Happens in both 8.9 and 8.9.1 & Mac OS 10.11.6

Source Browser sees the drives, sees the clips, I highlight them fine, then hit link, and get the crash/send report to Avid screen, then Avid closes. Happens with every type of clip. I had Paragon NTFS installed. Uninstalled it. No difference. I had MediaReactor installed, uninstalled it. No difference. Trashed the Source Browser cache as suggested elsewhere. No difference. I can link fine from another machine running same OS and 8.7 and import the bin and transcode ok from that. Already have thousands of successfully AMA-linked & transcoded clips in the job, done back in 8.6

Thank you for any ideas or help.

I am having the exact same issue. The technician I worked with told me my operating system/system specifications aren't enough for the latest version of media composer (8.9.1). I bought a new computer with exactly the specicifications required because I urgently need to have my media composer working again. Now on the new computer - just like on my other (older) model - I am having the exact same problem. Everytime I open MC 8.9.1 and attempt to link my MXF files - before I am even able to open the Clips folder with my MXF files - the program crashes. I even installed the nablet plugins for Sony Raw AMA & XDCAM AMA. I cant imagine what the issue is. I'm going to need to return my new computer.

Hi,

I have the same problem. Any solution?

/Masse

My system: Mac Os 10.12.6, Avid MC 8.9.1 - Imac 5k, AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4096 MB, 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 4 GHz Intel Core i7,

Is there a fix for this yet?

Having the same Problem here. Even after updating to newest Patch (8.9.3). Trashed AMA Management / Image Cache and Souce Browswe Cache. Problem still persists.

OS: OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 (14F1713) / Mac Pro 

What I know is.....

The nablet plugin does not yet support XAVC-S.    If you link XAVC-S you will need the Avid Generic Plug-In or Media Reactor to get that to work.

what are you trying to use and what format marcel...

Thanks for replying!

The Problem is: The Source Browser won't even open. It immediately crashes Avid withe the "Ball of death". Happens in all Projects with different Media Types associated to it. I even can't genereate new user settings, because the Source Browser will open and crash Avid. 

But i think the problem appeard as i start working in a project with AVC Long GOP 50 (HD1080p) media. First with a problem where the import dialog gave me the error "No Media Drive availbe" which then was solved by trashing the Ama/Image caches.

Avid 8.7.2. Working with Canon C300 footage that was successfully AMA'd 2 years ago, and the media is still linked up. I open up the Source Browser and within 10 seconds I get the spinning ball o' death. This is NOT a plug-in or OS issue as I've successfully worked on this project with this same footage in many iterations before this. What is the latest info on this problem?

Just a reminder, you can option drag files from the finder/explorer to AMA link them without using the browser.

maybe a work around til there is a fix.
