Or if you don’t like that way, select the segment you want to copy in segment/overwrite (red arrow) mode. Then press CTRL+c to copy it, activate the track where you want it to go, and press CTRL+v to paste it.

good luck,

There are different types of AVI files. This explains it well:

Are you sure you’re not somehow accidentally creating an .avi file? There is a 2GB limit on them.

Hi,

Right click on your timeline and select Timeline Settings from the pop up menu. Under the Edit tab, deselect Default Snap-To Edit. That should do it.

good luck,

“Can anyone let me know what they do for deletion?”

We have 2 Adrenalines attached to a 1 terrabyte Unity. At any given time we have around 100 projects in various states of completion.

Once a week, we email a list of projects to our producers, and they tell us what is finished and can be deleted.

At this point, we delete projects using the media tool. We open a project to be deleted, open the media tool and select all drives, current project, and all media types.

When the tool displays the media, we select all and delete. After doing this for every project on the “delete” list, we exit Avid and move the deleted project files from the Avid Projects folder to a backup folder in case we ever need them again.

“Am I right in thinking the only way to actually delete those extra media files is by physically deleting them from the Unity Drive through Windows (the OMFI Files)?”

I’d suggest trying the media tool (assuming NewsCutter has one; it would probably be under the tools menu). Open the tool and in the right hand window is a list of projects. See if there are any listed that should’ve been deleted long ago. If so, select them and see what media was left behind, and delete it from there.

“Any suggestions to improve what we’re doing to delete?”

I’ve never used Media Manager, so I can’t really comment on your use of it. I like the media tool in Adrenaline, and haven’t had any trouble with it.

Hope that helped.

good luck,
Carl

Hi,

The effect you want is called “superimpose,” and you can find it in the “blend” category.

Hi Jeremy,

Check your render settings, and make sure it’s set to “Quality Set in Each Effect” rather than “Highest Quality.”

Hi Alex,

Is caps lock on or off? I think it has to be on for scrubbing to work.

I’ve heard, but do not know for certain, that you have to install the AE EMP plugin before you install Avid. That could be your problem.

good luck,
