[Lance Bachelder] “Resolve seems to suit me better as it’s has a traditional source/record workflow”
I bet Pr is happy that Resolve didn’t come out 3 years ago when X first came out and people started wondering what they would do.
They are in a better spot now. I think folks have had time to go to Pr and get settle in.

[Lance Bachelder] “More Oscar and BAFTA winning shows than any NLE next to Avid.
“I’m fascinated by this Lance. Are you surprised by the gap between folks that (I guess use this in LA for films) and the user base outside of LA?
I don’t know of one production house or editor in my town that uses Lightworks.
I don’t know that I had even heard of it until I started following this forum.
What do you think accounts for that user gap? -
hehehehe : p

[Atilio Menéndez] “Expanding audio or expanding audio components is different in this sense and I still think it’s a better practice if you want to keep stuff in sync, but anyone is free to edit how he/she wants. “
We agree actually. the way I would do this would be to expand the audio components, range the cough out
attach room tone as cc with and adjust using the fade handles. That was my original suggestion.He didn’t like that so I offered up another option.
As far as I know, you can not cut into the audio channels in the expand mode (which is what he wanted to do)
But when you break apart clip items you can cut into it. that’s the only reason I suggested that. It wouldn’t be how I would do it. I just offered him that as another option.
If you were worried about that coming out of sync just turn it into a compound clip after your cut in.
Again, not how I would handle it.

Well done
I watched it a couple of times : )

[Atilio Menéndez] “[tony west] “That was not the argument, if you could do it in ONE STEP or not.”
That IS the argument!”
OK, pick that line out of the sentence
“Sorry, while i’m still beating my drum about overwrite editing, it does also seem really strange that you can’t overwrite paste into the main storyline.”
[Atilio Menéndez] “What’s relevant is that with both the audio can then be moved independently from the video and thus be bumped out of sync,”
Yeah, if you are not that familiar with the program it can be. You can knock stuff out of sync in any program.
You are still wrong, you said they were the same and they are not.
[Atilio Menéndez] “there are situations when I would like to have them.”
That’s fine, it’s not a big deal to me. I don’t mind if they put them in.
All I can say is, if you are knocking things out of sync a lot in a program like X I don’t know what to tell you brother

You sound a lot like me Richard. No pun intended ; )

[Atilio Menéndez] “There is no way to IN ONE STEP overwrite “
That was not the argument, if you could do it in ONE STEP or not. Folks were saying you couldn’t do it at all.
I showed how you could.There are some things in X that might take more key strokes but there more that take less for the tasks that I use most often. I will take being able to quickly swap whole sections around myself.
[Atilio Menéndez] “If you care about the audio and video of a clip staying in sync, then it’s better to NOT detach audio or break apart clip components. “
I never have a problem with things coming out of sync in X
I don’t need sync markers to tell if something is out of sync. I could tell by looking at it. It just never happens to me anyway, maybe I just have the program down in that sense.
It’s kind of odd to me to complain about sync in X and not complain about sync in other NLEs when You really have to work hard in X to put anything out of sync.
I just don’t see people on here complaining that they keep putting things out of sync.
[Atilio Menéndez] “detach or break apart (which are virtually the same)”
They are not the same, one lays out all the channels of audio and one doesn’t. I was hoping the pictures would help show the differences.
[Atilio Menéndez] “I still think there should be a quick way to lock connected clips in place, but it’s really not a big deal if you don’t detach everything.”
It’s not a big deal for me if I break things apart anyway.
-
I still think there must be some confusion on the terms. Maybe some pictures would help.
This is what expand audio components looks like.
This is what detach audio looks like (I almost never use this)
And this is break apart clip items. This looks just like most NLEs that have tracks. anybody could just work in this mode if they wanted. It’s not gonna come out of sync even if I pick up that video clip and drag it down the timeline. That audio will go right with it.
Now, the guy wanted to cover a cough with room tone. You could just cut that right in there in this mode. I still would do it the first way I described, because if you just cut some room tone in it may sound cut in, but that’s just me.

[Joshua Pearson] ” i was trying to say i want to simply “cut a piece of room tone directly into the audio of an interview clip”
And you don’t want to just select “break apart clip items” and do it that way?
I don’t know, it seems like what you are trying to do wouldn’t take me all that long to do. I must be missing it.
I will leave you to it.
