Watched the little instructional clip. Very useful. Thanks.

Thanks. I have resolved quite a few of these issues now. working my way through a list of functions that I need to have down to use this package!

Hello Chums,

I am new to Avid but I cut for broadcast on FCPX & Premier. Mainly news/factual/docs & corporates.

I am now doing more & more editing and I have clients asking for AVID so I am trying to get up to speed with it asap. The good news is that I have managed to recreate part of an edit I delivered a couple of months ago on FCPX. The bad news…

OK, Marking my own home work here…

Disabling some noise reduction plugins seems to have fixed the issue.

Onwards….

I seem to have plateaued with premier again and it has crashed 5 times on me today .

I am working on a short film…so I don;t have too much data. Done the usual housekeeping and I am now downloading the update.

To date PP has been far more stable than I remember 3+ years ago. Is it me or is it the machine…?

[I have just updated the software and…

Thanks Matt.

It is a bit confusing to see an output gain meter showing 0db and then be able to slide the gain up to +18db.

I am back cutting in PP for the next month having been away on FCPX for about 3 years…and I seem to have forgotten where some of the knobs & button are.

One of my fav effects plugins is/was the multiband compressor. It is a great way to mash a track to Broadcast standards etc. I am currently laying back VO from some dubs and doing a mix for…

Annie where are you based? I have a version of FCP7 and an old startup disk for this sort of thing..

Thanks for these replies. I am probably going to explore the Logi option.

I have a series of 6 new films I am working on whihc we are dubbing into about 12 language versions. The system that I have set up in FCPX has been fine, to a point, but I really need all the stem to hand and all the mixes from the film editor so i can make tweaks more easily.

This is useful tip. Thanks

Roles are OK, but not the same as track based edit when dubbing where you can apply a single tweak to an entire track. Easy enough to copy & paste a tweak from one clip to the next using Roles, but on a long project, this can be irksome…

Role can also get pretty messy – Audio lanes help, but it would be good to be able to export easily to edit in…

That’s a clever trick…sorry for the late reply, I have been busy…!

I have been editing, dubbing/mixing audio on dozens of versions of some 1 minute animations. And while FCPX ha been great, I am hankering for a classic track based edit system more an more on this project. Simple things in PP such as being able to alter individual audio track…

Yes, but i am not sure role will separate out in video in the way they do for audio? using Audio roles & lanes for a dub right now and it works really well – though I thin it still has limitations. Would be nice to be able to add an effect to an entire lane (eg to EQ one voice or apply a filter) without just copying and pasting fx from clip to…

Sorry for the delayed reply…never really figured this out BTW. I can successfully Keyword multiple projects but cant see how to tag multiple projects so that they are all tagged when I want to export (“Share”) the project.

I have been cutting on FCPX for the past 3 years and while I hated it at first, I really like it now.

But, I am struggling with an approach for subtitles (not using iTT or SRT subs) that will allow me to avoid an utterly messy timeline.

Audio lanes are very handy when you’re dubbing audio, it would be great to be able to have a similar tool for…

Yes I tried that…

Ah…just figured out how to add Keywords to multiple projects (handy…!), but these do not see to show up as ‘tags’ in the info panel when I am trying to Share the clips . Copying and pasting the tags is easy enough, but when i have 20 films to spit out it is better to be able to automate this…

Thanks for any help.

Meta is not something I have really paid much attention to although I know that is what FCPX is supposed to be good at.

At the moment I am changing the Tags for each film as I ‘share’ them. Will the Keyword editor do this for me?

Hello Chums,

Hopefully this is an easy one…

I have a series of similar films that I am laying in different voiceover language versions for. I want to be able to tag them all with the same keywords so that I need to spend less time tagging each film. I am currently copying and pasting key words from from a text file into the ‘tags’ field, but I’d…

Hi All,

Am re-versioning a number of short animations for a development agency client into several different local African languages. All the VO versions have been recorded and inevitably there are a few issues to work through a) with audio quality pops/clicks/over modding (which I can mostly fix but also b) with retiming.

Some of the voiceover…
