Making adjustments to offline clip info after logging… Easier way?
This has been driving me nuts….
1. Let’s say I punch many many numbers in…. after doing so, I realize that I had the wrong reel number for some of them…. or let’s say I had video only selected and relaize that I want audio captured as well. Is there a way to adjust that info in numerous clips at the same time?
2. How come when I try to adjust an offline clip’s timecode in’s and out’s, it seems to insert some sort of wacked number. Example: My clip ‘newfie 8’ had an inpoint of 00:43:26:00 and out 00:46:34:00. This was wrong. I needed the in to be 00:46:26:00. So, I look in the bin, and under the Media Start column I see my wrong number. I click on it, happy that I am allowed to change it this easily, and punch in my revised t/c. 00:46:26:00…. I press enter. Guess what, my media start is now 00:46:28:24 and my out has also shifted to some bizar number. I tried this under the clip info/loggin info tab as well.
Is this some sort of ‘feature’ that I don’t know about.
Please help guys.

1. Select the first “wrong” entry info in the Browser column
2. Make the correction on that first “wrong” one.
3. highlight and “copy” (Apple-c) THAT one,
4. highlight all of the “wrong” ones (individually or in groups) in that column and hit “paste” (Apple-v). -
A clip’s originally logged duration seems to rule the clip, which is, dare I say, buggy behavior. The duration shouldn’t force the changed clip to remain the same length. You usually want it to be a different length, actually. Usually this happens when you are logging on the fly and you catch something good after your originally set Out point. You want to set a new TC number in the Browser for the Out Point. When you do, it screws up your In Point and re-calculates it due to the original duration.
The duration of the clip should be calculated after the newly placed edit point is set.
I believe that this has never really worked right. Here’s what I do as a workaround:
I just memorize the TC Out point, enter the new In point and then re-enter the Out after setting the new In. That seems to work.G.

Do you ever find that when you punch in a number it doesn’t stay the same. For example, I just did this.
I wanted to change the in-point from 00:01:03:00 to 00:08:03:00.
When I punch it in, I get 00:08:03:16. No matter what I do, I can’t get it to set the exact inpoint I Want.
