Try dropping the preset 'Trim to Fill' on to the clip after it's been promoted. Otherwise, move it to an empty video track and adjust the speed until it suits.
I guess that's my complaint. It would seem that implicit in asking for "fit to fill" one is asking to promote the motion adapter to a motion effect and to change the effect to the right speed to accomplish the fit to fill. Just seems like dopey programming not to just do it.Looking for a tip here - Once one has edited the clip in, opened the motion effect window, promoted the effect, what's the fastest way to accomplish the "fit to fill" (other than guestimating and adjusting)?D.On Fri, Nov 22, 2013, at 02:13 PM, tcurren@aol.com wrote:Until you "promote" the non native frame rate clip it is locked by Avid with the specific motion adapter they have chosen.

All knowing List,
Why is it that if one tries to do a "fit to fill" using media that is at
a non-native frame rate, the Avid rejects you with the message:
A motion control cannot be created from a clip with a non-native frame
rate. You must open a project matching this clip's frame rate to make a
motion control from it.
But if you edit the same clip into the same non-matching fps sequence
you can promote it to a Time Warp and change its speed?
Shouldn't the Avid be smart enough to figure out the "fit to fill"? It
is basically saying "Take these frames as indicated by the marks in the
source window and spread them between these two points in the sequence."
Is there something I'm missing here?

I was in that hotel room too. I have the alpha disk and many beta versions too.
That Top Gun demo blew me away. Of course the pictures were a half inch wide running at, I believe, seven frames a second.
My serial number was 001.
Unfortunately,I sold it years ago.

Montage possibly or EdiFlex
Those would both be the correct vintage... VHS/computer systems... You could stretch this to the CMX6000 I think
Later they had the videodisk based editing systems.

That is truly amazing. Back when I saw it, it was primarily for 30 second spots. We had one feature narrative client editor try to use it, and her experience was basically disastrous. Kudos to those pioneering filmmakers who made it work.

Not sure about Top Gun, but Full Metal Jacket, Sweet Liberty and Making Mr. Right were all cut on Montage. That won the 1987 Scientific and Engineering Academy Award for the "Montage Picture Processor".
