  • Avid Express won’t complete Index

    Posted by Steven Carter on February 19, 2008 at 10:14 pm

    My AvidExpress Pro crashed coming out of an effect and locked up. When I relaunched the program it started to scan for media then index with no success. I killed the FMID and NNIB files forcing it to rebuild index, but keeps giving me corrupted file errors. Tried moving all files out of omfi folder forcing Avid to create a new file but no success. Any suggestions to solve this issue. Thanks

    Go into your media file folders and move the files to another folder. Try starting your Avid. If Avid starts and the databases rebuild, then you do have file corruption somewhere. Add files back into the Media Folders (usually sort by file creation date – oldest first and 1 month at a time). After adding a month restart your Avid. When you get to the point that the Avid databases won’t rebuild, then you’ve found the range of files causing the problem and you can narrow down from there.
