Honestly as an assistant this is 16:32 making me upgrade my perpetual license. What a time saver, I've had so many issues with achieving the same thing via ALE's. The thing on the timeline I just use a macro but I'm sure you do that too.
Hi Jack. Thanks a lot for your new great video. The question is, how do you think , would we get the Tangent to Symphony integration with this opened SDK? It’s long time expected.
That's something avid is currently showing to devs at various events around the world o believe. Though this new SDK is primarily opening up access to the UI. It will be limited in what it will achieve and we won't see the results for a while I think. I wouldn't be expecting any big changes or additions to symphony in the near future unfortunately.
@@theavidassistant thank you for your opinion. If guys from Avid can hear us, I would stress again that Symphony is a very important tool for these days TV post. It’s so difficult to craft it with the mouse. I’m lucky I have Baselight plug-in, so for the grade on the fly I have fantastic toolset, but I wish Avid would take care about the Symphony.
Hi Jack.. Thank you for your help the other day! Could you please make a in-depth tutorial video about how to do masking and cloning, clean plate etc in Avid ? Appreciate everything you are doing for all of us.
Hey, can you elaborate what you mean on "masking and cloning". Specifically the cloning part. I've shown masking in a few videos but could go a bit deeper I suppose.
@@theavidassistant Hi Jack, cloning means the same person interacting with himself.. like twins.. I've seen people doing it in premiere pro but i want to learn how to do it in avid.
@snehithpamarathi7364 Ah right. I generally refer to that as just split screen performance or a composition. I showed a rough version of that in this video here: AE201 - Offline VFX ruclips.net/video/qU06rQAHSfQ/видео.html
Thanks for going over this! I installed the latest version but it wouldn't launch. I kept getting "failed to initialize audio hardware" error. I think it might have something to do with the new desktop audio feature. I ended up having to roll back to the earlier version. I might try it again with a new user.
Did you uninstall the old one first? I find it tends to me more reliable if you use the installer from the download centre (don't update through avid link) and uninstall previous version first using the uninstaller :)
@@theavidassistant Not at first but I did do that the second time and still had the issue. Tried some other stuff as well. Never could get it to install. However, I plan to try it again and this time download the install from the website and not use Avid Link. Thanks for the videos!
Your welcome! I know it's lengthy but every update I'll uninstall then download the new installer from the download centre and install that followed by a full reboot of the machine.
I imagine you'd have to be a part of the software developer program with Avid. I am not a developer but an end user so it's not an area I'd be knowledgeable about I'm afraid. Best reach out to the guys at Avid about that :)
@@theavidassistant Thanks ! I tried few years ago to get the SDK, but it was near impossible for an end user. I get the Adobe Premiere Pro SDK within minutes and was able to develop a plugin... So, I was a bit disapointed by Avid.
I know this is hyper specific but could you do a walk through of using the ScriptSync AI on an already existing .TXT script? I'm playing around with it currently for possible use ScriptSyncing news interview footage to a transcript of the interview i already have, but struggling. It's a very long interview so i figured it'd be better to use the already existing transcript rather than having Avid generate a new one and then have to go in and edit to format it so it's more readable. Not sure if it's just the feature being too new or i'm doing something wrong with the formatting of the script before bringing it into Avid, or maybe my ScriptSync settings (like "ignore text before a colon" and those other parameters).
Hmmm I'm not familiar with it enough to go through it in a video. I do know the transcripts have to be formatted in a specific way before being brought in otherwise it can lead to a host of issues. I do have a video on ScriptSync intro that goes through this a bit and shows using it on a scripted project (should be the same in principle). What problems are you having exactly?
I think it just streamlines the data a bit. Some post facilities request it for deliveries because it works better with the file managers they use. For example sound facilities will use the EDLs to see what has changed in the cut so they can reconform their sound work at their end. Sometimes they request an optimised EDL for that.
First of all thank you for explanation ! Please tell me, after the new Avid update, there are problems with the sound card when turning on the program. many errors, sample rate is changing from 48 Hz to 96 Hz, and i must change every time back and fors. it start with Focusrite scarlet G2, today i buy Universal audio Volt 1, same problem. What card do you have? Thank you !
Don't care about title tool, I want them to upgrade the code to m1 native. Scrubbing in premiere/davinci feels ridiculously better, even with random codecs.
I must admit I noticed a performance boost in 2023.8 and checked with avid. There's a bunch new native code. They add more with each release and with this one I really noticed the difference :)
@@theavidassistant Aand scratch that, they have removed any old versions before 23.8!? I have perpetual and am stuck on 22.4 and now literally don't have access to the software I own. I was ready to upgrade today but if this is how avid treats us... :(
@jeremias3363 yeah they had put out messages for a while about it on socials and I had made posts all around about it too. The reason was due to expired license agreement with a company called Nexidia so any version of avid containing their code couldn't be supplied by avid. It will still work with your license and you can use it but avid just can't host it. I have a bunch of versions downloaded going back a while. If you tell me the version you are after and the platform and an email address I'll see if I have it to send a download link tomorrow.

@flytek03 will pass it on when I get to talk to them. Symphony definitely seems to be the toolset that is most often overlooked.

What problems are you having exactly?
What does optimizing an EDL actually mean/do?
I think it just streamlines the data a bit. Some post facilities request it for deliveries because it works better with the file managers they use.
For example sound facilities will use the EDLs to see what has changed in the cut so they can reconform their sound work at their end. Sometimes they request an optimised EDL for that.
also remove import setting tab XDCAM. any idea where i can setup how many audio channel i can to import?
