    Hi Peter, let us know when you find out.

    I don’t think there is a quick way of trimming, but if you mark in and out on the entire clip, then:
    either 1, match frame and replace the clip, or
    2, in the audio mixer drop down menu – remove pan and volumes on entire clip, then in the clip menu – remove match frame edits.

    I think it depends on what you want to achieve, who or why you want to talk to in the end.
    I think your best bet is to actually talk to people in the company you’re targeting.
    It’s a long-winded and painstaking way, but depends on personal and constant phone calls, not arbitrary facebook friends, e-mail lists, or linkedin contacts.
    Try the old method of finding the phone number of the company you want to approach, – phone them, you’ll talk to a receptionist (or ‘First Contact Executive’ as I’ve been told they’re called) – Talk to them.
    Ask them (usually her) who your should talk to, about what you want to talk about.
    Follow their advice!
    Job done!

    So I would assume that you have the video on 2 layers. You could apply 3d warp (from the Blend effects) to each clip to reduce the size and offset the video layers, to be able to see both pictures at once. That would keep the locators.

  • John got there just before me.
    As normal, just in time to be too late!

  • Hi Dan, try this:
    Step into the clip, you’ll have 3 video layers, the bottom one blank (I think). ignore that one. V3 and V2 are the fill layer and the key layer (I’m not in front of the Avid at the moment so can’t look to see which is which).
    Copy both layers separately to the clipboard, then paste them onto a timeline. (You may have to do a video mixdown). Make the appropriate speed change to both parts equally.
    Combine the two new parts onto a timeline, putting the fill onto V2 and the black and white (key) layer onto V3. Put a Matte Key effect onto the clip in V3 and you should be able to key through as before, but with a different speed on the clip.

    I totally agree with Glen, mix it as you hear it.
    One of the main problems of mixing in most edit suites is that you won’t hear the subtleties in the sound as you would in a dubbing theatre, ( the speakers, won’t be as good, the environment will be noisy, etc.) so if you add compression or limiters you won’t hear the difference, so will possibly add too much, which on a good sound system and speakers and environment will sound unreal. – Keep it simple.

    Yes, if you’ve accidentally hit Cmd L when the player window is active, then it would have that effect. As William says, hit Cmd K to zoom out.

    Try:
    Settings – Timeline – Display,
    try unclicking ‘Scroll while Playing’

    Most of the time I want the timeline to scroll, but sometimes the blue position bar vanishes when I’ve got a lot of video and audio tracks in the timeline.

  • Try using BCC Time – Temporal Blur. You’ll have to play around with the settings.
    If you don’t have BCC, try using strobe at say 5 frames on one layer, and say 3 frames on a layer above, and half mixing between the two.
