➤ Bug Number: UDevC00117308. You might experience dropped frames when playing back
XDCAM media with effects. When playing back media, a number of variables affect play
performance; such as your CPU power, GPU power, sequence complexity and the raster
settings. Depending on the complexity of your sequence, you might need to render some
effects if you want to preview them in real time and at full quality, or before you can output
a finished sequence.
➤ Bug Number: UDevC00116558. When you batch import XDCAM clips from a virtual
volume, the system re-imports the proxy media into your bin. If you batch import XDCAM
clips directly from the XDCAM disk, this works as intended. If you do not have access to the
XDCAM disk, Avid recommends that you import the hi-res XDCAM media when you
import from a virtual volume and then edit your sequence.
➤ Bug Number: . When you import XDCAM files, be aware that Avid does not support the
batch import workflow when you are working in the following Sony XDCAM camera
modes: Picture Cache Record Mode, Interval Record Mode, or VFR (Variable Frame Rate)
Mode (UCC/OCC - Undercrank/Overcrank). An error message appears which informs you
that the video is not supported. However, the High-Rez versions of these clips can be
imported. Their timecode values, however, will be inaccurate. The Avid editor appends its
own generic timecode to clips recorded in any of the previously mentioned modes.
➤ Bug Number: UdevC00164589. XDCAM proxy media will not export to a QuickTime
reference movie. This is a limitation for all long-GOP media types.
If you export as a regular QuickTime movie, MPEG 4, or as Windows Media 9, the export is
successful. Or, you can transcode the proxy sequence to DV 25 or MPEG-IMX and then
export as QuickTime reference.
Workaround: Import the whole XDCAM HD clip and then transcode it.
➤ Bug Number: UdevC00078552. The Avid editing applications refer to XDCAM HD 25
Mbits media files as HDV 1080i 50/60. These Dynamic Relink settings are only available in
project types 1080i/59.94 HDV or 1080i/50 HDV.
Extending Your Usable Address Space and Adding
RAM for Improved Performance (Windows)
The Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista 32-bit operating systems limit every
program to 2 gigabytes (GB) of address space. It reserves the remaining 2 gigabytes of
address space for its own use. The operating system includes a boot-time mechanism that
