Can you (file) import without audio?

[Gerry Condez]

I am guessing that the track map is only when acquiring video but not importing. I dont think I have seen another button to disable audio upon import.

On a similar subject, is it possible to set a preference for audio imports come in as centre pan?

I guess you cannot import without audio. But you can select the clips you want in your bin, and then press Command-ALT-U to unsync/remove the audio before editing the clips into the timeline…

Thanks Floh yes, unsyncing is easy enough but it’s the panning of each track that takes time. I usually work with centre panning for everything except for music and audio tracks come in via Sony Transfer with left and right panning. I was hoping that there may be a possibility of setting a preference, either within Transfer or Media 100.

Thanks Flo – This helps – I was un-syncing on the time line and then deleting the audio – your method sounds a lot faster.

Thanks again.

Floh, does the CMD U (Unsync/remove) actually delete (trash) the audio files from the media folder or just remove the link to the audio files which will remain? I would prefer the trash, or at least that option as a space saver. Thanks.

It only unsyncs and leaves the files on the drives.
