Activity Forums Avid Media Composer “Segmentation fault” error message

  • “Segmentation fault” error message

    Posted by Daniel Schultz on September 18, 2014 at 11:23 am

    Have a Media Composer project file that gives me the following message and then crashes each time I open it:
    “Segmentation fault” in thread “MainThread”, at address 0x0

    Another project seems to open fine.
    Just consolidated about 50gb of files last night from the project with problems.
    (NINJA DNxHD to MXF)

    I deleted the database file from the Avid MediaFile MXF folder (1) and let it rebuild new ones.
    I restarted my machine.

    Still the same problem.

    Hoping to not have to rebuild the whole project from scratch.
    On a deadline for a client, of course!!

    Thanks for any help, advice!

    Ok…I *Might* have fixed it.
    I seem to remember a similar problem from having “illegal” characters on files on the desktop.

    I removed the “( )” characters from a file on my desktop, and so far, so good.
