Default Re: 2021.3 Video engine and bounce to .mov crashes.

It seems that the audio elements themselves (plugins, MIDI, audio files) aren't the issue, it's PT having to manipulate the video after the bounce that's the prime culprit, yes?

So if you bounce to QT without shortening the movie it's all gravy, but ask PT to change the length of that movie and the floor drops out.

Perhaps not so simple, but coming into this thread just 5 minutes ago that's how it reads.

Oh, I see. So you're saying if you bounce the entire movie then it just replaces the audio without recompressing the video. But if you bounce a clip--like we all have to do all the time--it recompresses and takes forever.

PT includes various video parameters when bouncing MOVs, so you certainly could force alteration(s) to the video, but what I've noticed, and supported by what I'm reading here, is that PT seems less likely to crash if you keep the video as close to its original format as possible, and that includes length.

I did some bouncing to MOV yesterday, kept bounce length to the exact duration of the video, and it was smooth sailing. Ironically, it began crashing after I switched back to bouncing WAVs.

Interesting test..

BTW, I wanted to let the thread viewers of this posting, that I have been working with Avid closely on filing crash reports and testing various versions of what I have been experiencing prior to my consistent bounce successes along with the previous sessions that had more going on like various virtual instruments, plugins, etc. I ran Pro Res 422 movies in the same session, but with different parameters. So, I got finished with a bunch of info to the bug team via some of the Avid Team leads.

hopefully now, they will be getting this solved for us-:)

SO UPDATE HERE!

Had been testing this for Avid on my own time and I guess they have maybe fixed the crashing issue.

bounced a 1 sec movie bounce with Same As Source and also ProRes 422 Render and it worked without a hitch! So I guess they got it sorted.. This was ME just randomly selecting a section in the show. Same one I had crashes in recently that I sent you-:). That is where I was having a real problem with this!

So that is working well so far.. I"ll keep testing others.. They are also aware of the slow loading import thing which I"ll post at the appropriate thread.

Done a few tests with 2021.6 this morning and it looks like it's all fixed. Even bounces to highlighted sections.

Yeah. I spent several weeks working with them on sending crash reports log files etc. etc. I even sent them a session that they could see what was happening.. Paired it down and made sure it still crashed. I think that helped. Seems like they were not really aware of the problem until I persisted with them. All good here now and every better improvements to movie bounce overall. I like the Same As Source option also!
