Removing Edits
Hi All!
Well i have inherited a film project and am doing the film output from avid express pro and have come across a lot of needless edits in clips. I can’t seem to get rid of them the Avid help told me to go into trim mode on the edit and press delte which does nothing in the trim window or asks me if i’m sure i want to delete the selected tracks. Anyone know the real way to remove edits?
cheers

Select all tracks, mark a start and end on the entire sequence and select “remove match frame edits” from the either the clip or bin menu (I can’t remember which one).

Hey Michael thx for the quick response. It didn’t work unfortunately. Any ideas? This is very ridiculous!

Hmmmm the only way I can think of is what Michael suggested with the “Remove match frame edit’s” option. At the edit points are there two small lines connecting the two segments? If so are they white or red? If they are red then it means that the match frame edits can’t be removed. This is usually due to an effect, or something, applied to one of the segments. The only other suggestion I would have is to do lift out one of the segments and then do an Extend Edit on the remaining one to fill the hole.

poss reasons for not working…
any audio fx/gain/automation differances across matching clips will stop the edits from disappearing, or, adjacent clips with matching tape and timecode but from differant masterclips!(ie, someone going back to digitise extensions to clips etc and just adding them on rather than replacing whole clips)
if safe to do so lassoo the whole sequence and keeping hitting backspace until the sequence disappears then undo one step and then try to remove mastch frames… this will lose all automation/gains etc but won’t sole the second poss reason.

Thanks for all your help guys. Tried all the others suggestions but yeah most of the needless edits had fx on the clips don’t understand why they got split there was no alteration to the fx. I used the extend edit tool to fix it for now. cheers
