    Hey!

    Would really appreciate some help on this one.

    Background —

    I’ve used avid to create transcripts of everything, and then generated scripts from my sunc groups and subclips. Great. Works fine.

    Here’s where the problem is–

    The scripts have this problem of big blocky text, so I’ve gone in and manually broken up the large sections for accuracy. Obviously then I need to reapply the clip that created the script for more accurate sync marks.

    When I attempt to use ScriptSync AI (which I’ve successfully done before in this project) I’m recieving the following error.

    Exception:std::exception, what:Failed to create transform rule

    I’ve attempted to place audio at the top of the multigroup (I saw some forum posts about this working) no use.

    I’ve attempted to update my machine and avid version (actually the old error said that the media was offline but it wasn’t).

    I’ve attempted to refresh my media directories.

    I’ve attempted to nuke the MCSTATE

    I’m close to invading a foreign country to fix this. Please help me.

    Current setup:

    2022 Mac Studio M1 Max

    Sequoia 15.6

    Media Composer 2025.6. 0

    Hi Chris – sorry I don’t have a fix for you but I’m having what sounds like exactly the same problem. Did you ever find a solution to this?
