Fixed in Avid Symphony v3.5.1

The following have been fixed:

➤ (Macintosh only) Permission errors prohibiting multiple users to log into the Avid editing

system. This has been fixed, however, you need to remove any pre-existing AMALogger files before you start the Avid editor.

To remove any pre-existing AMA Logger files:

1. Before you start the new Avid editor application (v3.5.1), go to Macintosh HD/Users/Shared/Avid product name/Avid FatalErrorReports.

2. Delete all AMALoggerxx_xx_xx.log files. (The logger files display a created date, for example: AMALogger03_11_09.log.)

This removes the old logger file from the previous version of the Avid editor (v3.5). A new logger file gets created when you log into the Avid editing application (v3.5.1), this logger file does not have any permission errors prohibiting multiple users from logging in.

3. You should be able to start the Avid editor application as multiple users

➤ Previously, you might have experienced extremely slow timeline response time when

working with XDCAM HD and XDCAM Proxy media in an Avid Unity MediaNetwork or Avid Unity ISIS shared storage environment. This has been improved. You should delete the MCState file and delete your Project Setting to take advantage of this new fix.

➤ Previously, some DV50 QuickTime imports did not import audio. This has been fixed.

➤ Previously, dragging a Color Correction template from a bin to a bucket did not apply the

settings to the bucket. This has been fixed.

Before You Install the Editing Application

Use the following information to determine which editing applications can be installed on your system.

Existing Editor Upgrades

The following existing editing applications can be upgraded to the following:

• Media Composer versions v2.7.x and higher can upgrade to Media Composer v3.x (on WinXP OS).

• Symphony Nitris versions v1.7.x and higher can upgrade to Symphony Nitris v3.x (on WinXP OS). If you are an Avid DS Nitris and Avid Symphony Nitris Dual Boot customer, you cannot upgrade to Symphony v3.0.

• NewsCutter XP and NewsCutter Adrenaline versions v6.7.x and higher can upgrade to NewsCutter v7.x (on WinXP OS).

Before You Install the Editing Application

If you are a new customer (never installed an Avid editor on your system) you can install the following on an approved WinXP system or an approved Vista system:

• Media Composer v3.0 and higher

• Symphony Nitris v3.0 and higher

• NewsCutter v7.0 and higher

The following upgrade process to the Vista version of the editing application is not supported:

For example, if a Media Composer v2.7.x customer uninstalled the editing application, upgraded the OS from WinXP to Vista, and then tried to install Media Composer 3.x, the installation would fail. The only allowable Vista editing application installation is on a clean Vista system.

The Macintosh version of the Media Composer v3.x release can only be installed on a clean Macintosh with OS X Leopard.

Notes on Vista OS

Note the following topics if you are running the editing application on the Vista OS.

Disabling Desktop Compositing

If you are running an editing application on the Vista OS, when the Avid editor is launched you might see a dialog box asking you to disable desktop compositing. You can disable it without adversely affecting the Avid editing application.

You can choose to disable it and continue with your editing session. The dialog will appear once you relaunch the application unless you disable the option.

To disable the desktop compositing:

1. Access the Control Panel.

2. Double-click System.

3. Click Change Settings.

4. Click the Advanced tab.

5. Under the Performance area, click Settings.

6. Uncheck “Enable desktop composition.” The dialog box requesting you to disable desktop compositing does not appear the next

time you launch the editing application.

User Access Control Setting

Windows Vista includes User Access Control (UAC), which makes you aware of changes that will be made to your computer letting you decide to allow the changes or not. Avid recommends that you leave UAC ON. This feature is turned on by default in the Windows Vista operating system.

Standard User

You need to first install the editing application as an Administrator. If you are in a Shared Storage environment, mount your workspaces as an Administrator. You may then log off and log back in as a Standard user, if necessary.

Vista Windows Sidebar

If the Vista Windows Sidebar is enabled, you might see flickering on the Timeline monitor when you stop playback. You should disable Windows Sidebar:

To disable the Vista Windows Sidebar:

1. Right click on the Sidebar or Sidebar icon, and choose Properties.

2. Deselect “Start Sidebar when Windows starts.”

3. Right-click the icon, and choose Exit to close the sidebar.

New Folder Structure

Some editing application folders have moved to a new location that is now shared and visible to the user on installation. These folders are created at installation time and are given special permissions to work for all users.

The following folders are created on your Windows XP system in the following location:

C:/Documents and Settings/AllUsers/Shared Documents/<AvidProductName>

• Avid Attic

• Avid Users

• Avid Media_Files

• Avid Templates

Before You Install the Editing Application

•Settings

• Avid FatalErrorReports

Cleaning up Old Folders Before Installation

Do the following to clean up old folders before you install the new ones if you are performing an upgrade.

To clean up folders:

1. Before installing Symphony 3.0, you need to uninstall your old version and any version of FilmScribe, EDL Manager, MediaLog, and Avid Log Exchange.

2. Remove the following Registry keys on your system if they still exist after the uninstallation process.

HKLM/Software/Avid Technology/<productname> HKLM/Software/Avid Technology/AVX Plug-ins

3. From the following folders, remove any folders that do not have custom data in them that you want to keep. If you do have custom data, copy the data to the new locations after step 4.

C:/Documents and Settings/AllUsers/ApplicationData/Avid/<productname> C:/Program Files/Avid/<ProductName> (Vista) C:/ProgramData/Avid/<Productname>

4. Install the new Avid editing application.

Notes on Software Licensing

If You Upgrade Your Operating System

If you need to upgrade your operating system after you install your Avid editing application, first deactivate your software. After you upgrade your operating system and, if required, reinstall your application, you can reactivate your software. For information on activating and deactivating your software license, see the Installation Guide for Avid Editing Applications.

Laptop Network Settings

Your software license uses information from your system’s network configuration. Some laptops disable the Network Interface Card (NIC) when connecting to the Internet through a wireless network connection. If you run your Avid editing application on a laptop, be sure that your NIC and wireless configuration is always the same as when you originally activated your software. See the user assistance for your computer for information on changing network settings.

Using the GetLicenseInfo Utility

Avid provides a utility program — GetLicenseInfo.exe — that retrieves information specific to your license. This is useful if you no longer have the original license information or if you need to provide this information to Avid Customer Support. The license information retrieved by the utility depends on your system, but it can include the following:

• Avid editing product name

• License type

• Status

•System ID

• Serial number (for security reasons, only part of the serial number is displayed)

• Avid machine ID

To retrieve license information:

1. Navigate to one of the following locations:

t (Windows) Program Files\Avid\Utilities\GetLicenseInfo t (Macintosh) Applications/Utilities/Avid Utilities/GetLicenseInfo

Installing the Software

2. Double-click GetLicenseInfo.exe A terminal window opens and displays your license information.

3. Copy the appropriate license information, and then close the terminal window.

Installing the Software

If you are updating from a previous release, you should uninstall the existing editing application. You should also uninstall Digi Drivers using Add/Remove from the Control Panel. Reboot the system and then install the new editing application. If you do not remove the Digi Drivers, the Audiosuite plug-ins do not load and you might receive either the error message “This software requires installation of device driver TPkd and a reboot before running” or a “DAE Interface NOT Available” error message. If you see these errors on a clean installation on a brand new system, install Hot fix KB926255 from Windows Update to fix the problem

(Macintosh Only) If you are upgrading from a previous version of the Macintosh editing application, remove the Stereo Mixer.dpm and Surround Mixer.dpm plug-ins from the following location: Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins. If you do not remove these files, you might experience problems with the AudioSuite Tool.

For all Avid editing applications, you must first log in as the Administrator (not just a user with administrator privileges), install the application, and initially launch the application as the Administrator. If you are working in a shared storage environment, mount your workspaces. You may then subsequently run the Avid editing application as a regular User.

(Windows) To install the Avid editing application software:

1. Quit all active applications.

2. Insert the editing application DVD.

3. Click to Install the Avid Editor Suite or Individual Product and follow the on screen instructions.

If the FilesInUse dialog box appears, you can safely select Ignore and continue.

might be minimized into your task bar at installation time. If your installation is taking longer than 5-10 minutes, please check your task bar for an icon with the word SOFTWARE in it. Click the icon and you may safely select Continue Anyway to continue your installation.

4. When prompted, select “Yes, restart my computer.”

(Macintosh) To install the Avid Editing application software:

1. Quit all applications.

2. Insert the editing application DVD.
