  • since the edit duration is only one frame?

    “The deck may be unable to perform this edit operation since the edit duration is only one frame.”
    I get this warning on certain clips I’m inserting when it is definately not only one frame. It happens to me at least once a month when laying back SDI to a digibeta using “Edit to Tape”. I haven’t figured out where the problem resides but I do know the problem will occur on specific clips within a sequence when it does not have this problem with “Edit to Tape” on other parts of the sequence. I have not figured out anything similar about these clips that have problems.

    This happens to me on the AJA Io, Kona2 & DecklinkHD
    I’m perplexed that this happens to us on three different cards for a period of time now but a Google search of this warning yeilded only one result of an unanswered post in this forum’s archive.

    It could be our Digibeta VTRs but then why is it clip specific & intermittant?

    I’ve found two workarounds that sometimes work:
    1. I can drag out my source In &/or out points effectively doing a larger insert.
    2. setting the outpoint on the destination (Edit to Tape) instead of an out on my sequence.

    Anyone have this problem?

    i have seen this before with my IO. i think it was a corrupted sequence — copying to a new one fixed it.

    I’ve just had the same issue inserting into an SR deck. Making the in point a couple of edits earlier seemed to help… or having the outpoint in the middle of a clip, rather than at a boundary.

    Google search reveals 2 posts, one from 2005 and one from 2006. So it can’t be that common a problem!
