Re: [Avid-L2] How do you stop Avid adding new audio tracks?

Glad it was useful! I have your book on my desk - learned quite a few things from it, and I've been on Avid for about a decade now.

There is one caveat regarding "Find in Bin" from the timeline. If you are on an EditShare and Option/Alt+Find in Bin from the timeline and that bin isn't already open it will open the bin but the bin will be locked, even if no one else has ownership.. I assume it's a bug and not a feature - I haven't sent it to Avid yet. I'd be interested if someone on an Avid shared storage system could check if they're seeing the same behavior. It may be specific to EditShare.

This is a cool tip, Michael and one I didn't know. I have now mapped the option-functionality of Find Bin to my Shift-F key. The one strange thing is that it doesn't load the clip into the Source window - which I guess makes sense. I am either actually trying to use Match frame for some purpose OR I'm simply trying to find the other clips AROUND that clip in the timeline. For one I should use match frame and for the other I should option-Find Bin.

Thanks. Love learning something new. Like Nick said, you never know what you've been missing for 22 years on the same interface... or simply forgot.

One of the stories I mention in my book is that a few years ago, when I was cleaning out my basement, I came across my old folder for the MC101 class, from 1992 (the original version 5). I read a great tip that I'd written in the margin of one of the pages that I SWEAR I'd never known before, yet there it was written in my own handwriting in the margin of the page. (Can't remember the tip now either).
