Confused by Track Selectors? - Part 2

drbgaijin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:33:04 GMT

I made this Tutorial as a follow up to the previous Tutorial, where I tried to explain the basics of Track Selectors.

This time I take things a step further and show the use of the 3 point edit when adding a second clip.

Confused by Track Selectors?

drbgaijin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:29:07 GMT

I made a Tutorial on Track Selectors a while back, but a recent Forum thread reminded me that there are newcomers arriving on Avid's shores all the time.
Those coming from NLEs that have a very different workspace, timeline and workflow from Media Composer's can find things very confusing at first.

So I decided to have a second attempt at clarifying things for just those newcomers.

Zooming in/out and dragging the Monitor Pictures

When you use the "Ctrl +L" and "Ctrl + K" shortcuts they can be applied to more than just the height of timeline tracks.

By accident I pressed "Ctrl + L" while my record monitor was active and was surprised at the result.

My new found knowledge is probably more useful when in Effect mode and using some function like AvidFX's Paint Tool.

Keyboard Mapping Suggestions - "Focus"

From time to time I will make a short Tutorial in which I will highlight some lesser known key that can be mapped to the keyboard.

This time it is the "Focus" key.

Go to Next/Previous Edit without entering the Trim Mode

drbgaijin — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:42:57 GMT

This topic keeps coming back again and again on the Forums, as newcomers arrive for the first time.

That gives me an excuse for making a short Tutorial on it.

Next time we see the question brought up there will be a Tutorial to refer to...............................

24 KeyBoard Shortcuts

drbgaijin — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:18:14 GMT

Some of these shortcuts have been featured in my earlier Tutorials others are making their first appearance.

I find that I need to refresh my memory as far as KeyBoard Shortcuts go.
It is so easy to forget them.
Especially if you don't use each one daily and if you are getting old, like me!

Hope you get your memory jogged too.

Regards,
Douglas

PS. This was done in MC 3.1.2. Starting from now, I will be using MC 4.0.2 in most of my new Tutorials

PPS. I mention a PDF document listing the shortcuts and their time on the timeline in the tutorial.
You can download the document from HERE.

Deleting a Clip - Revisited yet again!

drbgaijin — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 05:47:48 GMT

After uploading the "Deleting a Clip - Revisited" Tutorial I had a few enquiries as to why I used "CTRL X" rather than plain simple "X".

I started to reply to the enquiries and found it would be easier to make a follow up tutorial rather than explain in words only.

Here is the resulting explanation, as seen from my point of view.

Additional thoughts and explanations are more than welcome.

That Puzzling Extra Frame!

drbgaijin — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 12:29:24 GMT

After I migrated to Avid Media Composer, I spent about 4 weeks happily and unknowingly adding an extra frame to my clips!

It was really by accident that I discovered my error.

Here is an explanation of my error and why it was happening.

After you understand the error, the solution is simple.
