  • My MCA is… alive?

    Alright, now my MCA is alive and making its own editing decisions!

    I batch-digitized a project with no handles. Hit play. “Exception: PMM_Insufficient Media”. (For those that don’t know, that’s the occasional qwerk where one or two clips in the sequence has a dissolve “Starting At Cut” at the end of it, but the batch-digitize function ignored it and thus only ingested the duration of the clip itself.)

    So being lazy, I deleted the dissolve rather than re-digitizing. Hit play. Wow – that part of the story is actually better told with a cut instead of a dissolve!

    Pretty soon it’s gonna want some of my coffee too.

    Relax Monkey! I am a fully functional HAL 2000 series MCA. Perhaps you should take a stress pill.

    Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do….

    PS – I take my coffee with cream and 2 lumps please.
