Yes there is. One way is to use a script which could process all of them at once. You can do it quick manually as well, though.

For the transitions: Select ALL of the events. Now drag the transition onto the first transition. That transition should now be on all of them.

For the aspect change: change ONE of the events correctly (preferably one that does not have any other effects on it). COPY that event. Select ALL of the other events, and then “Paste Event Attributes”.

Not considering the amount of time it saves. I can say that it has easily cut my editing time on multi-cam sections in half. So the question becomes… how much is your time worth? Most people say the plugin pays for itself in the first project. After that, it’s just gravy.

Look at Vol 2 #6 of my newsletter.

This file also has some good info related to that:

Do you have “Ignore Event Grouping” turned on? If yes, turn it off.

I bought a small wireless one that has a receiver that plugs into the usb port. It seems to work well. It’s smaller than the full size mouse and the reciever just snaps onto the bottom of the mouse when not in use.

[Frankie] “And if I want to close all the gaps left over between clips on the timeline how do I do it?”

Personally, I use the Gap/Overlap tool in Excalibur.

It’s all related to this section:
var dStart = evnt.Start + trimAmt;
var dLength = evnt.Length;

//Get current take offset
var tke = evnt.ActiveTake;
var tkeoffset = tke.Offset;
tkeoffset = tkeoffset + trimAmt;
evnt.Start = dStart;
tke.Offset = tkeoffset;

dLength = dLength – trimAmt – trimAmt;
evnt.Length = new Timecode(dLength);

For example, if you ONLY want to adjust the front, replace the original above with:
var dStart = evnt.Start + trimAmt;
var dLength = evnt.Length;

//Get current take offset
var tke = evnt.ActiveTake;
var tkeoffset = tke.Offset;
tkeoffset = tkeoffset + trimAmt;
evnt.Start = dStart;
tke.Offset = tkeoffset;

dLength = dLength – trimAmt;
evnt.Length = new Timecode(dLength);

Now if you ONLY want to trim the back, replace the original above with:
var dLength = evnt.Length;
dLength = dLength – trimAmt;
evnt.Length = new Timecode(dLength);

What preset did you use to render this to MPEG2?

Could still be an interlace issue. Have you tried adding “Reduce Interlace Flicker”?

It should not be “a few seconds early”. It should be within 1/2 second.
