  Sequence Failure

  Posted by Chip Hess on September 25, 2019 at 9:33 pm

  iMac late 2014
  32GB RAM
  High Sierra
  MC 8.5.3

  I am suddenly unable to open a sequence created on Monday,on my work PC system.

  I brought media and project home.
  Today, opening it on my home system causes Avid to crash.
  Re-indexed media, duplicated sequence, deleted MC State, then created new project
  to import and open it. No go, each time.

  I am out of the typical approaches, any suggestions?

  Open the bin but not the sequence. In the Console, type “reparisequences”. It will attempt to fix media-related issues.
  You can also try uninstalling third party AVX plugins and see if the sequence will open without it. If it does, reinstall each plugin one a time.

  Dom,
  It worked!
  This is great, thanks much.
  No idea this function was viable.

  Awesome. The command seems to fix the discrepancy between the edited media on the timeline and the actual media file. For example, the timeline will reference x amount of audio samples or frames, when in fact it needs to reference y.

  Great to hear it works.
