I like BIG bins and I can not lye…you other editors can’t deny.
I’ve come to inherit a project of a LARGE documentary. After combing over all the bins and looking the project over, it seems I have a problem!
The bin with all the final sequences in it will not open. It’s a long error, but I get the feeling that it’s to big to open with the resource available.
We just upgrade to the latest Media Composer software too.
Any help would be great! Considering all I need to change is a few cg and and an end graphics…I really don’t want to rebuild this from scratch:)

Can you open it with your media drives unmounted?
if so, move some of your sequences to a new bin.

You will need RAM. How much is in there?

Thanks guys for the all the help. I had no idea about the 99 items in a bin rule!
Anyway, it’s a RAM issue. The only time I can open the bin is when the Avid has been fired up the first time or on a restart. The bin in question has a file size of 180,665 K!
I opened the bin, walked down the hall to refill my coffee, came back and then the bin opened:) It took a while to gather it’s brains:)
There were about 12 duplicate sequences–all with different revised dates. The doc is a hour and it’s a pretty intensive doc. I moved half the sequences to a new bin. That helped.
I finally just moved the one sequence I needed to a new bin and the bin file size is still like 30,000 K!
I checked the computer and there is only 2.25 GBs of RAM!!!! I had no idea it was that small! I’m sending an email to our engineer (who originally speced it!) that we need to max the RAM out. I just assumed it was.
I’ll update the thread if anything new arises.
Thanks again for the help! -
