Bump.

Hi Andy,

1) I am using V14.0.1
2) Windows 10.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40GHz
16.0 GB of RAM

Although it is a couple of years old I did build the PC with the intention of it being used for editing.

I did wonder if it might be a frame rate issue as there is footage from a number of mobile phones and they all have varying frame rates. I just tried to convert some of the footage in Media Encoder but the same issue occurs. There’s nothing wrong with the actual videos themselves as they play through fine when I watch them through VLC.

Hi Cassius/Kalleheikki

Thanks for your responses. Firstly, using a single tracking point on the frame rather than trying to use two on the screen has made it so much better! Didn’t realise it could be tracked to anything, thought it had to be on the screen. There’s still some moments where it slightly shifts away but I think a bit of frame by frame position/corner pinning adjustments could solve that.

In the interest of what you recommended Kalleheikki, just incase that also helps, could you elaborate on the specific steps a bit more please? When I tried it, the footage that’s meant to be on screen would shift away from the it whenever the second tracking point started.

Thank you.

That didn’t yield any results.

Ended up solving it through Premiere. Set up a sequence with Multi-channel audio. Set up 8 channels, had the 5.1 going through the first 6 then two monos for 7 & 8.

Hi Brent/Michael,

Noted about the 24bit/44.1KHz audio settings. Thank you.

I’m the one making the DCP as well, I’ve made a couple so I’ve generally got a hand on everything in regards to the visual aspects of it.

Unfortunately, I’m still running into issues with the audio. I’ve set up the sequence with 8 mono tracks and adjusted the panning on the tracks accordingly. In the export I’ve set the Channels to 7.1 and the Audio Format to 7.1, DCP-o-matic is detecting the 8 channels and I’m making sure that the VI is assigned to channel 8. However, when I test the DCP on CinePlayer, the VI is playing from channel 3! I’m not sure if it’s the ProRes file I’ve made that’s the issue or I’m making an error with making the DCP?

Just switched everything to a Mac formatted drive and that worked!

Seems so bizarre that this should still be an issue for Avid.

I have read a couple of threads which suggest this might be the issue, it does seem strange that it has yet to be solved.
I’m guessing the only solution would be to shift everything to a Mac formatted drive.

Sadly it still comes up with the same error ????

[Adam Harper]

I felt it wasn’t the mixdown, but just wanted to be sure.

Initially couldn’t consolidate it, it was just coming up with this error message;

But then I realised I wasn’t saving it to the drive with the AvidMediaFiles folder, then it appeared to have worked.

Unfortunately, regardless of whether I consolidate the AAF or link to the media, or whichever hard drive I try get it to save to. It still comes up with the same message.

These are the settings I’m using when consolidating, in case if anything is wrong there. (I’m not sure why it’s talking about video when there’s no video in the sequence?)

The project isn’t in my documents folder, is that potentially an issue?

Feel free to ask for more screenshots if things aren’t clear.

Hi Shane,

I tried stripping the video and it produced the same error message.
How do I consolidate the audio prior to making the AAF, is that the audio mixdown?

In regards to the project folder, I’m sure you knew what I meant the first time round but I just feel I should make it clear that I mean the project folder is on a different external hard drive to the AvidMediaFiles folder. The error does seem to indicate towards the external hard drive (BC) containing the AvidMediaFiles folder in it’s error message.
