[Avid-L2] Option + click in segment mode

 

In poking around looking for a way to drag, duplicate and snap I came
across another command I didn't know existed.

In segment mode, option + clicking on a segment will select the clip
PLUS any sync sound without being in "linked" mode (which I generally
leave off), helpful to all the draggers out there.

Speaking of segment mode - with a clip selected, the trim keys will
move the segments around in increments (instead of mousing/dragging
them.) I find that a fast way to work when I need to adjust something
just a few frames - like a sound effect.

Re: [Avid-L2] Yosemite Ok with MC?

 

It works.

I've had quirks - still have them, but it looks like I'm either the only one, or my setup is too niche:

Re: [Avid-L2] can't open Composer

 

Had the exact same thing happen to me two days ago, and was about to post... but glad to see you figured it out already!

I think this has beed addressed but I am only able to upgrade to OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 as I am at 10.8.5 and can not move up slowly. So is 10.10.5 playing nice with MC 8.4.1? Are there any issues going on? I hate to upgrade at this time but I want to do it when MC is working with the current OS.

Re: [Avid-L2] Alt + segment copy but no snap? Solution?

 


Actually, you were both right. ALT-CMD-C (or ALT-CTRL-C on PC) does copy and load into source monitor.

Alt-C works with the default 'copy to clipboard' button mapped to the C key. If not, ALT-CMD-C still invokes the OS's alt-copy shortcut.

Works for me - let's tell the people who write the code.

I'm tidying up a timeline (I do a lot of online) so I'm just moving
clips vertically up and down tracks or sorting captions.

Example from the other day is a sequence being prepped to go through to
Baselight for a grade. I make a timeline with everything the colourist
needs simplified on V1 moving all effects, gfx etc up to a higher track
ready for when the grade comes back to me. The EOP/BOP bumpers are full
screen graphics which I want to have up on V6 so I know where they are
but I also want the colourist to have them rather than a black screen.
So I want to copy the bumper clip from V1 up to V6 rather than moving
it. Alt+segment drag is fractionally quicker for me than the alt-c
method in this case (and a little more intuitive when I'm working with
the timeline without worrying about the editorial context of the clips)
but if I can't snap the clip to vertical movement only then it doesn't
really help. Same goes for duping a caption over to an in point I've set
later in the cut for a quick template workflow.

Seems Avid could add a new modifier combo which enables copy and snap
but I wanted to check there wasn't one already that I hadn't found!

Thanks for the answers guys :)

Good find, Dan, I have been wondering about this for a while and glad to find that a solution exists.

On the mac, shift + option + command and drag will duplicate a clip vertically on the timeline. I didn't realize that existed. Is that what Paul is looking for?
