I'm running Media Composer 5.0 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. It was working until I installed Final Cut 7 on the same system. Then it started crashing when I tried to launch Media Composer. Error message is "Exception: failed to initialize audio hardware," followed by "Segmentation fault...

I discovered a major problem in our 720p shows when splitting stereo music tracks: a sync issue is created in the newly created mono tracks that looks like some kind of drift. By the end of the show (46;30) the now mono (previously stereo) tracks are a full 1.5 seconds late! Ouch. Anyone had this issue...

Is there a fast and easy procedure to remove audio fades in MC 5.0? Now I'm removing one at a time, or two at a time.

I saw no recent threads on this, so I pose a new question for anyone: Since my new install of OS 10.6.5 and MC 5.0.3.7, I have been seeing random very thin horizontal lines that stretch partially across my open bin windows, composer screens or even the background desktop - they are often broken, and...

Since MC5 on PC, CTL-Q just quits without a prompt. Am I wrong or does this suck? I'd prefer the "Are you sure?" prompt. Often I want to close a bin and hit Q instead of W...I mean, yes I do blow it now and again and it's nice to have a little safety catch there. Hope this feature returns...

i will be visiting here often, it seems, as i am switching back to AVID after starting a project in FCP years ago. so here goes it, and your patience with my ignorance is appreciated: when i try to play my quicktimes (some of them DF, some NDF) in a new avid project (set at 30i NTSC because all my footage...

I am looking to purchase MC 5 and the Mojo SDI (Firewire). I want to know if my system will support Avid. I am running a Mac Mini. It meets all the system requirement for a Mac Avid System, though in the PDF of supported systems Mac Mini is not listed on there. Can anyone shed some light on this before...

Recently upgraded from Media Composer 4 to Media Composer 5. Now reaction is lagging. If I click anywhere in the sequence it takes a half second for the playhead to jump to that position. Playback is stuttering in a 23.98 project with only 23.98 material in the sequence. Thought maybe it could have been...
