    Hi All,

    Despite having cut on AVID for 18 years I know there are loads of shortcuts hidden in there that I don’t know, but is there one for this….

    I want to be able to select all the clips in a bin and then clear all of the marked in and out points so that I can make a timeline of the unedited clips to use as a source (virtual tape if you will). It was easy in FCP but I’ve never found a way to do it in media composer.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Select all the clips in the bin, hit the Remove In/Out shortcut on your keyboard. You used to have to be in script view or another view (not basic – was it Text view?), but that might have changed in v6.x

    You can also use AutoSequence which was designed for virtual reel creation. Selecting all clips and then AutoSequence will create a sequence where source timecode matches record side timecode. So if using TOD, there very well may be black gaps between clips. If you use the “option/ALT” key while selecting AutoSequence, it will create the same sequence with no gaps, (and no matching timecode between source/record). The AutoSequence process will also clear all marks in the process.
