  • Hey Bonet,

    It’s possible that this is a bug in the latest version of After Effects, or it could be a change that Adobe made intentionally. One thing you could try is resetting your preferences to see if that resolves the issue. You can do this by going to the “Preferences” menu and selecting “General” > “Reset Preferences on Quit.”

    Hey Smith,

    One thing to keep in mind is that anamorphic footage is squeezed horizontally to fit the same aspect ratio as standard footage. When you use FrameFlex to unsqueeze the footage, it will stretch it back out to its correct aspect ratio. However, this can result in pillarboxing on the sides if your sequence is not set up properly.


    To eliminate the black bars on the sides, you may need to adjust the settings of your sequence to match the correct aspect ratio of the unsqueezed footage. This will likely involve adjusting the aspect ratio settings in your project settings or creating a custom sequence with the correct settings. You may also want to double-check that your FrameFlex settings are correct and not adding any additional pillarboxing.

    April 27, 2023 at 10:00 am in reply to: AVID BATCH IMPORT FILE LOCATION PROBLEMS

    Hey andrea

    One possible solution is to make sure that all the clips in the bin have the same file path or location. If they do, you can select all the clips in the bin and use the batch import function to import them all at once. However, if the clips have different file paths or locations, you may need to locate each clip individually. Double-check that the file paths or locations are consistent across all the clips in the bin to make the batch import process more efficient.

    Hey cob Carlson,

    The beneath paragraph is may too long but it’s very informative please read carefully till the end.

    Losing access to your primary hard drive containing your project data can be a frustrating and stressful experience, but there are a few things you can try to recover your data and restore your project.

    Firstly, it’s important to understand that physical damage to a hard drive can cause irreversible data loss, and attempting to recover the data yourself could potentially make the situation worse. Therefore, if the data on your primary hard drive is critical, it’s recommended that you seek the services of a professional data recovery company.

    Assuming you have a backup of your project, the easiest solution would be to restore the backup to a new hard drive and continue working from there. If your backup is not up-to-date or you prefer to try and salvage the data on the damaged hard drive, you can try using data recovery software to extract the data from the damaged drive.

    Once you have access to your project data, you can try relinking your sequence and individual clips in Avid Media Composer. You can do this by selecting the offline clips in your bin, right-clicking and selecting “relink,” and then navigating to the new location of the media files.

    If you are still having issues relinking your sequence and individual clips, it’s possible that some of the media files may be corrupt or missing. In this case, you may need to manually relink the missing or offline media files by locating them on your backup drive and manually linking them in Avid Media Composer.

    Remember to always back up your project data regularly to avoid such situations in the future.

  • Hey Rogan

    You will need to choose an output format that includes the duration column. Some common output formats that include a duration column are CMX 3600, GVG 100, and File/EDL. Be sure to check the settings for the output format you choose to make sure that the duration column is included.

    Hey chip Hess,

    One possible reason why the shape you drew on V2 is not visible to the tracker could be due to a layering issue.

    If V1 is on top of V2, it may be covering up the shape you drew. To fix this, try moving V2 above V1 in the layer order.

    April 27, 2023 at 9:31 am in reply to: Undoing Cursor Moves

    Hey, frank grow

    It is possible that the behavior you are experiencing when using the “undo” is a result of a software update or a change in the program’s default settings. However, it’s also possible that the issue could be related to your keyboard or computer setup. If you’re experiencing this issue consistently and have ruled out any potential hardware issues, you may want to try adjusting your Avid settings to see if this improves the behavior of the “undo” command. You could also try reaching out to Avid support for assistance in troubleshooting the issue.

    April 27, 2023 at 9:23 am in reply to: Adjust text leading in Avid Titler +?

    Yes jessica,

    there is a way to adjust the leading (the space between multiple lines of text) using the new title tool in some video editing software. However, the specific method to adjust the leading may vary depending on the software you are using. Generally, you should be able to find the leading option in the text properties section of the title tool. Look for options such as “Line Spacing,” “Leading,” or “Line Height.” Once you have located the option, you should be able to adjust the value to increase or decrease the spacing between lines of text.

    April 27, 2023 at 9:16 am in reply to: Mac Studio Base Model Compatible w MC?

    Hey ambrose

    The Mac Studio base model with the M1 Max chip and 32 GB of unified memory should be capable of running Avid Media Composer smoothly for normal scripted offline editing. The M1 Max chip has impressive processing power and the 24-core GPU should provide excellent graphics performance. However, it’s worth noting that Avid Media Composer has not yet been optimized for the M1 chip, so performance may not be as fast as on an Intel-based Mac or a Windows PC.

    In terms of future compatibility with Avid software, it’s difficult to say for sure how well the Mac Studio base model will age. However, Apple has been making a push towards using its own custom silicon, like the M1 and M1 Max chips, and Avid has stated that it is working on optimizing its software for these chips. As such, it’s possible that the Mac Studio base model could work well with future versions of Avid Media Composer, but it’s always wise to check for compatibility before upgrading your software or hardware.

    Best regards

    Hey taylor,

    No, all are correct. Follow this to export yours in 4K.

    When you’re ready to export, go to File > Output > Export to File. Under the “Format” tab, select the 4K resolution you want to export to, such as UHD or DCI 4K. Under the “Codec” tab, choose a high-quality codec like DNxHR HQX or ProRes 4444. Adjust the other export settings as needed and click “Export.”

    Best regards

    Shahan
