You really need a device called a “stereo phasemeter.” It is effectively an oscilloscope, or software representation of such, that show you the difference between the left and right channels of a two channel audio stream. If both channels are the same, you see a straight narrow line. If the audio is truly stereo, you see what some people call a “brillo pad” effect.
Here is an example based on a quick google search

60 MINUTES, which shoots mostly in HDXDCam50 color corrects and then outputs DNX145, which is then used in the timeline along with studio segments shot in DNX145. Final output is transcoded and FTPed into our Media Distribution Center at HDXDCam50 for broadcast. A good amount of the material we get is shot in less than ideal conditions and really pulled around to make a decent picture. So the process is doable.

If you are in the SCRIPT View mode, (mode with both thumbnails arranged vertically, and a large text box for each clip in the bin) first hit Ctrl-A to select all. Then you can hit HOME, to put the play head at the top of each clip. You can than MARK IN (using the I key), or MARK OUT ((O key). You can also navigate through all the selected clips using the 1, 2, 3, and 4 buttons (Move forward and backwards 1 and 10 frames). I have a text bin view with “Name,” “IN,” “OUT,” and “In-Out” columns which I pre-select before entering the SCRIPT View mode.

Nick and Brandon are indeed great guys. As someone who uses both EVS and Avid, they are often there with great solutions. But I’ve got to go with Shane and Richard on this. OP1a will “import,” but OP1Atom files just need to be dragged into the media folders, re-indexed, and then either by dragging database files into a bin or use of media tool, brought into a bin. Avid Transfer manager does this when teamed with EVS’s XTAccess to move media from EVS to Avid or from Avid to EVS while converting MXFs to the appropriate OP formatted wrapper.

Initially I saw this as a problem. However as time went on, I found the solution as Ricky pointed out. Mark an IN and and OUT surrounding the keyframaes you want to adjust, enable tracks as needed and they will all highlight when you select 1. You can also shift click to select or deselect. The new added bonus is that you can copy or cut and paste keyframes. The first keyframe you cut or copy will wind up on the Mark IN point of the highlighted track. Multiple tracks worth of keyframes can also be cut/copied and pasted as desired.
1 caveat. When audio keyframes are highlited (Pink) you will not see your normal “IN to OUT” highlighted in purple. Either deselect all the audio keyframes, or even quicker, click on the Timecode track and all will be deselected, returning the marked range to its normal highlighting.

Perhaps try Image stabilizing the background. BCC has an optical stabilizer which smooths motion rather than totally stabilizing it, so the larger motions get left in, but the shakes get smoothed out. Or if the background can remain motionless, use Avid’s Region stabilizer.

Actually, 01;01;59;28. Note the use of
semi colons to indicate dropframe.M. Scott Cole

Let me lay out a sequence of frames first
01:59:28 01:59:29 02:00:00 02:00:01 02:00:02 02:00:03
The dropped frames (I really should say timecode addresses, as actual video frames are never really dropped) are the bolded ones. So in a cadence in which we deal with boundaries that are measured in even frames such as :00, the prior or next frames that are even are 59:28 or 00:02, so those will always represent what we count as an even minute in lieu of the missing :00
