Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Clip Colors Reappear Quandry?

Definitely something wrong with clip colors. I have sync clips that have
been color coded, but sometimes, when removing the color ("none"), the
picture part of the sync clip will keep its color, but the sound part of the
sync clip will not have the color.

But I fear the problem is bigger. Sometimes my clips will lose metadata. For
instance, I have a few bins open with organised sync clips and some
sequences. I open the media tool, and all the Camroll information will have
disappeared. If I first open a bin with all the master clips, then open the
media tool, all that metadata is still there.

Did not manage to create a reproducable scenario for this, so could not
supply tech support with enough info on it, but something's rotten with
metadata in v4.


Another error comes from the new feature of retaining dissolves when
dragging clips around the rimeline. Sometimes, not always, just sometimes,
when I cut away filler between two clips with fades, both fades are
remembered by the Avid and the track will be corrupt. In a zoomed out view,
the timeline looks fine. As soon as you zoom into the timeline, you will see
that this track is now out of sync by the amount of one of the fades. Takes
some time to find exactly which is the offending one, and especially nasty
if you have more than one.
