  timeline questions

  Posted by Sean Finocchio on September 27, 2006 at 5:02 am

  Hello there, I hope this is an easy one. I’m cutting a :30 spot. I’d love the sequence to be just a little longer-say :35. Final cut seems to make each sequence varied lengths- 25 minutes-13 minutes- 8 hours…..and so on. All that wasted space when working on a little spot? I’m sure this is a no brainer. BTW- I’m new to this part of town. I’ve lived on the other side of the tracks for the last 10 years. Thanks in advance.

  A few more quick ones: can you colorize tracks in the timeline?
  Is there a timecode window you can view while digitizing?

  joeyjoejoe,

  The timeine will always stop playing on the last frame so there really isn’t any wasted space, it’s just that way. If you right click on the top of the timeline you can view the timeline in frames instead of Timecode. This might help you if you want to make the spot 5 frames longer. You can also use non drop code to squeeze out the frames.

  You can not alter the color of tracks.
  There is no viewable TC window while digitizing and as a heads up, the usio meters do not engage while digitizing either.

  Peace and Love 🙂
