Join Clips

[Peter Chamberlain]

HI, when you scene cut detect you can review and delete the false cuts and even select a range to delete. Then the cut list will be clean prior to sending to the conform page.

Although, what if I miss some of those issues in the scene detection page? Is it possible to make those fixes in the conform page?

In this workflow, you are best off grading from the master session directly, so you can Split and Join. There is no need to create any other sessions.

So I’m having the same issue….split a master ProRes 4444 and I’m working from the master session….

Certain clips didn’t get split when they should have. shouldn’t be a problem….
Got to Conform page, *split clips*

ooops…I was 1 frame to soon! Ok, I’ll just join the clips agaiin..

I get back “Unable to join because the two clips do not share the same master file”

If it was split from the same master file in the first place, how do I make this work?

I also have a cut-scene-detected file that I’m trying and failing to massage the EDL on. Dissolves are the issue, you can’t put them in during scene cut detection, but have ended up with no handles to the clips to dissolve the grades through, so it won’t let me apply a dissolve to the cut. I thought, okay, I’ll just join them up and then hopfully either slpit them again, or just use marks to transition between the two grades…. Nope. I can’t join or split the clips, either in the master timeline or a separate timeline I’ve created.

If this is supposed to be sorted out in the cut scene page before sending to conform, how are we supposed to deal with two clips with a dissolve between them?

I swear I did this a couple days ago on a separate project. Anyone have any suggestions?

[Simon Hyland] ” I thought, okay, I’ll just join them up and then hopfully either slpit them again, or just use marks to transition between the two grades….”

Yep. But you HAVE to work off the Master timeline. You can’t split or join clips on any alternate timelines.

[Simon Hyland]

I can’t slit or join clips from the Master Session either. At least with the a 2nd session I get an error message saying “unable to join clips as they do not share the same master clip”. From the master session I highlight the clips I want to join, hit join and… nothing.

I just checked the project I did on Monday and it has dissolves that I put in the timeline, without any issues or handles, done exactly the same way I’m trying now. But now won’t let me add any more. It’s all quite screwy.

[Simon Hyland]

Just in case any one else is having this issue, the only way I could get it to work was to save my grades, delete all my clips and go back to Scene Cut Detection. Instead of putting cuts in the middle of dissolves and thinking I could change them to dissolves later, I deleted those cuts and instead razored them in teh timeline and added dissolves. I had to create a second session to do so as I still can’t razor, spilt or join clips from the master session.
