Hi folks, I'm running DP 7.24 on OS 10.7.5. On certain projects (not if I create a blank new project with no template) trying to view a track or tracks in QuickScribe throws an "Unexpected error (-8796)". I can sometimes get into the Quickscribe window past the error but it is blank and gr...

Thank goodness for bulletin boards, this was about to make me tear my hair out... same thing for me! Though in my case I did do something in the view select somewhat recently (though, I am pretty sure I didn't turn off soundbite view!).

Technically I guess DP calls it "chunk start time" if you want to look it up in the manual. Pull out the little "tray" from the top window, the one with tempo control and timecode optoins, and there's a "start times..." button.

I feel your pain... Automatic Duck does make a plugin for FCP which allows it to export proper OMF files. I'm using one right now. It works great: pan and level info intact.

You might consider calling a studio (they all have ProTools these days) and seeing if you can pay them for an hour of time to bring in your OMF file and have them reexport it for you. I don't know about SONAR.

Hi bob, What I ended up doing to fix it was to import the OMF into ProTools on a friend's system (it imports flawlessly into ProTools), and re-exporting from there. The OMF I exported from ProTools then opens fine in DP. ProTools apparently has some way of dealing with the file names, or whatever is...

Oh, sorry I forgot to mention -- I'm on DP 4.61 (I'm installing an earlier version on another computer as I type just in case the earlier version works better...) on a G5 Panther.

Hi folks, I'm doing audio post on a project and need to import an OMF from the editor into DP. The offline was on an ancient Avid symphony. They gave me an OMF 2.0 that my husband can import into Avid Express Pro just fine, but I get all sorts of weird glitches. When he exports it from Express Pro a...
