Avid|DS 5.0 Release Notes • November 2001 5
Must Click Layer Icon to Select Layer
To select a layer, you must click the layer icon in the 3D DVE Layers view. Clicking on the layer name will appear to
select the layer, but the previously selected layer will remain active. This may cause confusion when working with layers.
Animation
Copy/Paste of Function Curves Fails
There are two scenarios in which copying and pasting function curves fails:
§ If you are using the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V keyboard shortcuts while editing a 3D DVE or shape in the viewer, the
DVE and shape editors “grab all the keys.” To work around this, right-click on the animation graph and use the
Copy and Paste commands.
§ Unnoticed selection of a key when:
− A single key is selected during copy; the key, not the entire function curve, will be copied.
− A single key is selected during paste; the paste will fail.
If you want to copy/paste an entire function curve, make sure that no keys are selected in the source or
destination curves.
Audio
Audio Crossfade Activeness Breaks
Activeness is broken when you move multiple audio crossfades on the timeline that were multi-selected.
The activeness originally set will not be respected.
Tail of Reverb Cut after Clip
If a reverb effect is used as a clip effect, the tail of the reverb will be cut right after the clip. The audio cache file will
not be invalidated if you add an audio effect in an audio container clip.
Lost Caches in Audio Container Clips
If you change the mixer configuration in an audio container clip, you must reprocess the container clip the next time
you load the sequence.
Audio Live Capture Limitation with the Equinox
Break-Out-Box
You must feed a valid video input to the Break-Out-Box in order to perform a live audio capture, otherwise the
audio input is muted.
Compositing and Effects
Mute Background in Composite Node Now Composites with Transparent Black
Switching off the Mute Background setting in any newly created Composite node will now composite with a
transparent black image (RGBA of 0, 0, 0, 0). Old versions of this node, when saved as a preset or sequence tree, will
continue to use opaque black (0, 0, 0, 255) to maintain the previously processed results.
