December 11, 2009 at 8:32 pm in reply to: Move playhead to TC in record monitor works… sometimes?Hmm. That’s weird. No clue if this will work, but try matchframing the video that’s giving you trouble and cut it back in. Maybe there’s a corruption somewhere in the media on your timeline (but hopefully not the source file).

December 11, 2009 at 2:59 pm in reply to: DVCPRO HD footage NTSC to PAL Digital Conversion?If your system is able to run Media Composer 4 with an Adrenaline hooked to it, you can use Adrenaline for it. The mix and max frame rate functionality isn’t dependent on hardware–it’s all software. So you could run Media Composer software and still accomplish what you’re wanting to do.
What are your system specs? PC or Mac? Model number of computer? That will likely determine whether your system can still run Adrenaline with MC4.0.

[Edward Barton] “Copied the Avid Media Files folder over and the project file. They’re both now just sitting on my desktop but this obviously isn’t the place for them. “
The desktop is no good. Your media must go in the root of your drive, like this:
C:\Avid MediaFiles\MXF\1\media here
Now I wouldn’t suggest using the C: drive since that’s your system drive, but if it’s all you have then you’ll have to.
Just shut down Avid, put your media in the root of your media or system drive in the file path I typed above, and relaunch Avid. It should automatically find and relink everything.

For Media Composer 3.x and upwards you can map Select to Right, Select to Left, and Select In to Out to your keyboard. Check your command palette if you’re on MC 3.x or 4.x and you’ll find it.
To mark every segment on a track, mark and In and Out on the whole track and use Select In to Out, or set your playhead at the start and use Select Right, or at the end and use Select Left.

November 12, 2009 at 2:31 am in reply to: Media Composer v2.8 & Mojo SDI not workingAre you in an HD project? Mojo SDI only outputs SD. There’s no way to feed HDSDI out of it.
If you’re in an HD project, switch to the comparable SD project (if there is one) then try to output to your standard def SDI input or component input on your monitor. That’s really your only monitoring option when working with HD and an SDI Mojo. Realtime downconvert from an SD project.

November 4, 2009 at 10:55 pm in reply to: How the f@%^ can I delete audio mixer settings AND the clip out of my timeline in one “delete” key pressDon’t use segment mode. Instead use Mark Clip (default is T), then lift it out or cut it out. Two keystrokes and you don’t need the mouse.

Just copy the entire media folder from the root of one drive to the root of the other. For example:
Copy C:\Avid MediaFiles to M:\Avid MediaFiles
When you relaunch Avid it will find the new media and relink to your project. Edit away.

October 30, 2009 at 9:22 pm in reply to: way to flip clips before dropping them in timeline, working with footage shot with a red rock lens adapter[Job ter Burg] “Turning a broadcast monitor upside down will cause severe damages to the monitor. The power supply will probably unsolder itself, and if that doesn’t happen, the rest of the monitor is likely to fry because of wrong heat dispersion.”
I never considered that. Sounds like a cheap LCD would be the way to go then.
