I don’t think there is any other way, but to be sure, I’ve asked someone more likely to know this for sure.

Beware that pannings are set correct, though (if you import as monophonic).

Flabbergasted. I have never ever seen that blue thing in the Source monitor. Nor do I see it when I load an audio-only clip in a project with fresh user settings…

Likewise!

Press release says: “and support for ProRes playback and encoding on Windows”…

Do you have any I/O hardware attached?

You can either type or copy TC values into that column and then use it to AutoSync based on that TC value.

In most current situations, when timecode is used, both the camera and the sound recorder will record the same Time Of Day timecode, and then you can AutoSync using the Start TC value, and there’s no need to use AuxTC.

But imagine a situation where the camera is recording continous non-ToD timecode, but is recording a timecode signal on an audio channel. In that case, you can use Read Audio Timecode to read that channel and have MC feed the resulting value into the AuxTC column. If you then copy the ToD values from the sound’s StartTC into the AuxTC column, you can AutoSync using AuxTC.

Many more possible uses, of course.

You can import your old keyboard into your new settings.
Open MC with the new user active, go to Settings, choose File->Import Settings, choose your old user, select the settings you want to import (like Keyboard).
That said, going from 2018.x to any 2019 version, it would be best to fully rebuild.

[To use a phrase find, you probably need a script.]
The whole idea behind this feature is using it without anything like transcripts, as it indexes and searches phonetically.

When you do File-Import into your 23.976 project, you are converting the framerate during the import, which is not what you want.

When you do a File-Import into your 59.94 project, the footage will import at 59.94 and play back at 59.94, so no slowmotion.

Few options.

If you still have the imported clips in the 59.94 project, go into your 23.976 project, choose File-Open Bin, navigate to your 59.94 project, and open the bin. You can use the clips in your 23.976 project. If you add them to the timeline, they will have a Motion Adapter on them. This causes the clips to still play back at their normal realtime speed, but converted to 23.976fps. If you park on a Motion Adapter and open the Motion Effect Editor (under Tools), you can click ‘Promote’ in the Motion Effects Editor, and this allows you to change the playback speed.
OR: you select the clips in the bin, choose Clip-Source Settings, go to the Playback Rate tab, and change the setting from “clips’s frame rate” to “project’s frame rate”.

If you no longer have the clips you imported in the 59.94 project, it would probably be best to alt drag the source clips into a bin in the 23.976 project (or bring them in via File-Open-Source Browser). This links to the source clips rather than importing them. You can then select the clips and choose Clip-Source Settings-Playback Rate, and set the clips to slow motion playback. After that, you can transcode them into native Avid MXF mediafiles.
