Hi,please, can someone explain step to step how to use this new Avid 8 "Alternate Edit" button?All I can find in the web is:"Alternate Edit—Cycle through pre-selected alternate shots within a story to decide which works best in context, or to repackage news stories instantly. Provides one-button previewing and overwriting of a selected clip in a sequence with any other pre-selected clips. Each time the button is pressed, a clip in the Alternate Edits bin replaces the clip where the position indicator is located."and:"Using Alternate Edit mode allows you to overwrite a selected clip in a sequence with several clips located in a special bin called Alternate Edits. To do this, you place the position indicator on a clip in the Timeline and click the Alternate Edit button. Each Alternate Edit replaces the clip where the position indicator is located with a clip from the Alternate Edits bin.".But I don't understand how to create this special "Alternate edits bin!". So I'd like to have a good and exhaustive explanation to how to use this function! Thanks
Hi Jacopo,
Not sure if this will help you.
Hi Ralph,

Thank you for helping me!
Greetings!

Cool! I'm glad that I could help.
This soooooo is not working. Does it only work for one clip at a time? I ask because I work in animation so numerous boards may end up in a shot or sequence. I created both a subsequence and a subclip and performed different edits on each. they are in the folder called Alternate Edits. i have mapped the Edit Review and Alternate Edit buttons to my keyboard. All the Edit Review button seems to do is start playing my timeline. When I click the Alternate Edit button, I get the error message that there is insufficient source material to make this edit. I've tried putting in an out marks on the timeline. No deal. Put in and out marks at the heads and tails of my "alternate edit" sequences. No deal. Oh, and the link for Riviewing Trim Edits in your post doesn't work -- thought maybe there was something in there that might show me what i'm missing. I have only been successful at making it drop the clip in at the top of my timeline -- instead of where I wanted it. And, if there are two clips in the Alternate Edits bin, it will only do the first one over and over and over again.
