AudioSuite won't preview
When I add the AudioSuite effect to my audio clip and open the EQ 7-band effect panel, the clip won't preview. I've been working on this timeline with many other AudioSuite effects; it just stopped working today.
Things I've tried: switching user profile, deleting and rebuilding Avid Site Settings, Site Attributes, MC State. Restarting Avid, restarting computer, etc. I do not see a .avs file in my project folder, so I can't try that trick.
What else can I try? Any tips? Has anyone else had this problem? Thank you!

Media Composer 2024.4 Rename Track Bug?
Hey, am getting a strange text UI behaviour when I rename tracks, they look like this:
I found a work around by checking the "Show Track Names" and it displays correctly as it normally would, but unchecked it looks like the above. Is it a setting error or curious if anyone else has experienced? Thank you!

Problem playing 4x3 in 16x9
Documentary with NTSC SD, NTSC 16x9 and HD. Ediitng in HD. I've blown up the NTSC 4x3 to 1268x864 and the 16x9 1440x864, both ProRes HQ. When I bring it into the job, the 1440x864 looks and plays fine, with the right pillars sides and bottom. But the 4x3 clips (1268x864) are invisible. If I try to transcode I get an error. BUT, if I go into source settings, they are there, and one can choose center keep size and it looks right. How do I get these clips to show up and play? Thank you.

Freeze Ups and Strange Mac Behavior
I'm getting beach ball stalling across numerous projects. Not crashing, but consistent and debilitating stalls. Beachball just spins for awhile and then I can move. But another stall is coming shortly. Hard to pin down. I've tried removing my blackmagic drivers, deleting project settings, deleting MCSTATE, new user and creating fresh projects. Nothing helps. One odd thing I noticed in the Force Quit menu is that Media Composer seems to be grabbing onto other applications or the Finder. See attached pic. No sure what to make of that.

Hi,
This option used to be in audioextras but I can't see it anymore.
Where can I find it now?
Thanks

MC 2024.2 and Artist DNxIV / AjA IO 4K
Hi there!
When I start Mediacomposer the AjA IO is regognized (but with wrong number of output channels), AJA Control Panel shows "In use by Avid", but I only get colorbars on output.
When I close MC and delete MCState on next start everything is fine until I close MC and restart. Then again only colorbars. So somehow MCState gets corrupted.
I tried AJA driver 16.2.2 and 17.1. No difference. It worked fine on MC2023.3.
When I close MC it sometimes (not always) chrashes.
Thanks for help!

JKL Frame Stepping
Hello!
I like that you can hold down K and press either J or L to step frame by frame, however, it's quite laggy when compared to traditional stepping with the LEFT or RIGHT arrows. Is there a way to use the traditional step commands in the same fashion?
Thanks!

Is there a render on-the-fly option for playback...
Was asked by a collegue if there is anything similar to the Premiere function of disabling all effects in the timeline for playback purposes. Options are to mute the track, mute the clips, drop the timeline quality. None very appealing as the 1st requires all effects to be in the same track which in practice is quite challenging. 2nd requires a lot of lassoing or selecting and isn't the quick button toggle he's looking for, 3rd means suffering lower quality playback. Render on-the-fly seems to be the ticket for when you are only scrubbing through the sequence or parked on a frame but it doesn't work whilst playing - it still shows the effect.
Is there a setting that allows MC to bypass all effects in a timeline whilst playing? Maybe a console command?

Avid Media Composer 2024 Audio Issue (Alternating L/R - Centered
Hi,
I found a strange issue in the 2024 version.
I imported/transcoded my sound files but my user setting was Alternating L/R. i changed it back to CENTERED and all of the sudden the audio quaility dropped. I sounded like the software changed the EQ and i lost the low freqs - basically the bass from the audio.
I deleted 2024 and went back to 2023.12.1 which solved the issue.
Did anyone else run into this issue?
Thanks,
Daniel

version compatibility
If i am running Avid MC 2024 and my assistant is running 2023.12.1, can we share bins back and forth with no issue? We won't be using any 3rd party plug-ins.
Thank you
