I don’t think you can set chapter markers in Quicktime.
Best bet is to just re-export.

Are you setting up your project differently? If you setup a project with a specific resolution and then import footage that doesn’t match that it will add those bars.
It is adding them to compensate for the aspect ratio.
What camera are you using, how are you ingesting it (Firewire?) and what project settings are you using?

At the bottom left of the timeline you’ll see a yellow arrow and a red arrow. Those are how you move things, the yellow arrow will splice the clip in where you drop it on top of another clip. The red arrow will override the current clip (Probably the style you are used to).
In order to cut the clip, you need to use the splice tool. I forget what its called exactly, but if you go to the fast menu below the video viewport, theres a fast menu button. Click that, and it’ll bring up a menu, in that menu is a button for cutting. (Sorry I cant be more help with this, if you google fast menu you’ll probably get a photo of it.)

I tried to change the audio rate but none worked.
Even if I change the audio rate to something other than 48k, it still tells me that the project edit rate is 24p and 48k.

So, from what I gather on their website, Avid Media Composer is meant for Offline editing and cannot do any high definition editing.. the $2,500 software only package is just for quick edits of SD footage.
Avid Media Composer Nitris is meant for online high definition editing and output, but costs a lot and you have to buy a turn key computer with the software.
Avid Media Composer Mojo is similar to Nitris but is meant for I/O of multiple formats. Also has to be bought with a turn key system.
Avid DS is meant for FX and Compositing (Similar to After Effects). Must be bought with a turn key system.
Avid Media Composer Symphony Nitris is meant as a mastering and finishing solution, also has to be bought as a turn key system.
Is all that right? How much does the software/hardware cost for Nitris or Mojo?
Is there any reason to purchase anything other than Symphony Nitris? It looks like that can do everything plus finish. If it can’t edit, then Nitris would be the next best thing to get for HD video editing, correct?
I can see why Final Cut is more popular for web videos, as you can buy the entire package for $2.5k out of the box without having multiple software to run through.
I definitely still want to work with Avid, just not sure where to start.. or end… or how much it all costs.
I was planning on building my own PC to run Avid, but it seems like I can’t/shouldn’t do that.. right?

Is that a seperate software or is it something inside of Premiere?
-
You wouldn’t happen to know how to do it in After Effects would you, I cant seem to figure out how to pull down my blacks and AE is where I do most of my Color Correcting.
I’m editing on Premiere Pro/Vegas Pro at the moment, but switching to FCP as soon as I can afford it.
-
David,
Thanks, that really helps! One thing though, the Waveform monitor that you used, was that in FCP or something else?
Also, I can’t seem to find the 3 way CC tutorial on his website, mind helping me out with a link?

Another example is this:
My Film: https://a648.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/82/l_b75634611e472b6622193196606b0cdf.jpg
Compared to Knocked Up: https://a105.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/23/l_99173f73939b470c4d0cc4d7bf534f98.jpg
The colors just look so much more vibrant, while the skin tones and whatnot arent blown out…

You could try Xvid or DivX convertor, or maybe look into the program “Super”, it’s free and can convert anything to just about anything.
If you don’t mind going to .mov, you could get Quicktime Pro and archive them to that using h.264, a 3 minute film of my was 11 GB as uncompressed avi, but 56 MB with h.264.
