Default Re: Video Engine error when system is idle

This has been very consistant for me since Pro Tools 12 was released. I'm now on 12.6. Anyone else have this problem?
I had problems like this using a slower hard drive for video. If you're not already try running video off an SSD if available. The AVE is very picky especially when it comes to drives going to sleep. That should be disabled in System Prefs. Some "eco" drives put themselves to sleep anyway regardless of that setting.
