Error message with Avid Media Composer 6

I have installed a free trial of Avid Media Composer 6. I had it on my computer and it was working fine, but I thought there was an issue so I unistalled it, and then reinstalled it. Now I am getting an error message whenever I attempt to open a project. It reads..."Segmentation fault" in thread "MainThread", at address 0x0 ... and then the Avid Media Composer shuts down. I have read that it is necessary to unistall any existing software first which is exactly what I did. Im using lion on a 2 ghz i7 macbook pro.

You should contact Avid support.

Leopard may not work with Avid Media Composer.

I am about to purchase a new iMac for the purpose of using Avid Media Composer for editing as opposed to Final Cut Pro.
Unfortunately, Avid is not providing any tech support for those who use the new Leopard operating system on their Macs, they are only providing support who still use Tiger 10.4.10. To make matters more complicated, Apple already has Leopard installed on the computers they're selling, whether they're new or refurbished.
Is there any way to get Tiger installed on the computers that already have Leopard installed? Also, are there any Avid users who have had no problem installing them on their Leopard computers?

You can probably install Tiger on a Mac Pro if you buy it today and can locate the media, but it won't be supported.
You're in a bit of a pinch... if you'd asked this question a month ago I'd have told you to buy IMMEDIATELY but it wasn't exactly a secret that Leopard was on the way
Avid will eventually support Leopard but they'll take their time. They might also try to push a Windows box on you.

HT2240 I am trying to export my Avid Media Composer trailer to Quick Time. It is not letting me do so. I have a PC with Windows 7 Pro on it. I am needing to turn the trailer into a QT movie so that my instructor can grade it.

I could use some help is trying to convert my Avid Media Composer Trailer into a QT movie. Everytime I try I get a error message and Avid stops working and the trailer is never exported to QT.

I would suggest you contact Avid for advice.

Equium A100-147 with error message "PXE-E61 Media Test Failure"

Hi all,
I have Equium A100 out of warranty, due to error message "PXE-61 Media Test Failure" I took it to my local computer menders, they told me my Toshiba 60gb hard drive had failed (MG6034GSX) and replaced it with a another 120gb model.
I tried to reload system from Toshiba recovery disc, reload reaches 75% then messages come up saying it can't find loads of operating system files.
Thinking the Recovery disc was faulty I obtained a replacement from Toshiba, and this reload disc gave the same problem.
I have loaded XP Professional on to 120gb HDD and it runs OK but I would like to load original as it came with XP MCE.
Is my problem the 120gb HDD which should be as original 60gb and has the HDD got to be genuine Toshiba to accept the recovery media ?
Does anybody have any ideas, I would really appreciate your help.
Cheers

Hi R2D2
Thank you for your help. I tried the default bios settings and reformatting the HDD and an OS reinstall with the same outcome.
As you said it could be a HDD problem I returned it to the people who fitted the replacement HDD, they diagnosed a faulty HDD, replaced it under warranty and installed the OS for me. I guess the answer to "does the replacement HDD have to be genuine Toshiba" is no, in my case it doesn't.
Machine is now working fine. Thank you for your help, it's really appreciated and once again I think this is a great forum.
Cheers

How do you burn videos taken with myIphone and stored on my computer to a DVD disc. I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"? I alos tried using Real Players file converter with no success!

How do you burn videos taken with my Iphone 4S and stored on my computer to a DVD disc. I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"? I also tried using Real Players file converter with no success! Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Probably the OP is no longer paying attention to this unless the OP is subscribed to this discussion. While not really an iPhone question I guess using an iPhone to produce the movie which then needs taking to the next step makes this as good a starting place as any unless you happen to know enough about what to do to determine in which forum to post. A suggestion in that direction would help.
Anyway, Apple is backing off from supporting optical media. It also depends upon what you mean by "DVD". A DVD is just an optical disc which can support different file formats, but many people think it means a movie disc you can put in your TV. Producing a movie disc requires special iDVD authoring software Apple used to sell but stopped several years ago. I don't know if the old versions work under newer systems. There's also the free Burn application which authors DVDs but takes a bit of learning and has nowhere near the features of iDVD.
If the OP means simply burning the transferred movie files to a DVD for archiving in computer format you don't need special software for that; its built into the operating system File > New Burn folder etc.

Avid Media Composer exchange with Adobe Premiere Pro

As many of you know, the features to exchange data between Premiere Pro and Avid Media Composer have some limitations.
The chapter from An Editor's Guide to Adobe Premiere Pro is the best resource that I've seen on this topic. (I may be biased on that matter.) I asked Peachpit Press to make this chapter available as a free download. It's linked to from this post.
I hope that this helps, if only to make it clear where the boundaries are.

Thanks Todd. I've experienced these limitations lately so I appreciate your post. I would urge Adobe to strengthen this compatibility.

FCP 7 (FCS 3) and AVID media Composer 6 together?

Is anyone using FCP 7 (Final Cut Studio 3 and all related software) and AVID media Composer 6 together on the same operating system?
If so which one are you using - Snow Leopard or Lion and are there any Issues with either?
Cheers

I bought MC 5.5 last summer, and upgraded to 6 when it came out. I have FCP 7 and family installed on the same system as well as CS5. All work great. I have this setup on a 2011 13" MBP running Lion. It works great. I like having all three on the same system, it really gives me a lot of flexibility. And I also have the same setup on a 2010 iMac 27, only this one has Snow Leopard and MC 5.5. I'm getting ready to switch it to MC 6, and take the MBP back to Snow Leopard though, it's just been sluggish since the upgrade. Other than that, I've had no problems with FCP and Avid living in the same house, if fact it's just been plain handy.

Creating an AAF file to move a PP CC 2014 project to Avid Media Composer 8.2.0

Hi Fellow Premiere Pro users.
I have a client who doesn't want to make the switch from Avid to Premiere Pro. He's had little luck transferring the project with AAF files, mostly because batch importing within Avid to relink the media can take hours.
Has anyone had experience moving a project from CC 2014 to Avid Media Composer?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Zhaohan,
I had the same problem, but I think I managed to find a solution, which I wrote up in this thread named "URGENT HELP MEDIA COMPOSER WON'T OPEN!"
Hope this helps.

Can't speak about avid, since I am not familiar with the software.
You can certainly use FCP X on that machine. It should work better if you use a fast external drive for your media and projects.
There is a free trial, so try it out and see how it goes. You should also follow some good video tutorials, if you are not familiar with the application. FCP X is a lot different from Avid, Premiere or even Final Cut Pro 7.

Export PAL movie to Avid Media Composer

Hi
I have a PAL widescreen composition which I want to render into a file to use in an Avid Media Composer (DV25) project.
I would normally just use the "DV settings" export option in AEX this results in juddering fields when I play the file back in Avid. I have tried changing the rendering field order and that doesn't seem to do the trick.
Can anyone suggest the correct way of exporting these files from AEX?
thanks

Hi
I never got round this problem, it was taking all day to test various settings so I just played it back out to tape via Premiere and then captured the footage in Avid. Clearly this is not the best long term option!
I'm a PC user. The footage is a DV lower field first interview keyed against a still image. I can export it to Adobe Premiere as an avi file with no problems at all.
I have tried exporting using the Avid codec (.mov files), my usual DV codec (.avi file). I can tell these are not the correct settings because in the avid source window, the file is slightly horizontally squashed (I see black for maybe 30 pixels on the left and right side, and the picture information is squashed into the remaining space). The field movement is not smooth on playback.
The only export setting I've tried which does not give me this problem is OMF. When I export to OMF using its DV option, and import the resulting file into Avid, the image appears to be the correct size and plays without any interlacing problems. However, there are two problems doing this - (1) there appears to be no option to export audio with an OMF file, and (2) Avid tells me that the file is the wrong resolution (DV411 not DV420). The file then exhibits some weird colour artefacts.
Any more suggestions?
thks a lot

I replaced the hard drive to a 30gig on my Ipod 4th gen. click wheel but it is still not recognized on my computer or in itunes......I get an error message with a folder and "!"....what can I do to fix??

Have you recharge the battery for at least 2 hours, or just leave it connected for 4 hours?
(When you replaced the Hardisk, you should also replace the battery.)
Some other iPod SSD sites, says that you may have to format the CF in FAT32, as Mac dont read NTFS drive so if Windows is the 1st PC that your CF is connected, it may be formatted to NTFS.
You can try erasing the CF using Disk Utilty, so that Mac can recognise it. (but not Windows)
Have a nice day!

Error message with offer to download the 4.1.B.0.587 update and note: "installation not possible" (because it's already there) cannot partition SD card

Hi - Recently I put the latest update on my LT15i (4.1.B.0.587), after this I rooted the phone, and everything seemed okay. But since then I keep getting an error message with an offer to download the 4.1.B.0.587 update and the note: "installation not possible" (because it's already there). The news line on top shows a red exclamation mark all the time. It seems to me that it is due to this error that I cannot partition my SD card. Does anybody have an idea how to fix that? Thanks much in advance, and happy holidays - nerissa

My mac book pro does not start but has error message with a question mark on screen. took it in and was told probably the hard drive as could not reconize it so bought new one but still not connecting.what do i do

My mac book pro does not connect but shows an error message with a question mark on the screen.I took it to a retailer that said it was not reconizing the hard drive.He said i needed a new hard drive but it may be something else as well but he was sure a new hard drive would fix it.So putting faith in someone who deals with them i purchased a new hard drive to find it was still not working although he said the computer did know reconize the hard drive and i may have to send it away to get it checked .After already paying 120 pounds for a new hard drive and they wanting another 80.00 pounds to diagnose it i am a little sceptical.
That's why i am interested on anyone's help.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I think that your Mac detects your hard disk, but the problem is that your new hard disk doesn't contain any operating system, so your Mac doesn't find any bootable partition and you see a question mark.
If your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Then, just install Mac OS X. If the hard disk isn't prepared to install Mac OS X, you will have to erase it using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html

Displaying an error message with a link to the error field

By default, ADF validation usually displays an alert with an error message and a link to the error field.
I have some custom validations where I finally display the error message with this:
public static void MessageError(String messageText){
    //String messageText="No se han encontrado estos datos";
    FacesMessage fm = new FacesMessage(messageText);
     * set the type of the message.
     * Valid types: error, fatal,info,warning
    fm.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    context.addMessage(null, fm);
My customer is asking for displaying a link to the error field in this kind of error alerts as standard errors do.
Is there any way to get this ?
