  Adjust which ‘Frame’ is used for ID in bins

  Posted by Alex Bond on June 25, 2008 at 2:17 pm

  Is it possible to change what picture appears as the Frame for clips in bins, ie when you change the view to Text, the picture on the left, currently set from the first frame of the clip.

  I need to be able to adjust this for printing bins for clients who want the frame to be useful to them (if it’s a pullout for example you won’t be able to make out what the clip is on the first frame as it could be too zoomed in)

  Thanks in advance

  A.

  1-Place the bin in frame mode.

  2-Select the clip you want to adjust.

  3-Use JKL to find the frame you want to represent the clip.

  Note: There may be a setting that has to be switched to allow you to playback from the bin… I don’t think so, but if this doesn’t work go through the settings.

  Same steps as above, but I’ve always used the 10-fr and 1-fr keys 1,2,3,4 on the alpha keyboard.
