I find that my (very expensive) Avid Mojo DX system doesn’t like my JVC-BRHD50 deck in SD mode. It’s fine (90% fine) in HDV mode, but flip the switch and it totally vanishes.
My Final Cut Pro system (cheaper, and far less hassle) sees the deck just fine.
Had AVID tech support open a case, they can’t figure it out, had JVC check the deck, they say it’s fine, so yeah.. I feel your pain on this.
Just one more check in the “why to get away from AVID” column in my book.

So I’m stumped…
I downloaded the MediaSift app, and it just says “no media” next to the 2 drives that have Avid Media on them… one is an AVID raid, and the other is an internal drive (which has media by accident…).
I deleted and rebuilt the index files, and got some “Disc_Access_Error” messages, but didn’t think that would be a total showstopper.
The little app that everyone is raving about can’t find anything, and I’m sure it’s because I have something set wrong.. any ideas?
Thanks!

Anyone got any suggestions on this? I’m having that issue right now, trying to export a simple piece of keyed footage that’s about 40 seconds long. Get the error that AE crashed while invoking Keylight 1.2 plugin.
Lame. Totally lame.
Any suggestions?
I’m using QT Reference footage from AVID, but I don’t think that’s causing the issue. Please help!

THANKS for the help guys!
What I wound up doing, and learning, was that in Photoshop you can add an alpha channel, and with a white area, cut a “hole” in it that transfers easily to AVID.
I got the effect I needed, and the boss is happy. Thanks for all of your innovative suggestions. I have them all printed out, and will try them each to see if a faster method is available.
But for now, PS CS3 did a great job of creating the masks for me, and I learned a lot about alpha channel in the process!
Love me some Creative COW!!
