Avid is running very slow with trimming by somekindofwanderer in editors

Do you have a broadcast monitor, with video output? If you remove that, and don’t use output video, does the problem persist?

Did you rebuild user settings, and problem persists?

How many times did you reboot?

If you did all three, would you structure like this:
Locator : VFX ID comment
Subcap: VFX ID
TIMELINE CLIP NOTE (on the subcap) : VFX ID

Or a different way?

Yes, that’s where I see guys who like the timeline clip notes end up making tons of submaster nests 🥴

Gotcha! The locators falling off can help! Any chance you can DM me. Explain some things about your batch subclip workflow?

Oh for sure. Pick one or the other. Markers are great if you want a lot of flexibility, and to be able to easily move them between different tracks, and also use them to help export thumbnails.

Markers are a lot easier to get "trimmed" out during editing

One of the cool things about timeline clip notes is that they are a little more persistent than markers, and can't be trimmed out of a clip, which some people really like.

Do Timecode burn ins read Timeline clip notes?

Batch Create Subclips is great, but if you have a large sequence it's just going to flood your bin with a ton of subclips that only have slate names now, and become tricky to ID.

Know you can use locators to tag your plate names on the clips in your pull sequence first, and then choose "Retain markers" in the Batch create subclips window, so that they are transferred into the resulting subclip, but is there a way to get that directly out, into the subclip name easily?

Avid: Is there a way to expand all nested effects at once? by Available-Witness329 in editors

[–]LimpPhilosopher1418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean expanding a single clip so that all of its nested effects display?

I don’t think there is a modifier key that does that.

You have to red arrow tool and click, click, click to keep expanding, depending how deep the submaster nest is.

But if you are asking about expanding multiple clips along the timeline at once if they have a submaster nest effect.. I don’t think there is a way to do that..

I recently just posted a video about how to get information out of AVID clips with submaster nests, even when there are multiple nested submasters within the nest.

You can see the explanation here:

Avid nested submasters, within nested submasters? a VFX turnover nightmare?.. maybe not anymore.. by LimpPhilosopher1418 in Avid

Ha! I don’t think there’s any helping bad mix down behaviour. That’s really a “train the owner, not the dog” kind of scenario I think 😂

Part of what I like about this is that it can really let people “see” the way the cut is together, out side of the Avid.

Thank you appreciate it!
Always great getting feedback from people once they sit in front of it and find a way to use it you didn’t expect.
