    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
    Liam

    First of all, if they are in audio tracks, make sure the unnecessary edit is white and not red. Red means there is a change of some sort between the two sides of the cut. Otherwise, the easiest way to remove unnecessary edits is to highlight the tracks you have unwanted edits on, set an in point at the head of the sequences and an out at the end. Then, under the Edit menu (I think that’s it, I’m not in front of the Avid right now) selects remove unwanted cuts or edits (I forget the exact wording). There are other ways to remove unnecessary edits, but only for one clips at a time.

    OK, now I’m in front of my Avid and I can correct my previous answer and tell you to go under the clip menue and select Remove Match Frame Edits.
