We have an editor new to Avid and he can cuase the Avid to throw all sorts of strange errors. He is beginning to think he has the touch of doom with Avid and wants to stay in his happy place... Premiere!
Here's one that I would call a bug... He is doing some sound mixing so:
*Put the timeline into red segment mode, unlinked clips and select the audio clip you want to adjust the sound on. Yes, I know, and now he knows, you don't need to do this to adjust the clip level - just park the play head..
*The clip turns purple so you know it is selected.
*Open the audio mixed and adjust the slider/level
*Do this 3 or 4 times with different clips
*Then you get and exception error and Avid hangs forcing you to use the application manager to force close Avid.
The connection with my earlier audio bug of adjusting levels before, after 3 or 4 clips, it would stop reflecting the changes you were making is there. This crash happens after about the same time - only this is terminal, Avid hangs completely. So is there something slightly screwy with Audio in this round of avid updates? Making sure we are not in segment mode 100% fixes this. Had it happen on 2 different projects, one old, one new.
