Bob, you shouldn’t have used pigeon-mail to contact me. The pigeon you had sent must have died crossing atlantic…))

Grzegorz,
You should choose “Save as…” and save file as self-contained movie. Thus you’ll get a flattened file.
Exporting = recompress. -
There’s certainly a better way to spend those hours))
Just to remind: it is not lightning fast. It’s not like you press cmd+s and ready to go. No. It’s more like taking a 20gig file and duplicating it.
I’m really interested if it works for you or not. Post the results, please. -
Correcting myself:
When doing video insert, no need to cmd+alt+shift+v. cmd+alt+v is quite enough)) Just mark IN. OUT seems to be unnecessary. And thus forget about Fit-to fill. -
[Grzegorz Kwiatkowski] “ok, insert edit doesn’t work but my life would be way easier if I could at least mux video stream with audio or swap audio in DNxHD file. Have u tried this?”
It’s hard to advice here as you want to swap audio in something you call “DNxHD file”, when DNxHD is a codec, not a container. But if you have DNxHD stream and audio wrapped into a “mov” file, then replacing audio is not a big deal. With no recompression, only re-wrap. Insert edits, by the way, also work. All you need is a Quicktime player (not X, of course, but a Pro version of QuickTime 7).
Let’s say you have a master file “File 1” which consists of video stream “v1” and audio stream “a1”. And you have a new audio file “Audio file” which consists of audio stream “a2” only. Open the “File 1” with Quicktime player, cmd+j, select “a1” audio stream, press delete. Now open “Audio file” with QuickTime player, cmd+a, cmd+c, switch back to the “File 1”, place the playhead at the beginning, cmd+alt+v. That’s it. Now you need to save it as a new self-contained moive: cmd+shift+s, enter the name, choose the destination and save. It takes time, comparable to the time of copying the file.
Insert edits are almost the same, but require more accuracy. First, render the corrected part of the movie as a separate “File 2”. Let’s say, it is 20 frames long. Open it with QuickTime, cmd+a, cmd+c. Open the “File 1”, place the playhead at the point where your insert should start, mark IN (i on the keyboard), place the playhead at the point where the insert ends and mark OUT (o)(it is very important to mark the exact duration you are going to insert (20 frames in our case). Otherwise it will be “Fit-to-fill”), cmd+alt+shift+v. That’s it. Now you need to save it as a new self-contained moive: cmd+shift+s, enter the name, choose the destination and save. It takes time, comparable to the time of copying the file ))
Hope that helps.

Bob? Are you there?

Here is the example:
Those 3 quicktime files are from 600D (or T3i). As you can see, they don’t have a continuous timecode, they all start at zero. But they have a Content Created time.
Giving them identical Camera Name and using this settings
results
They are spaced in time based on “timecode” (it’s accurate to seconds). Now you can copy-paste them wherever you need. Seems to be something you’re looking for:
[Jared Ewing] “Is there a way to create a compound clip that will add a gap in-between each DSLR clip so that they are spaced correctly?”

Have a look from about 12:00. May be that helps.

Hi, Peter.
Not sure if I got you right, but let’s try:
There is a button at the bottom left of the bin (looks like a bold = sign) where you can use the “Set Bin Display…” option to make rendered files visible in the bin. Then you can delete them. But those will be files, related to all the sequences in that bin. To delete render files from one particular sequence you should either place that sequence in a separate bin and display rendered files there, or, with that sequence selected and rendered files already displayed, use the “Select media relatives” option located at the same menu – bottom left of the bin.When deleting rendered media in Avid you should be careful because among those rendered files Avid displays mattes and titles with exactly the same icon (i.e. if you have imported a TGA or TIFF or any other file-sequence with alpha channel, they’ll go offline if you accidentely delete it). You need to identify and exclude them by hand.
Some Off-Topic:
I find rendered files management in Avid really weak because one day you may run out of space with no visual cause for that as Avid loses relation to those files easily: anyone can do the test – create a bin, create a new sequence, put a clip on the timeline, apply any effect, render. Turn on display of rendered files in the bin – you will see ONE rendered file that you can delete. Looks good by now. Now adjust the effect, render again – you still have ONE rendered file in the bin, while in fact you have created TWO. And the first rendered file is lost for Avid, but it exists as the real media in the Avid MediaFiles folder and takes valuable space.Wish you luck, Peter.

E-Mailed you, Bob.
