Hey Terence,

that’s the first question to be asked. And yes, the video capture thing is clicked.

Remember that I can still capture. But the video just doesn’t show up in the viewer or monitor.

This is a real headscratcher.

My problem seems to be fixed. I changed from Windows XP to Windows 7 64 bit on the same machine. Then installed MC 5.5.1 which is working very well with the analog Mojo. I’m beginning to think XP had become corrupted in some way. The move to 7 was long overdue.

Thanks for all the replies.

Paul,

Happy birthday.

I’ve been running Avid Express Pro and then Media Composer 2.x through 5.1 on a Dell Precision 670 since 2006. The machine has 4gb memory and dual pentium 3ghz processors. The machine and Avid MC get along quite well.

December 17, 2010 at 7:15 pm in reply to: Avid Media Composer 5 issue with format

I moved from Discreet Edit* to Media Composer 4 years ago. Biggest difficulty was adjusting to Avid’s trim functions. Edit* wasn’t as capable as MC, but the learning curve was quite shallow and trims were very easy.

Biggest danger I’ve found is using the “undo” function without realizing when you’re making a change way at the other end of the sequence. That has resulted in some surprises later in the day or week or month or when the client calls and asks what’s happening.

And oh yes, I swing between MC and Vegas. The two programs are so dissimilar that there is no confusion at all.

When transcoding files (recorded with AJA KiPro), does time code remain unchanged?

I’ve tried the ultimate workaround- doing the same task with Vegas Pro 9. No problems.

Have we found a bug here? Anyone in Madison taking note?

Control-shift-F will do it for you.

To move to next or last edit WITHOUT entering trim mode, map “rewind” and “fast forward” to the keys you want to use.

August 3, 2010 at 3:23 pm in reply to: Media Composer Five user guide

Joe,

I haven’t installed yet; waiting to finish two projects. I can’t find it in any of the downloaded folders. In the past the user guide could be downloaded from some spot on the huge Avid site. I thought I’d give it a scan before I get to install.

Next step is to install and see what I find.

Thanks.

phil

Make sure your MOJO is not connected to the same firewire channel as the capture machine.

Also, I’ve had the flamethrower thing. It turned out my sync generator was getting flaky. If you’re using external sync, try disconnecting.
