Trim Tools… AGrrrrR

[Kevin Downer]

Hey Brett.

The problem is the blank space. If there is some space between clips, one cannot dynamic trim the blank to enlarge or reduce the space. It just does not work.

I think AVID treats it as black slug while FCP treats sees no way to show nothing to display in dynamic, so it won’t let one do it.

Give it a whirl and you’ll see what I mean.

AVID has it’s own share of issues but I think they really nailed the editorial assets of their software. FCP will get there soon (I hope).

Trim.

I’ve read Murch’s books and I still do not understand his fascination with the trim functions. As crucial as trimming seems to be to many Avid and FCP users, I’ve never used it. Never used the trim window in Media 100, either.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
