Re: [Avid-L2] Question about Group Clips -

Group clips work on multiple choices for how to sync. Are you sure you chose Mark In as a choice and not timecode or alt time code?

So I created a group clip - to do this I used mark-in points (I also had outs marked) and created a group clip from the BIN menu pull down. (NOTE - one source was a subclip that I created from of an ingested tape, the other source was media xfered from a xd-cam that came in as QT files) When I loaded this new Grp clip into the source monitor I noticed that the inpoint was way earlier than what I had marked. So I tried with no out points marked - got the same results.
