Adobe Audition cannot write out an omf.
But shouldn’t I be able to do my audio tweaks in Audition, save as aif, reimport and then I guess somehow relink the video to the new aif? As long as I don’t cut out or add anything to the wave form the timing should stay the same.
Thanks

I needed to reconfigure my DSR 1800 settings (within Avid) because they went to default DV generic device after the 2.1.1 upgrade.
Thanks to a mvegas from the Avid forums.
Gotta love it when it works.

I am having the same problem.
It basically takes 3 to 5 times clicking the record button before the actual capture begins. This is with an in and out point set before capturing takes place.
Each time takes 30 seconds or so then the error message…Exception:Failed to find the preroll point on tape.
We just upgraded to MCA 2.1.1 on XP service pack 2
I did not have this problem before the upgrade (1.5.1)
I have tried with custom preroll checked and unchecked.
Thanks for any insight.

You could also try VBR(Varible Bit Rate) as oppossed to CBR(constant) but that’s probably what MichaelP meant by VFR.
If you are using PCM audio that takes up alot of space. You could try DolbyDigital(AC3) or MPEG1layer2.
I don’t know the nature of your project but you could have had three separate timelines with the three separate video files and instructed encore to play them one after another, this would have saved you the stiching together in TMPGenc.
Whatever works.

Some lessons learned:
I played with the resolutions (effect aperture) in the General settings…(720×480) and (720×486) and this had no effect that I could see.I could be wrong on this, but that’s my observation thus far.

I am convinced that I get the error message(see first post) when I try to do a Native cut with a sequence that has DV footage and Beta mixed thru-out. If the sequence just has Beta footage then I am prompted to trancode to DV resolution. If the footage, in the sequence, is all DV the system is happy. I guess we will be doing mostly component out for digital cuts, because we use alot of Beta footage mixed with DV, and I don’t like DV compression on BetaSP footage, although if there where only one or two shots of Beta then it might make sense to just capture that as DV 25 and digital cut thru iLink.
Thanks for the help
David.

I actually meant the Match Frame button on the source side below the viewer. I am quite sure that this is it’s default position. At closer inspection (when clicked) it will put the frame of my source viewer in the my NTSC monitor but doesn’t match to any frame on the timeline, of course that can be accomplishes by the reverse Match frame, which is quite handy.
And if I use the Match frame button in the hamburger—upper right above the record side, that does work.
Thanks again Carl

You are correct. Thank-you.
And I also learned that the in and out points that come up in the source clip of the matched frame are previous in and outs that were put on the clip before, NOT the in/outs that are currently on the timeline.
I am still curious why the actual Match frame button (when clicked on) seems to do nothing.
Thanks Again
