What's Included in Pro Tools HD 8.0cs3 for Mac OS X?

• Elastic regions that are the same length as the original audio file may be deleted from disk after performing "select unused" and then "remove unused" files.
  

• If a session was saved with the Tempo Editor visible but the Tempo ruler hidden, opening that session and then showing the Tempo ruler may cause a crash.
  

• Pro Tools may crash when selecting leftover playlists after the previous parent track has been deleted.
  

• When launching Pro Tools or accessing the Peripherals dialog without an Ethernet cable connected to the computer, an error message is posted: "No valid network adapter is available for Video Satellite connections."
  

• Audio data, e.g. guide tracks, imported from certain QuickTime movies may play back at half speed.
  

• With several hundred audio regions on a track, switching to X-Form as the Elastic Audio algorithm may cause low memory errors and lead to a crash.
  

• Preview and/or rendering performance with X-Form on Elastic Audio tracks is improved in 8.0cs3 (compared to 8.0).
  

• Using the Time Shift Varispeed preset (PAL to Film -4%) will result in a file that drifts over time and runs out of sync with picture.
  

• Pro Tools may intermittently crash during normal playback or recording workflows.
  

• Certain sessions created in Pro Tools 7.4.x may not open in Pro Tools 8 due to a "bus error in main thread" error message.
  

• Certain sessions cannot be opened due to the following error: "Could not complete your request because out_of_range: Cmn_PolyVectorImpl::At"
  

• After a record pass using Destructive Punch, there may be a waveform present but no audio recorded to disk.
  

• Fixes surround sound compatibility when TL Space Native Edition is used with Complete Production Toolkit or Pro Tools HD
  

• Recording video with pre-roll enabled will cause audio and video to be offset by the pre-roll amount when playing back.
  

• When using the DSP Cache feature and opening sessions with automated plug-ins, certain sessions will not restore the saved plug-in settings correctly.
  

• When using Satellite Link, a Sync I/O connected to one of the networked Pro Tools systems may intermittently fail to generate time code.
  

• This would occur on Satellite systems that did not initiate playback. This error has been removed. If Satellite systems are encountering problems while linking, please contact Technical Support.
  

• Cannot browse Unity Medianet or ISIS workspaces in DigiBase. The following error message is shown repeatedly: "Assertion in "/Volumes/Development/vb_link/AlturaPorts/Fic/MacBuild/../Source/DiskScheduler/Volume/CDiskVolumeMacOS9.cpp", line 214"
  

• When sending a sequence containing a group clip to Pro Tools and then back to Media Composer via Avid Interplay with Replace Tracks, the following error message is displayed in Media Composer: "Exception: Sequence refers to non-existent track in clip. Please turn off monitoring and re-edit reference to the following clip. You may then re-enable monitoring [clip name]."
  

• When launching a session that contains Reason ReWire, Reason posts a dialog "Engine not responding. Please check your ReWire host."
  

• After changing the session start time and maintaining time code, Pro Tools will delete additional playlists and crash with a kernel panic after saving and closing the session. You may see any of the following errors prior to the crash: "Could not complete the close session command because basic_string::_S_create" or "Bus error" in thread "Main Thread", at address 0x0."
  

• Moving (dragging) an automated plug-in from inserts F-J to inserts A-E while the automation lane for one of the plug-in's parameters is visible may crash Pro Tools.
  

• Writing automation to one plug-in located on inserts F-J will cause the same automation data to be written to all other plug-ins located on insert F-J on the same track. Previously existing automation will be overwritten (or erased if the "Plug-In Controls Default to Auto-Enabled" preference is checked) after saving, closing and reopening the session.
  

• When assigning sends to a bus sub-path and using the "follow main pan" function, send pan automation may get stuck and not play back dynamically.
  

• When chasing time code and simultaneously playing back Avid video via Mojo or Mojo SDI hardware, setting pre-roll in Pro Tools will cause picture to be offset by the pre-roll amount. Additionally, video playback will stop before the end of the video clip.
  

• In certain cases sessions will not open due to the following error: "Could not complete the Open Session command because magic ID does not match while translating Session Window Config." This error is more likely to occur in tandem with very large track counts (~100) and long (>1 hour) recordings.
  

• Certain third party plug-ins such as Addictive Drums or UVI Workstation will not function correctly under Pro Tools 8. Mouse clicks are vertically offset and parts of the plug-in GUI will not draw correctly.
  

• Logic Pro 8.x will unexpectedly quit when attempting to record audio via Pro Tools hardware and DAE.
  

• Sessions containing many video regions may cause audio file import to take a long time. This affects importing from DigiBase or via drag and drop from the desktop and may cause delays of up to 10 seconds per file.
  

• Saving a session copy with sample rate conversion to a rate different from the session's may result in erroneous automation ramps between breakpoints. This is mostly evident in scenarios where a static automation level had been changed over the duration of a single region.
  

• Removing a file from the Pro Tools region list or project browser may crash Pro Tools if another audio file with the same name is already used by Transfuser.
  

• Changing the channel width by inserting a mono-to-stereo plug-in to a mono track will remove a downstream mono plug-in (and all its automation data) that resides on underlying insert slots without warning.
  

• This fix is recommended for all users of Media Composer-based Video Satellite, Satellite Link, and Video Satellite LE
  
• When using Pro Tools 8.0cs1 or higher with Satellite Link or Video Satellite LE, all connected satellite systems must be running Pro Tools 8.0cs1 or higher.
  
• When using Media Composer-based Video Satellite with Pro Tools 8.0cs1 or higher, you must run Avid Media Composer 3.1.2 or higher. Media Composer 3.1.2 updates can be downloaded from the Avid Media Composer 3.x section at www.avid.com/download
  
  • Avid Download Center
    
• Pro Tools 8.0 cannot be connected as a satellite to other systems running Pro Tools 8.0cs1 or higher, or Media Composer 3.1.2 or higher.
