Limitations and Known Issues

➤ When you export pan automation on an audio clip as AAF, it does not translate in Pro Tools.
Pro Tools does not accept varying value pan controls during import.
➤ In the Export Settings dialog box, the default size is not the image size of the opened project.
➤ When you play an exported clip in the Windows Media Player, the sequence stalls in the
desktop monitor. The audio plays, the blue bar progresses in the Timeline, and the video and
audio output to the client monitor is OK. If the clip that is loaded in Windows Media Player
is removed, then the Play operation plays properly in both the desktop and client monitors.
➤ Exporting Locators exports only a .txt file with frame count information, not timecode or
Feet and Frames. Import also supports only frame count.
➤ (Encoding to Windows Media) A “Not enough memory is available to complete this
operation or WM_BeginWriting_FAILED” error results from the application running out of
available memory (RAM) while you perform the encode. Encoding to a Windows Media
Video codec requires a lot of memory. The amount of memory required is directly related to
the number of audio and video profile streams, width, height, bit rate, number of passes,
VBR/CBR, and quality of the encoded video, as well as the resolution of the source media.
If you encode HD media, you might need to reduce the bit rate, turn on 2-pass encoding, turn
on VBR, lower the quality, or reduce the frame dimension.
➤ A “WM_FindInputFormat_FAILED” error might appear if the Windows Media exporter
cannot find a suitable input format for a video or audio stream contained in the current
Windows Media Export setting's stream profile. For example, using non-standard frame
dimensions might result in this error. See the Microsoft Windows Media web site for more
detail.

➤ Workspace names that contain non-ASCII characters can cause poor performance when
working in a bin.
Workaround: Use only ASCII characters in workspace names.
➤ If you capture a clip from a workspace with a French name through CaptureManager
™
, in
the Avid editing application the bin heading Drive might be empty where it should list the
French name of the workspace.
➤ If you change the font or font size of your input, and see characters rotated 90 degrees, make
sure you select the correct font. Do not use any font that begins with the “@” symbol.
