Mask Margins: 2.40:1 (what they shot it at)
  (settings show up as top:12.96%, bottom:12.96%, left:0, right:0)

  I hit apply on the mask margins and ok to close that dialogue.

  now in both source and timeline windows I right click and select:

  Target Mask->Black Mask

  nothing at all 🙁

  I tried it in Full Screen mode, and not in full screen mode. I tried to close and re-open the project after applying the mask margins

  nothing

  what am I missing here?

  I’d love to get this working so i can stop putting a widescreen matte track over everything

  thanks!

  I did notice that it worked on my PC based 7.0.3 system, but not on a Mac based system (7.0.2). I will try with 7.0.3 on a Mac to confirm whether it works there or not. In the meantime, you may want to try new user settings to see if that changes anything.

  Maybe it has to do with the trial version somehow.

  If it goes away when I plug the license in I’ll let you know. Otherwise I’ll just have to report the bug to avid
