Hey there, pros. I first learned Avid on ExpressDV and got very accustomed to using the "S" hotkey to advance to the next edit & the "A" hotkey to move to the previous edit. End of story. I've been on Media Composer since version 5 and am now working on 8.9. One of the minor... (read more)

I'm helping a friend set up his avid project and it was unfortunately shot at multiple frame rates. I've only ever worked with 2 at most (usually the base frame rate and then something we'd be using for slowmo). Right now we have these different frame rates 23.97fps (what the director wants...

It would be a nice feature, if you are exporting for an xdcam disk, or other exports, with an option to limit the colors for tv-norms (with Presets). So the editor is safe, when he has to deliver to a tv-station. (read more)

It's limited, but does the job. I'll... (read more)

I can open the project from the Nexis and it shows all the bins and sequences, but all my media is... (read more)

Hi, I've been brought back on to a film as an assistant to do the impossible it would seem. I was linked to the film when it was in FCPX but then was not needed but I've been called back on to take on the migration of the FCPX project to Avid for a different editor. I understand that this is... (read more)

A little (but big) thing that is driving me nuts: I am logging several thousand clips to choose selects. The workflow is: 1)arrow-select clip in bin 2) Control-enter to open in source window (I"m on a mac) 3) Space bar to play and stop 4) Command-tilde ~ to toggle window to make the bin active again...

Hi, I have a series coming up at a production company where I can control the Nexis workspaces and not just let a facility take care of that side of things, so I'm considering how best to work with workspaces on Nexis and would appreciate any thoughts. I know it potentially makes sense to have workspaces... (read more)

Hi everyone, First time poster here. I'd appreciate some advice and thougts on a possible solution I'm investigating for a small production company.
