Hello, I'm trying to import an EDL into Avid however I can't get it to link up to any media, despite having the necessary media to do so. The clips in the timeline are also named diffrently to the timeline where the EDL came from, which I imagine is causing some of the hassel (Screenshot 1)?... (read more)

Hi, having a weird issue with my editor where audio tracks randomly disappear from the timeline within a sequence, my guess was that the tracks got deselected due to some setting or keyboard command but on the settings panel, track selector doesn't show the missing track.

I see that this was nearly three years ago, but figured maybe this would help. As of Avid 2022.12.2, matte keys still don't show up with their clip colors from the bin. BUT!

But if you apply *any* effect to the clip, even if... (read more)

Hello, I'm having an issue where during playback, the playhead will randomly jump back or forward on the timeline and stop. I've tried the various 'movement during play' options and that didn't work. I also increased the RAM allocation to over 150GB and that didn't help either... (read more)

Hey Folks, I am having a brain fade event today I suppose. I can't find the way to turn on timeline snapping in 2019.12. Somebody please point me to it. Multiple searches have provided no answer. Thanks, Robert (read more)

Another bug.....Everytime I duplicates sequence the timeline colours revert to a default (one that I can't find) and I have to reset all my time line clours, this is expcilly annoing in the audio section as to keep things split and easy to see it's handy to colour Diolouge, SFX and Music differntly...

I'm currently re-learning Media Composer using the MC 2019.6 (Mac) version on a 30 day trial. I'm coming from Premiere Pro, although I used to cut in MC4 a decade ago. I'm doing some Lynda tutorials with very basic functions: dragging clips from a Bin into a Timeline to make a stringout.... (read more)
