MC 5 viewing problem
I know most people are up to MC 6, which I might do so as well, but I recently updated my PC computer to Windows 7 (32 bit prof.) and re-installed my MC5, which I purchased last year (purchased MC4 the year before).
After installation and getting it to open proplerly, I imported a MOV clip edited on my older AVID and encountered a problem.
I cannot playback the clip and see an image in either of the two screens. I see the file/timeline in each window. I hear the soundtrack fine and I can see frame images move if I drag the cursor along the time-line (good quailty too). Is their some switch/button I’m missing for some mode I might be in?
Another bug I’ve encountered (related?)… when I try and adjust the screen size of either monitor boxes, they disappear and I have to click on the toolbar drag-down menu for “Source editing” to get the screens back. I want to create an editing set up that’s comfortable for me and I can’t make any adjustments without loosing the screens.
I have been off editing AVID for awhile, and I like being back… I just don’t like the bugs I’m encountering… If this happens now, what will be with MC 6??

Win 7 32-bit was never qualified for use with MC5. See the Avid Version Matrix. https://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=267087

Hello Job ter Burg-
I thank you for your reply.
Well.. that takes care of that issue…. I frankly hadn’t looked at MC5’s compatability with W7… since seemed to operated fine on my XP OS I didn’t think to check the bit rate.
No doubt I will have to already up-grade to 64 bit and re-install everything. So close and yet so far, and a costly mistake. Yet at least I know what should be the problem.
All the best,
David
