Re: Random picture blackouts in PT12
Sorry if this is already been covered been covered.
Whilst running Media Composer on a a very similar setup to yours (MacPro 5.1, 10.10.5 with dual 3.2 Xeons) here I had been getting both video and or audio dropouts with a very large current project that uses a variety of video media formats. Are you running the video on a separate drive. If not I would recommend doing that and making that drive an SSD if possible. FWIW What helped here was fitting a PCIe card (less than $150) with SSD drive mount. SSD performance is stellar. The card has an added bonus of a SATA connection that I used to an external SATA drive. This SATA drive showed nearly 3 times gain in Read Write speeds (4GBs) over it's performance when mounted internally. (BM speed test) Andrew |

Re: Random picture blackouts in PT12
You're not seeing this
http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=361031 are you? Doesn't sound like it since you have audio dropouts too, but worth checking. It's been a bug for about 3 years that hasn't been fixed and it's not random. Happens 100% of the time with given settings: PT is in loop playback Pre-roll is on and the video sync offset is not 0. The video will do a 1-2frame "black wink" right on the edge where the pre-roll ends (where you hit play) Frank.

Re: Random picture blackouts in PT12
I am not talking about the black wink as its indeed an old bug.
I describe the situation when while screening 120 minutes feature, there might be a 5 sec blackout e.g after 45 minutes and its totally unpredictable on which minute and if it's gonna happen again. But it's quite frustrating when having a client with 12 other guests sitting in your room. Happened to me just before yesterday.
