Workaround: Close and reopen the bin where the AMA clips are stored. The bin headings
should all appear in the Bin Column Selection dialog box
.
➤ Keep the target audio sample rate the same as the native audio sample rate when you
consolidate or transcode a clip using AMA. If you choose to convert the audio sample rate,
the system does not calculate the needed space requirement and the consolidate fails. You
can however choose to convert the audio sample bit depth or convert the audio format for a
successful consolidate to occur.
➤ The Avid editing system might be slow to respond while mounting multiple workspaces,
while in the application, in AMA (Avid Media Access).
Workaround: Mount the multiple workspaces prior to opening the Avid editing
application, and then work in AMA.
➤ (Macintosh only) Offline clips appear selected (highlighted yellow) even after you eject a
write-protected XDCAM EX (SxS) card.
Workaround: Do not write-protect the card and do not eject the card while the application
is running.
➤ Playing back XDCAM DV 25 media from a disc might drop or skip audio frames, this could
be due to the disc needing time to spin back up.
➤ The following folder names: “OMFI MediaFiles,” “Avid MediaFiles,” “Contents,” “Clip,”
and “BPAV” are application or camera generated file names which contain data appropriate
media files. To avoid assertion failure errors when mounting volumes, do not create
additional folders with these file names on your system.
➤ When you link clips through AMA, make sure the bin is in Text, Script or Frame view. The
metadata bin headings will not save in Brief view.
