  Issues with Consolidating Sequences

  Posted by Mike Noneofyourbusiness on September 15, 2014 at 4:59 am

  Hi,

  I am having some trouble consolidating sequences in MC5.

  I have 7 rushes drives on a unity server that need to be wiped for the next series of this show about to be shot next week. What I need is to consolidate a bunch of bins onto one Unity drive so that the stuff we want to keep is moved off the rushes drives before wiping them.
  What we are trying to keep are things such as wild lines, gag reel and Christmas reel material, sizzle reel material, gfx sequences etc.
  Any media and effect files consolidate absolutely fine, but the second MC hits a sequence it just hangs and eventually you get the spinning color wheel of death and need to force quit. I left it over the weekend in case it was just struggling to get through but it just doesn’t finish. I sometimes gets quite a few files in other times it happens one or two files into the consolidation.

  Any suggestions as to why this will not work would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you.

  Running MC5.0.4.4
  Mac OS 10.6.8
  2 x 3 GHz Quad core Intel Xeon
  14gb 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DiMM
  Unity Server
