We have a capture app that creates DV .mov files which play just fine in FCP but if you use media manager to trim unused media from them the audio track is silently removed, with no errors reported.

I will try to get the Log. About the amount of files: 'many' are < 200, 'a lot' are above 600. I haven't found the amount of files where the break is. And yes, all drives are mounted - otherwise FCP hopefully should give an error message :) Hi again! Another follow on question- You needed to have your devices mounted when you do the Log & Transfer. I assume you do even when you see this issue? Cheers, Helena On Nov 16, 2009, at 4:51 PM, Helena Ju wrote: Hi Andreas! Can you send along a crash log? And it would be really helpful if you could quantify 'many' vs 'a real lot'. Are we talking 10? 100? 1000?

The sending works fine without any problem in any case. Log&Transfer of 'Many' works fine. Log&Transfer of 'A real lot' does have problems when starting the Log&Transfer process. It takes forever in the Log&Transfer window on Queuing and normally will finish with a crash before any real transfer.

How many plugins does the user have installed? Which version of the app are they running? If it's just a menu problem, they should still be able to add the filters by dragging them from the Effects tab. If you could get a system profile from the user, we might be able to get more clues about what could cause the issue. Never heard of anything like this before. Have a user that says 3 of our 90+ filters are grayed-out in the filters menu. He has been able to use these filters in the past -but for some reason now they are grayed out now.

What could cause that to happen? Paul, I'm not sure what would cause it to happen. Is this in Motion or FCP? Assuming it's FCP, can they drag and drop a filter from the bin onto their footage? Or if it's in Motion, can they drag and drop from the Library window onto their footage? This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Does anybody know how custom data is encoded and how it can be decoded? It's encoding using an NSKeyedArchiver. The keyed archiver produces an NSData object which is then Base-64 encoded. You should be able to Base-64 decode it, create an NSData object with the resulting bytes and then deserialize it via NSKeyedUnarchiver. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
