Dear Brendan,
Working at home, I also encounter 5D workflow issues and would be most happy if you would extend your offer of sending your AMA workflow for tapeless footage to me as well !
N.B. I am working with MC 5.0.3 on a 2006 2x dual 3 Ghz Mac Pro 1,1 with a Mojo Dx.
My e-mail is edit.room@free.fr
Many thanks.

There is an advantage to using dissolves though :
when you come back to it to change duration, you immediately see the length of the effect
whereas calling up fade effect dialogue box displays latest used fade in and fade out durations
but not the particular durations for the fade effect you are on…
(the sentence is a little complicated, hope I am clear)
I find this little detail to be a real nuisance.
Don’t you all ?

Could someone tell me what ‘kewl meng’ means ?

I’ve had the corrupt trim left button for a while too.
I’ve even tried a total clean install of MC.
And yes, I am on a mac…
And I’d sure love to see it go !
Not certain I have BCC installed as I never use it
but I’ll check as soon as I get back from vacation.

Isn’t there someone somewhere who managed to get rid of this ?

April 21, 2011 at 7:00 pm in reply to: renaming clips

I personally prefer to

• create a user column in text view which I call ORIGINAL NAME or something like that
– note caps to easily distinguish from AVID preset columns…
• then I click on ‘Name’ to activate all the clip names as imported in the case you describe
• and finally press ‘command D’ to duplicate the clips names into whichever column I whish
– in this case ‘ORIGINAL NAME’
Then you will be free to rename all the imported clips while keeping trace of its first name.

I prefer this method to creating subclips as I use subclips for other purposes…

This very simple example demonstrates in my opinion the overwhelming superiority of MC over FCP regarding bin management…
I don’t say MC is perfect, far from that, but the ease with which one can create as many columns and
bin views one requires and the save them and switch in between them is not, alas, paralleled in FCP.
