We need more information. Are you conforming frame rates? Did you offline, and you’re now trying to conform to an online format? Conform can refer to a few different things.
Since you mentioned Cinema Tools, I’m assuming you have something shot at 29.97 that you want to conform to 23.976 which is a common thing done in Cinema Tools. There is a console command that will help. Go to the Console and type “ignoreqtrate true”. When you import your 29.97 footage in your 23.976 project, it will play out at 23.976 making it look slow.

Just for the sake of asking, was this logo created at full res 1920×1080 and then shrunk down using the matte key controls in the Avid? I’ve also seen borders like that appear when do that and especially when trying to move titles this way as opposed to redoing them in the title tool.

You can select the tracks you want to modify, draw an in to out point on it, then open the audio mixer. In the audio mixer’s fast menu select “Adjust pan/Vols On Track – In/Out”. Working this way, you can only increase or decrease by 6 decibels at at time, but you can do it multiple times if necessary.

I ran into those problem a lot. Not particularly with the RED One, but very frequently with the Red Epic. My solution was to transcode using Red Cine X Pro. In my export setting, under options, enable REDLine (Software only) and Frame Mode only. This will render one frame at a time and increase your render time significantly. I exported as DPX sequences, and I exported audio in a separate pass. The audio didn’t always come through, but by exporting using RedLine, it renders one frame at a time and will work with corrupted frame. Granted, they’ll render as black frames or with significant digital distortion, but you’ll get your shots.
Then once those DPX sequences were exported, I used AJA’s DPX to Quicktime translator to make quicktime files and I imported those into the Avid. I exported an ALE to sync meta data, and imported the audio separately and autosynced them together. It’s rough, but it should work for those corrupt R3D files.

Big thing is MC6 is not supported on 10.6.8. I’ve heard of plenty of people running it on 10.6.8, but you could potentially run into trouble.
For system requirements, check out the Avid compatibility matrix.

Never sir! I found it a fairly strange way of having to deactivate it as well. I just wished I waited a while long to upgrade to Symphony which comes with BCC, as opposed to upgrading both Media Composer and BCC separately (which probably ends up costing the same). C’est La Vie!

Go to a clip with a BCC effect on your tower and go into effects mode. I just tested it with BCC Alpha Spotlight. Up top there’s a grey box called “Registration Info” Click on that and you can deactivate there. A little roundabout, but it’ll do the trick.

What apps can be used to map keyboard functions? I’ve been thinking it would be great, if there was an app which was essentially a large fast menu of mappable buttons on your iPad. If that exists, I’d love to know about it.

All those same Avid products will remain in major broadcasting studios. The flagship lines, Media Composer and Symphony along with the DX Hardware and Pro Tool and it’s appropriate hardware are still Avid products.
The M-Audio lines were their more affordable lines (granted, call M-Audio consumer or prosumer if you wish, they were fantastic products). Granted, their marketing would imply they want to focus on the pro market, which I believe is true, but layoffs obviously are indicative of hard times. Granted, Final Cut is less of competition these days but the new Smoke will offer significant competition to Avid.

It definitely has to do with your space available / space required. You mentioned you ripped a DVD, so your Pro Res file is clearly standard definition, but you mentioned transcoding to 720p HDV. Have you tried changing your Project Format from 720 to NTSC? That way, you’ll be transcoding to standard def which will also take up less space.
Also keep in mind, if all you have left is 40 gigs on your drive and you want to transcode a file that you anticipate taking up 30 or so gigs, your hard drive will get very full and you might see a performance hit. In general, you want to always keep your hard drives about 20% empty for best performance. You can push it to 10, but any less than that and you risk both performance, and potential file corruption.
