Segmentation Fault in MainThread When AMA linking

Posted by Tim Demartin on February 24, 2014 at 7:10 pm

Whenever I attempt to AMA link to my card, this error pops up:

Alert

“Segmentation Fault” in thread “MainThread”, at address 0x0

The program then proceeds to then shut itself down.

I am running MC7. The AMA linking worked flawlessly in the past but is now acting up. In fact, the same error message will come up if I even plugged in my card- which has forced me to uncheck ‘Automatically AMA-link to volumes’ in AMA Settings -> Volume Mounting.

I know that it is not the card nor the card reader causing this issue as AMA linking works fine with our other workstations. Also, my read and write permissions are also not the issue. I have changed them on all of my drives.

I am attempting to AMA Link to AVCHD Media.

The most frustrating part is that every once in a while, I can AMA link a small number of files without error (say 3-6ish), but never the entire shot list.

This is becoming a critical issue as AMA linking is integral to our workflow in sports production. I hate to admit it, but I have had to revert back to Premiere on this machine.

I am working on a MacPro w/ OSX 10.8.5, 40GB Ram, 2×2.4GHZ 6-core Intel Xeon, ATI Radeon HD 5870.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

bump.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! I just upgraded to 7.0.3 and same issue. I have attempted to drag the .mts files off of the card, onto the drive and then AMA link… same issue. I am beyond stumped.

That’s really a tough one. Avid’s crash errors are never really all that helpful. This might sound like an extreme solution, but have you tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of Avid? If you do that and the error persists then it will point to a hardware/system error.

Thanks for the reply Brendan. I am in the process now of a complete uninstall and reinstall. I will let you know how it goes.

So I just did a complete uninstall and reinstall, attempted to link my AVCHD Media and boom, same error.

Go to /Library/Application Support/Avid/AVX2_Plug-Ins/AMA and remove the ARRI AMA plug-in. Then try AMA linking again.

I removed the Arri Plugin, restarted my machine and same thing. Does this top half of the crash report help at all?

That part of the report only tells me that you are using MC v7.0.3 with OS X v10.8.5 and that thread 0 (zero) crashed. Can you post all of the data from thread 0? That will be the information needed to start troubleshooting.

It looks like the AMA linking process involves the creation of AAF files. It looks like Apple code is being executed right before the crash occurs. Do you have read/write privileges for your media creation volume? Sorry I cannot provide more insight.

If you are referring to each individual drive -> right click -> get info -> privelege “Read and Write” then yes. All three drives I use, including the startup drive are all set to read and write for everyone.

I just reverted back to read only and then changed back to ‘read and write’, same segmentation fault. This is so frustratingly confusing!
