My clients are not very comfortable with this version of Avid Media Composer, to them the only thing that matters is to edit smoothly.Thanks Avid.

• shooting for this week so cross your fingers and toes.

marianna

Yeah right. 

Hopefully Monday or Tuesday.  We have a build that is being tested over the weekend and if all goes well should have something the beginning of the week.

Marianna

Agreed........ I am hoping early January.

I´m paying to be *** over and over. And some poeple seems surprised that i´m a bit upset...

I´m not doing this for fun. This is how I Make My living. Companies (People) pay me, buy me flight ticket and (hopefully) a nice hotel to go to other countries to work for them and deliver something worth their money. Do they expect me to say "Sorry, I have this underrun prob again and again"?

Sometimes it works for 2 minutes, sometimes for 2 ff. I can't work like this. 

I'm in Switzerland right now working on a commercial for Omega 2012 olympic campain. And I have to work on my old FCP. Because it works! They ask me here why I'm not on Avid since they see I have it installed, and I mumble sumething about "this project works better with fcp". embarrasing. For me. And for Avid.

And I bet Marianna and you others avid folks out there are terrific people and I'd love to wine and dine you at any time. But false hope is no good to me or anyone.

All best to you all, H

  i think your taking it a bit far buddy. If your as experienced as you say you are then youd know not to rely on .0 software releases for profressional work. The patch is coming. what more do you want ? 

MC6.0.0 has been working perfectly fine for me professionally. It was a little buggy at first, but then I remembered I was on a slightly older MacPro which simply needed to be booted-up in 64-bit mode, not 32.  Once I did that, not a single crash, error, or issue. Same thing goes for a couple other Mac-based editors I know in town.  One's on an iMac and the other a MacBook Pro.  Once they booted in 64-bit mode, everything was fine.

To do so, I used http://www.ahatfullofsky.comuv.com/English/Programs/SMS/SMS.html 

I was all ready to be angry at first, then I remembered I was the dummy for not doing a thorough investigation of my own system. Perhaps more folks should adopt the same even-keel approach.

Robert et al........

The Good News............      I have the 6.0.1 update for MC and Symphony in my hot little hands now and the moderators are testing the download this weekend to ensure they download and open - both editing app's and both platforms.  I have asked that they report back by Monday 2/6 by noon with the hopes that if all goes well we can launch Monday afternoon say 3-4 PM ET. 

The bad news is that 10.0.1 is still being worked and I wont have news on that score until Monday but it still will need to go through tetsing so I am not expecting you will see that for a bit.

Sorry you feel this way....... normally I wouldnt say anything aobut the patch and probably shoudlnt have this time since we fund 2 show stopping bugs last week after we have released it to test.  Then you would be just Hanging without any news.

I have received the 6.0.1 MC and Sym updates - the moderators have it now in test and I expect it will be ready Monday after 3.

Lesson learned on my end........ zipper my lip.

marianna

Hopefully a final thought on this. I ran MC6 on Mac OS 10.6.8 for several weeks and never saw that audio error once - althogether very stable. Tonight I upgraded a partition to 10.7.2 and . . . bang - error pops up on the first two clips I played (and many others, mostly AMA clips). I await the update with interest.

Marianna,

I for one am grateful for the information.  At least we know the company is doing something.  Better late than never.

Avid seems to have changed:  I believe they now are more focussed on the customer and the customer experience than they were in the past.  I notice less secrecy and more helpful advice from the company itsself through the forums, user groups and webinars, etc. 

To be honest, I post here more often now than on independent boards because I know I won't feel like an idiot by someone with a superiority complex who happens to have more technical information about a topic than i do.  (I lean towards more creative , less technical).

Bugs have been around since the beginning of the computer.  There will always be bugs.  You can choose to handle your approach differently, esp with .0.0 releases etc...

Last:  My gripe about the internet (because isn't the internet a place to go to a forum and gripe about something?) is that anonymous people will go and complain about anything and everything.  Good news is underappreciated (and often not readily available) on the internet, and frankly I appreciate it.

Thanks for your hard work Marianna on keeping us up to date.

Rick

Well said. I've tested the update and I'm looking forward to the public release. 

I can't wait!!!

No good deed goes unpunished!  That said, thank you for the information.  We can all look at the readme and see if the 2 bugs you mentioned are too big for our situations.  Then we can decide if we need to wait a little longer for those of us who went back to 5.5x.  But at least Avid is actively working on solutions.

Can anyone please tell me how to increase the audio buffer size?  I don't even have the option in my MC6 Audio Settings dialogue.  The bottom right hand box is blank!  I don't have any Avid h/w attached - but I do have  BMD Declink card for IO and monitoring.

Thanks

The only bug that I've found so far that has caused me quite a bit of grief is when longish exports stall near the end showing a dialog box telling me that MC is creating "fast start".  Here's fingers crossed that was addressed.

any news on the patch?
