Hi Dan,
Do you have after effects? If so import the MPEG into there and render an audio only clip.

Hi,
The options you refer are two seperate things. The RT DNA/RT DV25/DV25 options refer to whether or not you are using the DNA box to output a signal, a firewire cable through the DNA box or just a direct firewire connection. The numbers available are 8 or 10. This is the RGB bit depth the theory of this is best taught through further reading (look for a book called the art and science of digital compositing), but essentially 10 bit gives a huge amount of additional variations of colour fro mwhat 8 bit offers, in fact the figure which i cannot recall off hand are surprisingly high for a 2bit per channel increase. Getting back to the issue of 8 or 10 for your digital cut, i could be wrong as im not much of a DV fan but unless your using a format like SX,Digibeta and DVC pro 50 your not going to get any benefit from 10 bit, and also you would need to be creating MXF media instead of OMF in the AVID to take advantage of the 1:1 10b option.
Hope that helps

Hey,
For good affordable sounds try http://www.audiolicense.net. Usually a couple of $’s for a decent sample.
However from what you’ve said it sounds like a job for foley!!!! i.e. making representative sounds yourself from everyday items, for example we cut a programme here with a scene in which the lead gets punched. We couldn’t find a good SFX anywhere so we got a mic and recorded one of us punching a cabbage, worked a treat.
Might well be worth a try, and its fun too!!

Hey
Good practices all round!
One other thing i do in addition is create a folder within the project folder, name it whatever (imports etc)and put in it any file used thats not on a reel, i.e. PSD’s, QT’s, audio files etc. Therefore when i backup the project folder everything is there, and thus will be there still when i restore a job. Also means i have the original files to manipulate.

LOL Debe, the dancing cow betrayed the tone of your text. I promise to read first then type in future.
What can i say must just be desperate to help out some fellow grazers!

Hey
Also to isolate/identify files from a project, go into AVID and type “RENAMEMEDIAFILES” in the console. It will rename all the media files to represent the corresponding name in the bin.

Andreas,
Dunno if this helps but after effects will render an uncompressed 1:1 QT if the file in AFX was a QT Ref. Assuming that you have the meridien codec installed.

Hey sorry Debe didn’t read your post before i posted mine.
My bad!

Hey
The pics too small!!!
If its an edit point the white hash indicates that the two segments either side of the cut are at the same audio level. If the hash is red then the levels are different, i.e. +3Db before the cut and -1.5Db after.
If the hash is red on audio tracks you will not be able to use the command “remove match frame edit”.
