Has anybody successfully used the base model 14" Macbook Pro 16GB ram? I know it’s not qualified; I have ordered a Mac Studio Ultra to replace my current Macbook Pro 16" i9 32GB ram as my main machine. I have grown to really dislike my Intel i9 Macbook Pro 16"; its noisy, hot and problematic. I'd like to get a base spec secondary

I used that Profound Effects plugin for years on a PC Adrenaline, but have never been able to get it to work on a Mac with MC 3.5. Has anyone had any luck getting it work recently? Matt

Well it looks like the problem has been solved and strangely it turns out that the media is actually at fault. After much waiting for answers from Avid and none forthcoming (help is a little hard to find from Avid support on this side of the world) fortunately my dealers stepped in and solved it. To put it in context, originally my dailies were supplied

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a replacement pci-e or cable as its from my dealers existing setup - which i'm feeling stupid for not insisting on. I've installed OS10.5.2 on my second internal drive with a clean install of MC3.0 & QT7.4.5 with no luck there either. Thanks, Matt

Thanks Todd and Blackdog, my Avid dealer has given me a temporary replacement bob which I swapped over to and the problem still persists. I've downgraded the version of Quicktime to the approved 7.4.5 and the next step is to downgrade the OS 10.5.3, does anyone no an easier way to rollback this back? Also I'm hoping you guys can pass this thread

Thanks again Todd, I disconnected the DX and ran MC as soft and the problem went away. After re-seating the pci and reconnecting cables MC with DX has the numerous errors again so the problem is definitely somehow related to the bob. The errors have something to do with the hagrid board in the bob which must be the onboard effects processing unit. So

Hi further to my earlier problems I can't render timewarps or create motion effects as I get the same error. I'm midway through cutting a film with massive ramifications if I don't get this sorted quickly. Any more insight would be a really big help, Matt

Thanks for the info Todd. I have my pci-e for the drive in Slot 3 as per config specs from the manufacturer, G-Tech. I did just try and swap to slot 2 with no change in Avid or performance difference so i'd say the card is capped at 4x, hence slot 3. So everything appears to be normal config wise. I'm running the qualfied nvidia 8800GT as well

Ok so I did the loopback tests and i'm getting 'failure signal not locked' on a few but I assume this is because I'm not running any reference into the bob. I assume this is fine as I'm purely editing at the moment and not digitizing or outputing on this machine so that would negate the need for reference? See attached. Thanks, Matt
