May 20, 2020 at 7:33 am in reply to: New Mac Pro – can I add additional memory to stock 32GB or swap it all out?

I think the Ram has to be in pairs. If the stock is 32GB then it must be 2x16GB
Normally the Ram should match so your 33GB modules won’t match the 16GB modules.
But I presume the Apple documentation will clarify.

May 18, 2020 at 7:22 am in reply to: Relinking the entire project

The process isn’t relining as that’s intended for Avid media (which would have transfered across with less issues)

To link back AMA content.
Make a new bin or bins.
And link again from the source files into that bin or bins.
As you do the original clips and the sequence will come on line.
Hide those new bins away when done.

Probably. Looking at ram usage will tell. But yes I only suggest 16gb for simple jobs. 32gb normally 64gb or more for higher end.

If opening a Web browser is causing a hang then I can’t see how MC upgrade will help.
Does this happen from a fresh start in the morning? Or does performance deteriorate over the day?
Look at the cpu and ram usage when it’s running well and compare it to when it’s sluggish.

The latest 2019.12 should be OK but I’m not sure you will see much performance improvement.
2020.4 has the new UME for outputting that can do quicker H264 exports as. Movs
But upgrade mid job. Not me.
You would need new user settings for 2020.4
How much ram do you have?
How much media can MC access?
Any of it you can hide?
Tried trashing the AMA databases?

You can’t.
You need the older Adobe version and possibly the older OS to run it.

I think its unlikely. There is a page on the Avid website that list the requirements to qualify https://www.avid.com/academic-eligibility
and I can’t see Linkedin as a qualifying entity.

April 30, 2020 at 6:42 am in reply to: How to deal with digital blanking bars on archive SD content

OK this is complex.

The move from analogue to digital required that none of the analogue image was cropped horizontally.
The actual pixel count is 720×576 for PAL
And of that 704 is active picture. Allowing 16 pixels blanking to be retained. This would vary by a few pixels left and right based on the timing of the original analogue signal.
But that’s 4:3 aspect pixels (or later 26:9 aspect pixels)
To view them correctly in our square pixel world of computers and HD you have to scale horizontal.
So for 4:3 it becomes 768×576 and for 26:9 it becomes 1024×576.
But this includes the original blanking scaled up as well.
To retain aspect you must zoom expanding width and height.
But this will soften the image more.
Remember you have already expanded the width from 720 anyway.
One solution is to crop the black edges using a pip effect and use the active edge of the original zoomed image underneath. It basically repeats the edges slight.
Hope that helps.
