    Newbie question here,

    I am running Avid Symphony 6 on a 12 core mac pro running Lion and after spending a couple of hours going through Lynda tutorials, suddenly I can seem to scrub properly in the source or the timeline. When I grab the playhead and move it, I just get a still frame, and it only updates when I let it go. I can hear the audio scrubbing fine, and I can JKL around no problem. Also, double clicking clips doesn’t immediately load them into the source window, I have to click on the window for it to update.

    Have I just accidentally pressed some obscure “no scrubs” button (like the silent but deadly “W” key in FCP)? Or is this a bug or what?

    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    Had this the other day. Wasn’t sure what caused it but restarting AVID didn’t solve it. Restarting the computer did.

    That’ll just turn on and off sound scrubbing.

    oh yea, when i hear “Scrubbing” automatically thing audio. You should definately be able to sxcrub video w/o any extra settings.

    Thanks guys, a system restart sorted it out. Hopefully this isn’t a frequent bug because it’s pretty annoying.
