  • “Segmentation Fault”????

    Posted by Ross Spears on July 1, 2016 at 4:48 pm

    I am using AVID MC 4.5 on a long form documentary, and I have been using it for four years. I have had very few problems. Lately, when I attempt to cut or overwrite a shot into my time line the AVID will pause and then give me a dreaded message saying: “Segmentation Fault” in thread “Main Thread”, at address 0x0. And then, after I click an OK button, the AVID program will suddenly quit. What is going on????

    The only way I can proceed is by shutting down completely, turning off the hard drives, waiting a bit, and then rebooting. I have to remember to save after every procedure so I don’t lose my work!

    I would love to know what might be going on??? What does “Segmentation Fault” usually refer to??

    Thanks,

    Ross Spears

    Welcome to Avid 🙂

    Kidding aside its one of the oldest errors I’ve encountered and still ongoing with no answer in sight.
