  • Unlocking tracks?

    Posted by Ross Hammond on February 21, 2007 at 11:09 am

    Hey people, I have an old Avid express which is limited to 8 video tracks and 8 audio tracks, I have been sent an omf with 12 video tracks so tracks 9 to 12 are all locked they appear but they are locked, I do not need these layers atall in the final project, is there a way I can delete the locked layers?. I have had a look around and can’t seem to figure it out :/ I hope you lovely people can help me out on this one.

    One remedy I have thought of is to not bother having the layers visible?, but will this be ok if the upper layers footage is offline? there is no way I can get the upper footage in as it does not exist anymore.

    Thanks in advance for any help 🙂

    probably misunderstanding the question but,
    why not just splice the omf without the unneeded tracks into a a new sequence and deal with that seq?

    could you mixdown some of the other tracks and make 4 more tracks available?
