edit sequence into a sequence

[Shane Ross]

Load the sequence into the VIEWER. Mark your inpoint on the sequence in the timeline. Now, press APPLE-F10. This will drop in all the clips. APPLE-F9 will CUT them into the timeline, inserting it and moving everything else down…you know.

Or you can have both sequences open and COPY/PASTE one into the other.

Lots of ways to do things.

The funny thing, is the way you described it is exactly how it’s done in Media Composer. Drag seq to viewer, set your patches, mark in/out, then overwrite or insert.

Maybe it’s just the way I worked in Avid, with my personal settings and experience being a mix of Avid, Media100, VideoCube, AfterEffects, and Premiere, but the switch to FCP made perfect sense to me. I was able to do things the way I did in Avid, or just grab things and move them around just like in every other app other than avid.

Except with an Avid you don’t have to press the APPLE key…just the overwrite button does it. With FCP, if you don’t press APPLE, then your sequence gets laid in as a nest.

Thankyou

I knew it would be something simple but was looking everywhere for it. Now I can stop bitching that Final Cut does not do that little thing that avid does.

: )

mucho gratias

Well the overwrite and inserts buttons are different too on an avid. I just meant the workflow was the same.

I am liking FCP so far. But the real test is when I get into longer from projects.

So far my only real gripe is final cuts realtime playback from mixed format projects. At the moment I’m cutting a spot that is a mix of 16mm timelapse and HDcam.

It is a real pain to keep rendering edits.

That would be the only real function of avid I miss at the moment.

thanks
