[Derek Pugh] ” What I’ve been doing so far is making the camera groups, putting those into a sequence, and then just eyeballing the camtastia footage onto a separate track”
I would then go back to the slate, match frame the camtasia footage, which puts an in-point on the origonal, (you’ve still got the in-point on both the other cameras), and create a new group from those 3 clips. Slightly tedious, but it would then be much quicker to cut sequences from those groups.

One Editor, with quite a few assistants, dubbing editor, (with assistant) 1st Assistant, 2nd assistants, etc.

Put the 3 clips in one bin, highlight them, go to the BIN menu, group clips should be there.

I think it’s a problem most of us have experience to some extent.
I’ve found that combining different methods helps me.
For a time I used the Wacom tablet on Avid along with the mouse and keyboard, but where I am now that isn’t convenient.
I also trained myself to use the left hand for the mouse when I’m doing other processes than Avid (Left hand on the Avid doesn’t work for me very easily).
But mainly it’s been a matter of stretching the hands, arms and shoulders at frequent intervals.
My immediate advice would be to see an osteopath or chyropractor (rather than a physio-therapist) as soon as possible, they’ve got lots of very easy exercises and advice to help the body get back into a natural flow. -
Basically, I think you’re stuffed.
I think that with breaks in the shooting you can only work around it in 2 ways:
1, sync each camera to the continuous audio track and make a video mixdown. You can then group that with the other cameras as a group. That means though, that you won’t be able to re-connect for the on-line.
2, sync the 5 cameras on 5 different video tracks, but that won’t work as a group, and will be tedious switching the view from one video track to another.
Hopefully next time they’ll give you continous shooting on all the cameras! -
Hi Olly,
(I am not an accountant), but I would think that you should register immediately, write off that £1600 against your income, then,
if you don’t normally have many large purchases of equipment, register for the flat rate scheme as soon as you can.
I presume that you’re refering to England. While I was there, I only had travel expenses to claim for, and I was making an extra 10% on my invoices from that scheme.
Hopefully all your clients will be VAT registered, so if anything you’ll look more professional and established with VAT registration. -
In tahe Timecode Window you can display as many TC sources as you like. I don’t know what the limit is, but it’s certainly more than 5.
Bring up the TC Window, ctrl-click on the window, and ‘add line’. Click on the line and change the source. -
I appologise if I’ve got the wrong end of the stick, but I think that your school should be able to mark your project without expensive plug-ins.
I would have thought that it whould be the way you cut a project, not what someone else can create for your transitions that would matter. -
The only thing I miss from FCP is sub-frame audio editing – being able to fade up or down in less than a frame is a great advantage in dialogue editing.
Other than that, Avid is far easier and faster, (once you get your head around the different way of doing things),

2 possible ways to work around it:
If you put your previous shot onto a higher Video track, above the incoming tracked shot, and covered the incoming frames, the tracking information would not be changed, so the shot should work.
Second, nest the tracked shot, and try trimming that. (I haven’t tried that, but it could possible work).
Please let us know if that works.
