  • Matchback bug; confirm or deny please

    Posted by Neil Ryan on September 13, 2007 at 3:11 am

    scenario: Use FIND to obtain a small selection of clips from a large bin; select clip from FIND RESULTS into Viewer, edit into Timeline; select clip in Timeline and try to Matchback to bin (shift+F)
    result: FCP cannot locate the master clip in its original bin or anywhere (error message: “The clip’s master clip is not present. Would you like to add a master clip to the Browser?”)

    Can anyone confirm or otherwise that this bug exists, please?

    Thanks,
    Neil.

    When you view the clip in the viewer does the title bar also include the clip’s project name? So something like “Wideshot Street in My Project” Or does it just say “Wideshot Street?”

    If it doesn’t show the project name the search option is probably sourcing afiliate clips not master clips. AFAIK, the shift-F feature only works with master clips from the sequences project.
