you could always use “a” or “s”. Go to prev/Next edit. Only prob is that it will go to ANY edit so you find your self doing a lot of tapping.
You know I didn’t realize how much I missed that option in AVID until you brought it up. 🙂

hmmm i must be going mad. alright…thanks
I will let my fingers know.

My suggestion is to pick a discipline first. Either AE or FCP. They are different tools and require different artistry. Especially if you wish to make a career out of it.
Dont get me wrong, as an editor it is good for me to know AE and I do, but I am an offline editor first and I dont bill myself out as an efx guy.
So find which one you love first by taking some introductory classes and than supplement it with the other.
Look at the Apple website for classes. They will list the Apple certified facilities in your area and than most likely those facilities with teach Adobe stuff as well.
Here is a big one on the West Coast https://www.weynand.com/wt/
they may teach out in your area as well.good luck!

I think I know what you mean. The prob is/was in AVID we directed the playhead by clicking anywhere in the timeline. So You could click OR cntrl click in the timeline and get to a specific place.
In FCP you direct the playhead by clicking the top TC bar. It does not know your edit points as the timeline does so precision by clicking is lost.
Dont know if that helps….

Thanks for the link Michael, appreciate it.

You may be getting this because when you bring them over you have the column “name” select or ANY column with info selected. This may be causes them to then sort by that order.
If you create a column with NO INFO in it than drag the clips over to the empty bin they may keep their seq order.
just one thought.
-
control click on the clip in the seq. Select Remove attributes. Then deselect “distort”.
i find 1440 x 1080 to be a bit funky. If it is filling screen and looks “squished” then the above may solve the prob.
good luck

Yes…for production it may be more preferable but aesthetically it is not that it was I was referring to. I find delivering an HD and SD letterbox to better.
And Andy is right…sorry to confuse things….I did not mean 100% scale…I was just referring to “fill frame”. % wise it is closer to 40% but that all depends on your initial HD aspect ratio.
However all that aside, Jenna do find out from both your client and where it will be broadcasted if they want a “center cut” or letter box for the SD vers of this HD spot. They will produce different results.

Seems like an easy piece of code to write.
What I was looking for was the ability to slide two keyframes together
so that the duration stays the same. Like AE.sounds like I am out of luck.
thanks

Not sure where you are getting losing your 40% loss Michael.
Yes definitely find out what the specs are from the broadcaster.
I am cutting a spot now that is an HD finish but client wants to preserve for 4:3 because one broadcaster, ESPN, will not take two masters, an HD and a SD letter box. So we are making sure our HD is center safe because ESPN will just center cut it. Doable but not preferable.
But Rob Grauer is right. If you take your HD cut drop it into a 4:3 seq it will automatically letterbox it. 4:3 Done. If you want it center cut the bring it back to 100%.
