Avid Xpress Pro exporting problem

Hi folks,

Relevant info -- PC, Avid Xpress Pro 4.3, Quicktime 7

I'm attempting to export a reel and while attempting to export to quicktime reference i'm getting this error message:

Unable to export the bin
AudioMoveHelpArbitrator::GenerateContinuityInfo()
CONSISTENCY CHECK FAILURE !?! : [0]

It comes up every time at 49% on the AIFF Export w/SR conversion step. I tried switching to exporting as a vanilla quicktime video and I get the following:

Exception: Parameter Error! This export format may require audio or video tracks.

I wasn't able to turn anything up on the first error message, but after some searching I found that quicktime 7 was linked to some problems using Avid Media Composer. Could this be the culprit? Any help is greatly appreciated, let me know if any additional info is needed to help track down this problem.

That would be the first place I would start looking. That combination is incompatible. You need Xpress Pro 5.2 for QT 7, or you need QT 6.5 for Xpress Pro 4.3.
 
It's probably worth it to upgrade anyway, I remember all kinds of goofy export problems before upgrading to 5.2 (though I haven't done much exporting since the upgrade to see how much was fixed I know it was supposed to be).
 
Thanks for the advice guys -- i'll have to decide which I want to do.

As a side note, any idea if 5.2 will run with the newest Nvidia drivers? I have a 6800gt in this thing and was forced to roll back my drivers from the newest to version 77.77 :-\ That could be the deal breaker here.
 
I just had to do the same thing. I have an Nvidia Quadro FX 4500 and when I upgraded to the 86.xx driver Xpress Pro 5.2 wouldn't even get through the opening process. It gave errors at multiple stepa and then just locked up. I went back to the previous driver and it works again. I don't remember what driver that is though, and I'm not at that computer. I think it was 70 something.
 
If you search through Nvidia's site, you'll find a page that lists several different companies and the driver version that they have qualified. Avid is on that list. I can gaurentee that Avid hasn't qualified the newest driver yet though.

Having a working editor, or having the newest drivers is something that you'll have to weigh out for yourself.
