Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Cine Deck does insert Edits? Somebody Pinch me

What is so hip about insert edits in a QT?

QT player itself can do it, and that has been the case for as long as i remember.

Trouble is nowadays, most transcoding software does not understand all the hip features a QT file can have, so you probably need to flatten the file before sending it away.

(That's basically a copy command with consolidation of redundant data)

A year and a half ago i made a small front end to do exactly this, it can insert a short video into a longer clip, based on common TC.

(If you export a portion of an Avid timeline, the TC will be from your inpoint, so this is a very fast way of making adjustments like replacing a title....)

"So I figure they should be able to do an insert edit into a quicktime if they put their minds to it."

I think there might be some Cine Deck pattens that might make that difficult, but I'm no lawyer. If it were so easy why doesn't KiPro do it? That was suggested to me by someone that after all this time KiPro should do it. I don't quite understand your workflow here. Do you end up with a single .mov that you can then do an insert edit into that will still end up being a single .mov file? That's what I see in Cine Deck. A tape deck replacement that records to a file I can hand to the network.

At the cheaper end you should go and check out Softron (at SL12216 apparently)

I've been playing around with their movie recorder to work as an ingest app.

I've had it ingesting (via BM Mini Recorder) onto my MBP internal SSD, editing that growing file via AMA in Avid and exporting in chunks that then playout using their playback software (and BM Mini Monitor). All on one MBP and internal SSD.

Now I'm sure this is not recommended by them and I did get *some* dropped frames, unsurprisingly - but I'm pretty sure they only dropped when I started doing some very stupid stuff.

I have done enough testing to know that I can record and edit that recording in Avid via AMA without dropping any frames, all on the same MBP. So very portable tight turnaround edit suite.

(It also works with PPro and FCPx.)

I also tried out the 'loop' record function - where it will overwrite a quicktime. So I figure they should be able to do an insert edit into a quicktime if they put their minds to it.
