Just saying: MC v4.0.2 is live now.

You won’t be able to capture in Avid without losing some material either. Sure, you can set a 1 sec preroll, but the Avid – like FCP – will stop at a TC break.

This is going to be extremely easy as soon as you can get your hands on MC4….

Are they absolutely sure they want to handle this at 29.97? The proper way to do it would be to work in 23.98, then playout the finished piece to 29.97.

Do the manual reconform. That way you can use newly synced clips in your new timeline. It’s a bore, but more foolproof than any other sort-of-automated way. Just my 2cts.

Pretty sure you should be able to drag the S/R monitor wider/larger, and the dual monitors should reappear.

But it makes a nice feature request. If you like the idea, you can support it on the Avid Forums.

Sorry, you can’t.

Well, here’s an idea:
As long as you use MXF files, your Avid MediaFiles folder will have a subfolder named “MXF”, which has at least one subfolder named “1”.
If you have a current project, and are starting a new one, you could simply rename the “1” folder to “PROJECTX.1”. Media will be available, and all new media is created in a new folder named “1”, which you could easily rename as well.
The downside is that – even though the Avid reads the folder – it won’t be able to write to it nor rebuild databases and such. Also, your Avid will keep rendering and writing to folders “1” and “2′.
ALternatively, on Windows, you could use the subst command, which allows you to designate a certain folder and make it appear as a (virtual) drive. I couldn’t find anything similar for Mac this quickly, but I suppose there should be either a Terminal command or some shareware utility that would allow you to create virtual drives.
And of course, there are applications like MediaMover, MediaSift, MacMediaSift and MDV, which allow you to filter Avid MediaFiles folders. That way, you can just work on, and separate out files later.

Why not install the Avid codecs on the FCP side, then export as Avid Uncompressed or DNxHD?
