AVID won’t open
Posted by Timothy Lydon on November 21, 2013 at 8:49 pmHello,
My AVID project will not open. It just freezes right before the application is about to run the project. Any ideas?

November 21, 2013 at 9:15 pmIs it freezing right after you select which project to open? I’d try deleting the preferences file for your computer under that project. It will regenerate, but you can always back it up to feel safer.

November 21, 2013 at 9:30 pmIt freezes when I try to open any of my projects or even the application.
“I’d try deleting the preferences file for your computer under that project. It will regenerate, but you can always back it up to feel safer.” How do you do this?
Thanks!
Tim

November 22, 2013 at 10:55 amI don’t know if you fixed this or not but I just got same message.
I trashed MCState settings and didn’t help.
Then I restarted the Mac, zapped Pram while it restarted (hold cmd+opt+p+r until you hear the chime 2 times, I waited for 3).
Then I wanted to open the project with no bins so I held opt+shift while Avid started. I don’t know if I needed to hold both, but it asked me what audio I wanted to use, I picked Avid DX, then I had to let go of the keyboard for it to let me navigate to the project, selected it, held opt+shift while opening and it worked!Opened the project with no bins open and I’m good to go.
