What’s the difference in this timeline? (red and white markers on audio track)
Posted by Jason Brown on July 24, 2006 at 12:25 pmHere’s a link to an image I captured from my timeline…what is the difference between the red and white hash marks between the audio cuts?

July 24, 2006 at 2:16 pmWhite means you have a match frame edit with no adjustments. Red means you have a match frame edit with adjustments to one or the other side.
It likely means you may have changed the volume level on one of the clips.
The actual hash marks mean you have an edit in your clip, but you didn’t remove or add any frames, so the timecode is continuous in the clip.

The pics too small!!!
If its an edit point the white hash indicates that the two segments either side of the cut are at the same audio level. If the hash is red then the levels are different, i.e. +3Db before the cut and -1.5Db after.
If the hash is red on audio tracks you will not be able to use the command “remove match frame edit”.

July 26, 2006 at 10:44 amGreat…it did help, I am enlightened to the ways of my AVID now…thanks!
Maybe either of you could help with my question I asked earlier and never got a good explanation on…regarding audio and automation gain.
If I want to delete an audio clip that I have made using the *add edit* I have to select it with a segment mode (lift or splice) and hit delete, but I have to do that twice. I don’t have any keyframed audio or effects on the clip, just a regular clip…and I add edits, the hash marks are white…I select and delete…the hash marks turn red…then I have to select and delete again.
Is there a way to do this without having to do it twice?
