Hi, David. I’m on a 2.8 GHz macbook pro with 16 gigs of ram. It’s the fastest macbook I could buy from Apple at time of purchase. Adding to my situation, I have already synced all my footage in Arri 2K and Red 5K. I did a transcode and relink test and the 1920×1080 ProRes LT proxies linked up, but came back small in the source monitor. They played very smoothly, but I couldn’t figure out how to rescale them on the source side. Basically, I want to cut through footage like a hot knife through butter. I could edit natively on my system, but I really want to be able to motor through the footage.

Thanks. I was adding master clip effects, but can’t figure out how to add a LUT to every shot in the bin all at once -I don’t want to open each one – one by one. I find adjust layers across the whole timeline to be a bit messy while editing.

Wow! Thanks Craig. That sure as heck isn’t obvious – bezier on opacity. I think a lot of people are going to miss that. It wasn’t even mentioned in Adobe’s latest classroom in a handbook.

Thanks, Craig. I actually have my keyboard set up for modified Avid settings (to maintain muscle memory across multiple platforms) so I zoom with command + [/] You can’t zoom in without selecting the timeline first though.

This is not an organisational problem, nor does the tilda key help in this case. Copy and paste prevents clicking and dragging things around, which eventually gives you carpal tunnel syndrome. As I said, if it is a very limited activity, then, yes – it’s no problem. However, if you need to do massive amounts of it, it can really wear down your wrist/finger/thumb. And the problem is only exacerbated when working on a laptop/track pad, which many of us have to do very often.

Hi,

Sorry to bug you again about this. I actually tried it shortly after you mentioned it. It opens the clip and I can shift sync, but then the change doesn’t appear to be saved and the clip is still out of sync.

Hi, Tero.

It may not appear awkward if you’re working on a small project and only have to do it once or twice, but imagine a project with hundreds of bins, thousands of clips (a feature film for example)…. opening bins all over the place to drag and drop becomes tedious. There’s a lot of opening and closing of bins and moving windows around and such. It could become a real nightmare. FCP 7’s way of handling this stuff is still the best of all the NLEs I’ve used.

Thanks, Alex.

I see “Media File Path”. It’s not quite as rock solid as having the original file name, as a path can change (and sometimes accidentally the original file name can be lost), but this is definitely good to know about.

OH MY LORD! You’re right! Thanks! That was driving me nuts. I must have had a mental block about selecting anywhere else! It works differently in other systems.

Thanks, Tero.

My problem is precisely that the playhead jumps to wherever you click. So if you park on a frame and then leave the timeline and then want to go back and soon in, you move the playhead. I want to remain parked on the precise frame I stopped on. Perhaps it is shift+3 I am looking for. I will try it. Hopefully, if I press shift_f3 then I can zoom in on the timeline without moving the playhead.
