Avid MC 6.5 Multiclip problems
Hi everybody
I’m a new Avid editor coming From FPC. I’ve been working with AVID for about a month and I’m getting use with it.
Now I’m working with multiclip but when I set the multiview and I start edit The preview crash every second and I can’t edit with the angle preview. What’s the problem? Could be The grafic card?
I’m editing with DvcproHd material.
I’ve AMA linked first, transcoded every clip after and then group clip.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Off the top of my head I can’t think of what might be causing this. If you hadn’t transcoded your clips it might have been that. My guess is it is the multiangle view taxing your system.
Have you tried lowering the quality of your preview? You can do this by clicking the green/yellow box at the bottom left of your screen.
Can I ask the specs of the computer you are working on?

Yes I did. I lowered the quality of my preview but nothing changed.
I’m working with the transcoded files and I’ve transcoded these in DVCProHD codec.
I’m working on a Mac Pro 2008 3,2GHz Intel Xeon quad core. 12 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM. NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB.
Thanks a lot -

What I suggest you try is transcoding on a lower resolution codec like DNxHD 45 MXF, doing your edit and then when ready batch import your final sequence at your DVCProHD to do color correction and final export. This way the editing should be faster and you should have overall better performance but not sacrifice on quality- just a couple extra steps.
If this still does not work, it could be your graphics card. Mine has 1gb of memory and I still experience the occasional slowdown when doing multicam.

I’ll try that Way thank you Very much For the suggest.

What kind of hard drive is your footage stored on? Is it a RAID? Likewise, how are you connecting to it? Firewire 800 should be the absolute minimum. E-sata would be preferable.
