Can’t do a 3 point edit (too many markers?)
I’m new to Avid (from FCP) so sorry for the newbie questions but I can’t do a simple 3 point edit because I keep getting a message saying, “Too many marks to make this edit. (Sync Point Editing is on).”
I’ve got an I/O in my sequence and an In in my source monitor. It should work but I keep getting that error message when I try to Overwrite (B). I’m using Media Composer 4 on a MacBook Pro. Thanks in advance.

Turn off Sync Point editing. I’m not in front of a system and can’t remember where this option is, but I’m guessing it’s under your Timeline settings in your Settings tab. Search around in there until you find that option and uncheck it. You should be able to do a three point edit then.

Same issue but on a Newscutter…
I’ve been playing around with NC9. I have had no issues editing SD content captured via Mojo baseband. However, when I tried hooking a Sony EX3 up and edit with clips directly from the camera…I’m getting a notice telling me that SYNC POINT EDITING is on.
I’ve scoured the forums on this issue…MC users are directed to the settings>composer>turn off SPE button. However…(unless I’m missing something) there is no “composer” menu in Newscutter under any of the setting tabs to turn SPE off..
Where in NC9 is the place to turn this setting off?
Is there a difference between SYNC Lock and SYNC Point?
Also…just curious why this happened using file based video vs baseband video?
Thanks…Mike
