Reply to Symphony Color Groups by Src Tape?

I think Neil wants you to select all the clips that should have the same tape name and use MODIFY to change the source to the same tape name. The result should appear in the “Tape” column in the Bin. You might need to refresh your sequence after completing the modify.

Neil is saying that just because the related clips already seem to have the same…

Reply to Can't open titles created in Title Tool on MC V8 in Titler+ on MC 2018

Short answer, probably not. If you right-click on the title in the timeline you should see a ‘promote to Titler+’ option. I tried a year or two most likely on MC 2020 and it only brought in the text from the original title. All the formatting, fonts, colors, etc. were lost. I hoped they would improve the promote feature over time but I haven’t…

Reply to Media Creation settings not project-dependent

Joseph, I don’t think it’s intended to be that way. Are you able to update your MC version? The latest version of 2018 is 2018.12.15.

If possible, test newer versions on a different computer to make sure they don’t cause any problems for your particular…

Reply to Avid dual reference monitor

Maciej, I think your plan will work. Avid is just sending one feed to the Ultrastudio. The Ultrastudio is giving you 2 different outputs. As long as both reference monitors can accept the same signal (frame rate, raster size, etc.) you should be fine. An HDMI splitter should also work fine although you might see a brief signal drop out on one…

Reply to Ripple Trim does not adjust markers!

In my experience Markers on video or audio tracks will stay locked to the frame where they are placed. For example if you mark a frame where you see or hear a handclap, the marker will always mark the the handclap. If you move that clip somewhere else in the sequence the marker will move along with it and still be on the handclap. The only…
