Well, unfortunately they didn’t figure anything out that I heard anyway, We ended up upgrading the machine to Mojave and reinstalling everything and that took care of the problem… not the answer I was hoping to have, but it got me back working. There was a lot of talk about third-party plug-ins etc, but there were none involved so I don’t know what to think. Anyway, back working, so happy days.

I was trying to respond yesterday but was being flagged as spam activity! Anyway, here is an Adobe article talking about this problem, our Avid guys are going to remote in with Adobe today to try and take care of this, so hopefully it is going to be taken care of.

I have had this happen occasionally when I have fast-imported ProRes into an Avid project, every once in a while a clip gets corrupted somehow and stops at the same point every time. The only workaround I ever found was to re-import the clip, not as a fast import, but as a full DNxHD145 import. Hope this helps.

Try turning on the Video SG (item number 41.2 on the config menu) I believe that will allow you to record without a camera attached. I can’t be sure as I do not have one here with me, but I think that should work for you.

Is there any reason you aren’t reformatting? It is a quick process. The only reason I ask is that over three years of using the KiPros I have never had a problem with interchange, but then again, I do reformat rather than just erase or remove files.
-
I use 10 KiPros on the road, bring the drives back to offload the media, format them all on an 11th machine here at home and take them back out and haven’t ever had a problem with that… I haven’t switched to vers 3 software yet, but I can’t imagine that would introduce an interchange problem. When you say “Wiped” how is that happening?

Ha! I’m afraid I did, long, long ago…

Yipes, okay; well fingers crossed, we’ll keep pushing in this direction and as I learn more I’ll post… Thank you for your help!

Okay, so here’s some stuff I don’t understand. I do understand that the .msm and .mdb files are there in the Avid MediaFiles folder, and that they will be re-written when either avid accesses that folder. But for the heck of it, we hooked up the two Avids to the StorNext that is set up as Xsan, no fibreJet involved, and it sure seemed to be working just fine; we both had the same project open, with big sequences accessing the same media, imported some files from one avid and accessed them from the other… it all seemed to be fine. But, I can’t help but be suspicious that there is something bad right around the corner just waiting to bite us. I mean if it was really this easy, why aren’t more people doing it this way, and also why are there companies whose sole existence seems to be ways to make this work? Does it matter that we are only ever going to have just the two systems hooked up, and that we really don’t need to have the same project open (we just did that to try and break it…) I know it’s not like Unity, it doesn’t really have to be for us, all we want is to share media… It sure seems to be working, but something just doesn’t smell right…

why, yes, at the time I absolutely needed to have all three, although I have to confess that was …ahem… quite a few years ago, and at the moment I can’t quite remember exactly what was going through my mind; something about rick nielsen and cheap trick and maybe a bad habit or two…
but anyway, thanks for the info, as I gather more info I will ask a better question.
