| Hi Rainer, Thanks for your quick response. Interestingly enough, when I started doing dailies for this project months ago, I sunk up the separate video and audio on the FCP
timeline. Then linked the video and audio together under modify and dragged the merged clips into a bin. This worked until the editor started editing and using the dynamic trim function. The FCP would get confused because the audio was longer duration than the video clip. I then learned that I had to double clip the linked video and audio from the timeline into the viewer and make a subclip (com + u) to browser bin. This then truncated and squared off the video and audio making them both the same duration. The editor could then use the dynamic trim function. In the Avid, this is easily done for you, but in FCP it takes several steps to sync up these dailies.
I would welcome you or anybody else to make this procedure more efficient. I encourage you to write an application that would fix this, however, I don't have any budget. I have already completed dailies for this project, but future projects it would be useful. It
would only strengthen the FCP vs Avid debate toward FCP. This should be fixed in future versions of FCP.
At the moment, I'm trying to create an audio database, so that I can hand the sound over to sound editors to do their craftwork. |
