    It’s no secret that Adrenaline still has many bugs to be worked out but has anyone else experienced disapperaing buttons? Acts like a ram issue, really. They’ll appear usually if I cursor over em. Other times they won’t.
    Also, I notice many keyboard strokes become inactive randomly. Like marking an in point or applying a dissolve. Just beeps at me and I have to mouse it. It starts working right (whatever that is) randomly soon after. Have any of you found a fix for this?
    How about the audio pops from converted sample rate clips? Anytime they are rendered, a pop happens at the edit.

    I am finding work arounds for many bugs but I gotta think there are tricks to prevent at least two of the three probs I listed above.

    I get audio pops quite a lot but in my case I don’t think it’s a sample rate thing.
    My footage is digitized at 48k and my audio project is set to 48k.
    Sometimes I can view the audio tracks sample plot and see a little tick mark where the pop is,
    other times there is no mark on the timeline. If the pop is on an imported clip sometimes I just re-import the same file and the pop is gone. I also get a lot of corrupt audio dissolve renders, but it only seems to happen when the dissolve is 5 seconds or longer.
    Pretty frustrating.

    yeah, anything that adds needless time to the session is quite frustrating.
    this thing flashes me back to the Premiere Daze bigtime.

    I find that the add dissolve (or quick transition) beeps at me too but, its usually “operator error” – you have to be very aware of which of your tracks are highlighted and where you are on the timeline. You can’t have two video tracks highlighted – it will beep at you.

    Are you running thru an extendit box of some kind? I had all sorts of problems with those…

    No sir.
    Seems to be getting worse now though. Anytime I apply a dissolve without rendering it I lose all access to all buttons. I can’t even push play with the mouse now. If I load a clip in the source window, it wakes up and allows me to keep editing.
    As long as I apply and render it doesn’t do this.

    Tried reinstalling the Media Composer software?

    gonna do it today when my client leaves.
    2.8.1 seems to be the least of all evils so far. Any suggestions on which one my have the least bugs?
    I’d love native HDV but I am hearing to stay away from that version due to memory bugs.

    this is ridiculous

    Try making new user settings for yourself…seems to fix a lot of wacky problems here…apparently they get corrupted rather easily.

    Keep a copy backed up so you dont have to re-make them from scratch the next time it happens.

    I’m all afraid that’d import the goofyness. lol
    Just reinstalled everything. I’m tired and fussy. We’ll see how it acts tomorrow.
