  Change in master clip behavior

  Posted by Tom Wolsky on February 22, 2007 at 3:23 pm

  This seems to have changed substantially in v5.1.2 and 5.1.3. It’s not correctly documented in LBN.

  If you open a master clip from the Browser, mark I/O in the clip and drag it back into the Browser, this used to create an affiliate clip. Currently the newly created clip is also a master clip and not an affiliate clip.

  I don’t know if this was an intentional change, or a by-product of other changes, but it’s certainly not clearly spelled out in the documentation and substantially different from previous versions 4 through 5.1 and different from current instructional documentation.

  All the best,

  Tom

  But is it better or worse than 5.1.1?

  Editorial sidetrack, do not read:
  I thoroughly detest and loathe the entire clip handling paradigm. I’ve had it explained to me by all you wonks and I still have no idea why any of it matters. Less cool systems, say, Media 100 v1 – v7, have or had no such nonsense.

  This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
