Limitations

➤ Bug Number: . If you are using a removable drive or reader as a DMF watch folder, make sure

that “Automatically AMA-link to volumes” is deselected in the AMA Settings.

➤ Bug Number: . The following media types are not currently supported with Dynamic Media

Folders in Media Composer:

• Uncompressed 8bit and 10b QuickTime files

• QuickTime files that include an alpha channel

• Sony XDCAM-EX

Effects

➤ Bug Number: . AVX 1 effects are no longer supported and will not be recognized in this latest

version of Media Composer. Please contact the respective 3rd-party plug-in vendor for an AVX2

64-bit version of any existing plug-in that you might have purchased. The following Avid AVX1

effects will automatically be promoted to AVX2:

• Avid Pan & Zoom

• Region Stabilize

•RGB Keyer

When you load a previously-generated sequence containing one of these effects, they will

automatically be promoted to new corresponding AVX2 effects. These effects will not be

recognized by earlier versions of Media Composer.

➤ Modifying Pan Values in the Timeline: You can display different pan values in the Timeline for

different audio tracks by clicking the Clip Gain/Pan button in the Track Control panel and

selecting one of the pan value options. However, if you want to manipulate pan control points

(either adding a keyframe or adjusting a keyframe), you must make sure all audio tracks display

the same pan values. To do this, Alt+click the Clip Gain/Pan button in the Track Control panel

for any audio track and select a pan value option.

Interplay

➤ Bug Number: . (Interplay) Dynamic relink is not currently supported for media that requires

pulldown. Therefore, you can only use it with clips where the media has been acquired at the

native frame rate (without pulldown).

➤ Bug Number: UDevC00164931. (Avid Interplay and Windows 7) Can't locate Media Indexer

on Avid editor after first install. After an initial installation of the editor and Interplay support

software, the editing application may fail to locate the Media Indexer. This can happen if some of

the Avid Service Framework services have not started correctly.
