Pro Tools sessions keep crashing

Dear KP,

Yes we can get the same here, ignoring the error doesn't cause an issue, do you know if the case is still open with Avid ?

Many thanks.

It doesn't crash anymore, but you still get the error message.

We have tested this with Pro Tools 12.8.1 and it seems to be fixed.

In our experience, the problem doesn't occur with ProTools 10.3... after tests...
So indeed, it seems it's a problem with Avid and not X2Pro ...

Martin

We don't really know what causes this, but we're confident that it is a bug in Pro Tools, not X2Pro

We had the same problem yesterday
Same message : "/Volumes/Development/200028/ProTools/NewFileLibs/FF/Audio/FF_AudioFile.cpp", line 1104
Same issu



Same workaround...

Do you think trying to create AFF without excluding some role could help !!!

FCP X.3.3
X2Pro last version
ProTools 12.7.

Dear KP

Many thanks for the update, yes that does appear to be quicker.

Yours Sincerely

James

Update from Avid:

I have gathered a workaround issue on your case. It is actually a bug that has been already resolved
Here is a workaround you can use.

Workaround for Assertion 1100 anmd 1004 AAF Import

1. Create a New Session
2. Do an Import Session Data of the AAF file, you'll get an Assertion Error after doing the import, but you can just bypass that error.
3. Do a Save Copy In of the new session
4. Work on the Saved Copy In session.

Note, if you open the New Session, where you initially did the Import Session Data, you'll instantly get an Assertion Error upon opening that session

This looks like a similar workaround to what you suggested for creating the new session and importing session data, except maybe a bit quicker.

Dear KP

Many thanks.

Hi James

I have opened a support case with Avid and so far they don't seem to be sure of what the problem is. I will let you know if anything comes of it.

Thanks

Marc

Dear KP

We would really appreciate it, if you could advise Avid of the issue you experienced, this was raised by Yogi previously with an Avid ticket of 03139575, it just helps much more if an issue is reported directly by an end user rather than from ourselves.

Yours sincerely

James

Hi James

This works- thanks for the help. Please let us know as soon as the bug is fixed.

Dear KP,

We will chase Avid again, in the meantime there is a workaround that Yogi discovered that should get you up and running.

If you import the AAF into PT and dismiss the error, you should see everything ok, but you will need to save it. You will then need to create new and import session data using the session you just saved, this should work.

Please advise.

Yours sincerely

James

Hi James

I'm using PT 12.7.1. See XML attached.

Thanks

Hi KP,

Can you attach one of XML's where the sub roles are not filtered that causes the crash in PT and can you confirm the version of PT you are using.

Many thanks.
