PT8 and Titan

[C]

Anyone using Titan with PT8?

I have been this morning and have been having problems.

Use Flash Conform to create a PT session - works

Open FC session in PT8 - works

Import OMF into FC session - works

Save Copy In to PT 5.1-5.9 session - works most of time (1 failure will give details later)

Fix Sync - works

Open Fix Sync session in PT8 - fails (end of scope or something like that details to follow)

Anyone having success with this workflow?

So after 3 cs updates this still is not working.

the Fix Sync'd file will open in 7.4.2 but not in PT8cs3.

Tried to get into the new Avid support system but got error after error after error and gave up with it.

Has anyone used Titan successfully with PT8?

Thanks

I am also having problems with PT 8. Every time I try to open the FC session I get an end of thread error. Ended up having to manually cut and move against the EDL. Long time....

Got an email from Synchro Arts saying they were working on it.

Good! Is Titan PT8 compatible?

Flash Conform certainly is but for some reason PT8 doesn't like the files that Fix Sync creates.

If I hear more I'll let you know.

Did you try importing the tracks from the saved 7.4.2 session into an 8 session?

Once the session has been opened and saved in 7.4.2 it opens on 8 without problems. Very strange indeed.

Has anyone had an issue with Fix Sync trying to locate files?

Ran the conform through Flash conform. (Fixed Files Types)
Opened it in PT 7.4.2. (When I opened the session it had missing files but relinked fine when I pointed it back to the sound rolls by 'filename'. Wouldn't allow me to relink by format or ID.' Thinking this might have something to do with it.) Did a save session copy in PT 6 and ran that through Fix Sync but then it asks to locate my guide track and a whole bunch of sound files when I KNOW they are connected in my session.

Never had this problem until now on two separate shows.

Any insight?

Confirming that Titan Fix Sync does not work with PT8...flash conform does, but we have to hand sync. Not the end of the world and still a huge time saver to assemble with reasonable accuracy a 45 minute TV episode with 6 to 9 channels of BWFp files. There is a bug in 8 that will not let you drag and drop a 9+ poly file into PT8 without resulting in an empty file. I've reported this and sent examples but no response as of yet.
To play it safe I use an install of PT 7.3.1 to run Titan and at least if I have a 9+ poly it will import it...I found that 7.3.1 doesn't have the poly import bug...yet another thing that Avid/Digi broke along the upgrade path.
I too am hoping that the Titan folks keep supporting their creation since there isn't really any other option that I can find, and I've looked around. Even though it's a spendy app it still saves bunches of time in that it pulls the polys in while de-multing them, and otherwise lengthy real time option, I know since we have had to de-mult some of the 9+ polys to be able to D&D them into PT8.x.
