Matchframe all clips in a sequence.
Hi there!
I have final edit on a feature and I have been asked to make an OMF for the soundguys. Problem is they need the sound on the specific take of the video. As it is now the edit has all sorts of different takes and effects on 12 audio tracks. What I want to do is this: Select all the video clips and get the sync audio of the clips on 2 tracks. Like a mega matchframe maneuver. Otherwise I have to manually sync back 2 hours of cuts… in FCP (my usual editing platform) I would probably delete all audio, export an XML and do some magic to it. Import it again, voila synced timeline. Any Ideas on how to do this? EDL Manager? Macros?

Try this:
Duplacte your sequence, remove all audio, export to EDL
Open the EDL, change the video from V to VA1A2, import that EDL and relink.Few problems with this, EDL’s do not like funny reelnames.
This can be a problem with relinking.If they do not need the sound sync to the timeline, decompose the video only sequence, export to .ALE, set V to VA1A2, import with the third option in import settings checked (merge with known sources), select all and copy to a new sequence, export that to OMF.
If all fails, run a macro on the V only sequence.
I’ve made a simple one, with a very important feature, pause between commands if needed. The free demo will work fine for this. Download from my site, it’s called ‘videomacro’Bouke

If Avid would have consulted with you, they’d be in much better shape today,man.

Thanks for the compliment.
Currently working on a tool that does pulldown removal (AP) on Avi (or QT) and transcodes to any qt codec (including avid).
Transcode time for DV AVI to DV Avid codec, app. 20 times FASTER than RT. (iow, Atlantis, eat your heart out).And as a real bonus, the ability to import rendered files in Avid WITH TIMECODE AND REELNAME (and other metadata if needed)
for the bad news, this won’t be a freebee…

well, I’ll say it again. If Avid would have concentrated on scooping up dudes like you, they wouldn’t be looking at what they are lookin’ at right now.
I like the way you think, man. We could spend forever waiting on tools to catch up to us. -

you rule, man.
I was using macros a decade ago with the now dead and gone NighSuite. Loved em.
now, I can get some macro usage from you and use em on my soon to be dead and gone Avid.
you coo, man
