Have you tried to use the Levels effect?
or the Fast Colour Corrector?
Perhaps the auto will work.
I have in the past and continue to prefer to cut the problem area and add the effect to “fix” the problem area and then use cross dissolve to find the right transition of looks with the length and position of the dissolve to assist in the timing of when and how long the transition needs to be.

I think I understand your situation here.
Once you understand the methodology of moving clips video up a level or down a level and the audio doesn’t change with it, you realize how stupid is was in FCP as you might want to designate audio tracks for Dialog 1, Dialog 2, VO, SFX, MUSIC etc. Having a clip move on the video track and the audio moving also ruins any kind of smooth workflow with dedicated track types.
But to solve your workflow issue that you expect from FCP you can grab a clip and move it where you like, the hold the mouse down and hold the shift key down, now move the mouse to the opposing clip element (video or audio depending on which element you grabbed and moved with) and as the mouse moves over different tracks the opposing element will move to that new track.

Hi Phil,
Captured AVI files are most likely in DV codec which when edited in a DV sequence that matches the frame dimensions, frame rate and aspect ratio will not have any colour above it (red) = no render required.
XVID is not a standard preset so that would not be seen as a native editing codec and therefore will show as red = system MAY need to render to preview (playback).
Keep in mind that with PPro, just because there is a red line above a clip, it doesn’t necessarily mean it needs to be rendered to playback.
Rendering is only for Preview purposes in PPro and has no effect on export speeds/times.

I have no experience doing that, but I can’t stop you from looking 🙂

Hi Tom,
If you have the HDD space have you tried the uncompressed Preview setup?
It’s slightly faster to render I think as there is no “compression” to calculate.

What are your video files, the sequence settings?
I export mp4 H.264 files in HD at about 3MB/s (which would be approx 3000Kbps) upto 6MB/sec and the picture quality looks fantastic.
I think you could alter the mp4 extension to be mov and QT will still open it.

BluRay files are encrypted. It’s illegal to use these files directly from a BluRay Disc.
It’s not that m2ts is not supported, just not encrypted ones from BluRay – it works fine with files from a Camera that shoots in m2ts.

I am pretty sure he has a few very intense After Effects Compositions Dynamically Linked. That will make a huge difference to export times.
I have never had an 8:1 export ratio. If this was commonplace you would have seen PPro Editors complaining about this immediately!
I’d be keen to see if the project had the AE comps rendered out via AE (add that time it takes via AE – which can be sent to AME and rendered in the BG while continuing to edit in PPro) and then see what the export time is like from PPro when the DL comps are replaced with final exports.

G’day Phil,
AVI is a wrapper not a codec. AVI as with MOV can have a multitude of codecs inside the AVI or MOV wrapper. XVID is a codec that lives in an AVI wrapper.DV is either MOV on Mac capture or AVI on PC capture. WMV is windows media video as a codec and the extension suggests it is only for that codec.
Can you edit with the WMV at all? I’d work with it in a lower playback resolution to keep the original quality for final export.
Otherwise if you can get the WMV in but it’s too painful to edit with you can convert (export) from the source monitor or with AME.
Hope this help clarify some issues for you 🙂

Use the metadata panel to add comments to selected clips or subclips…
Anyone else with ideas.
I scan my footage at faster than RT by holding shift and tapping L key to speed up in small increments of speed. 🙂
