    i agree with some of the points, why cant we zoom while avid plays….or scroll ahead on the timeline, but other then that,everything else seems pointless.

    if you click on an avid bin once, it opens top left, if you double click it goes to wherever you want it to.

    also, i know prem pro conforms all audio when you dig, wich takes up alot of hard drive space, but when opening waveforms its fast, does FCP do that too? maybe thats why you got waveforms so fast, avid dostn do that, so its slower on building it.

    anyway, this fcp vs. avid thing is old news, just edit something.

  • the trick is, picking your background wisely.

    if there are cars passing trough, and people, then eventough the cam is locked off, when you fade your people in and out, whatever is behind them at the time will fade with them (Cars/ppl/whatever)
    so try the keep your background as clean as possible, an open field, a wall…stuff like that.

    i think you have to double click on your clip, so it expands, and put next the effect into it, and that way it wont effect the clips underneath it.

  • fully agreed. limitations put on by avid on their own products is bad news.
    even if you go ahead and pay for the mojo, it only gives you one stream of uncompressed SD, and no SDI input. but i’m sure its just a code, the systems could handle more then one stream.

    and even when you dish out mega dollars for the DS, and your trying to conform, welcome to a new interface, that looses so much info from the offline….stick to basic cuts/dissolves..might as well be onlining on a FCP.

  • if you wan’t extra buttons for xpress pro….just click on the hamburger menu between the 2 monitors..and drag….it becomes a floater..and you can custom assign whatever you want to those buttons…..you can even stretch it out to go right above your timline, and it will looklike you have 2 rows…only difference is it floats.
