Re: [Avid-L2] What's the green dot?

 

Frameflex kicks in if MC detects anything that does not exactly match the project raster or frame rate. I have many old SD QT files that show up with odd aspect ratios, for instance (close, but not spot on).

I wonder why is FrameFlex is invoked. The digitized clip is 29.97 NTSC, captured from DV tape to QuickTime in Final Cut Pro years ago.I AMAed the material into MC 8.1.

I also made the unhappy discovery that MC isn't playing the audio and video in sync. This is a separate issue from the green dot. Or is it?

These indicate that FrameFlex is being used. I usually see these when I am editing footage that is a different frame rate from my project setting.

I haven't edited with Avid in a while, but I'm playing with the latest MC because I want to get my groove on again. I'm working in a 30i NTSC project with some DV captures of my editing reel. I cut a spot down in a sequence and I noticed these happy green dots on the timeline. They remind me of an effect indicator.

Thanks.
