Grouping in Avid
Okay, now I have grouped clips in Avid a handful of times and I have found it to be quite a pain to handle grouping. I’ve also done it in FCP and it seems a lot less of a pain to handle the same task.
Now, rather than do the conventional way in Avid to group clips; layout and sync, then do all the subclips where you use the f2-f8 keys etc etc, wouldn’t it be easier to just lay out all your clips according to timecode, make sure they are all in sync, find a common ref where all cams are matched, then match frame back to each source and place an in point, then just select all clips and group them from that? Let’s eliminate the subclip process. It causes too many issues if the metadata in the subclip is broken. Does that seem to make sense? Any thoughts out there?
Basically it is more like the grouping workflow that I used in FCP on a show.

None of the clips have common timecode?

Thanks for the response. I figured out that it wouldn’t work because the cameras were not jam synced with TC. Which sucks because I just don’t like having to creating all those subclips.
