Limitations and Known Issues
29
➤ Due to an issue with the RICOH FireWire controller on the Dell M65 and M90 laptops,
when playing out to the host in 1394 mode, as well as a DV device via the “Output to DV
Device” option, video and audio may drift out of sync.
Workaround: Turn off “Output to DV Device.” Or, if you have to use the DV Device for
monitoring, connect the speakers or headphones to the DV device/camera instead of the PC.
➤ Editing keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl+X and Ctrl+C do not work in MetaSync Manager.
Use the menu commands.
Digital Cut
➤ When performing a digital cut, you will receive the message “If you have a genlock signal
connected to your BOB, please switch it to match the output rate. Use an appropriate black
burst sync source. Then wait for the REF light on the BOB to turn green and press
Continue.” If the light turns green, press Continue and the digital cut will be performed. If
not, make sure an appropriate sync source is connected and wait for the REF light to turn
green.
➤ (Avid Nitris DX/Avid Mojo DX) Currently the blue bar in the Timeline might not reach the
end of the sequence at the end of a digital cut. All frames are actually cut to tape.
➤ A “Media Offline in Composition” error might occur with a Digital Cut even when all
media is online. Select Continue to perform the Digital Cut.
➤ (Macintosh) When performing a 720p/59.94 digital cut, the first frame of the sequence
might be missing.
Workaround: Add half a second of black before the sequence.
➤ The first 35 frames of a sequence might be missing when you perform a digital cut after
selecting Crash Record and Ignore Time in the Digital Cut tool.
Workaround: Add filler to the beginning of the sequence.
➤ When performing an HDV digital cut, the last few seconds are not cut to tape.
Workaround: Generate a clip of black and add it to the end of the sequence.
➤ A digital cut of an HD project might drop the last frames of audio.
Workaround: Add 10 frames of audio to the end of the sequence.
