Edit Faster: 3 Timeline Features - Avid Media Composer Tutorial

[@TommySidorski]

Thank You! For making these tutorials, there are barely any out in the wild for media composer. You are a big help.

[@HansTheEditor]

Thank you, Tommy!

[@supershaneishere]

These are such a massive help. Also I like that you don't have ten minutes of waffle about the origins of AVID at the beginning. Thanks.

[@jorgelopez9620]

Awesome, I found this feature in Edius while editing news and fell in love with it. Perfect for cutting news footage fast.

[@vid828]

Love how well you light the shot of yourself when you're talking

[@claudiabTV]

Great tips, thank you! Always wondered what those functions did but never got around to researching them - will try them now, all clicks saved are priceless! ❤

[@cholocco2831]

These videos are seriously fantastic. Thanks for the helpful advice.

[@HansTheEditor]

Thanks Cholocco :-)

[@josephcampbell8265]

Interesting that you used 'mark clip' to set the out-point (at 0:58). That's clever (....instead of moving your playhead to the last frame of the clip, which I would have done). Thanks!

[@YvoVanScowen]

You are doing a great job! Thank you for the really helpful tutorials. 🙏

[@hamzashiban_1]

you're awesome! thanks Hans for all of your video tutorials, they are helping me as someone who is switching from Davinci and premiere to Avid especially as someone who is working towards becoming an assistant editor and hopefully an editor one day. It would be very helpful to have a video about shortcuts in Avid! keep up the good work

[@charles_bukowski129]

Grüße aus Deutschland, sofern Du noch in LA bist...Danke für Deine sehr hilfreichen Tipps! Chris

[@Jyotirmayshuva]

This video is so much helpful just mapped down the keyboard shortcut!

[@HansTheEditor]

Thank you, glad it helped!

Reverse Match frame also works from the timeline to a sequence loaded as source. Great if you've collected all shots from one bin into a long source sequence that you've loaded into source.

[@HansTheEditor]

Good point, thanks for mentioning this, Kåre!

[@arvvee1832]

Great vid! I didn't know about Reverse Match Frame. You explained how it works from the Preview Window, but what does if you click it from the Timeline?

[@leeschloss4840]

Regarding the 3rd tip (reverse match frame), something similar is "dupe detection", which is a very visual way of seeing what's been used.

[@juanlagos2125]

your tips are excellent. missing like using things like fill to fit among others. regards

[@SliwkaProductions]

Great tips 😎 Im starting with Avid and your channel helps me a lot 😀 BTW - what computer are you using right now for editing?

[@equipmentnazo6871]

Which version is he using? Free or pro? Pls answer me.

[@SliwkaProductions]

@@equipmentnazo6871 I think that he use paid version

[@HansTheEditor]

Thank you! I'm editing on a variety of computers, anything from HP Workstations to Mac Pros, whatever the production company is using.

[@fvl9316]

Great video! Would there be a way to extend a clip (making it longer) and rippling the clips behind it without going to the ripple mode?

[@HansTheEditor]

Thank you! I think pressing the 'u' key and using the trim mode is the fastest way.

[@prof.simonwright4194]

Thank you! Great tutorials... advanced trimming tutorial witth many tracks would be nice. :-)

[@aye1367]

How did you navigate through your timeline so fast? You were like going 5-10 frames to the left or right

[@Cherb2212]

In your "Command Palette" you can find at the "move" section the option to step forward or step backward 10 frames.

[@HansTheEditor]

It's by default on the 1 and 2 keys (I think either 8 or 10 frames, depending on the project frame rate).

[@aye1367]

@@HansTheEditor Thanks guys. Do you guys also get the problem that you run out of keys to use though? I also use Premiere and you can just bind keys to ALT so I never run into that problem. But with AVID I really don't have space for my shortcuts anymore :/

[@HansTheEditor]

You can bind most keys to the shift key in Media Composer. Have you tried that yet?

[@aye1367]

@@HansTheEditor Yeah I already do that. It's just that I like to keep everything on my left side of the keyboard. I'm thinking about using a macro like razer synapse to bind things to ALT or CTRL. Would that make problems?

[@equipmentnazo6871]

Hello Mr Hans, I'm a new subscriber. Which avid media composer do you use? The free version or the pro version?

[@HansTheEditor]

Hi, I'm using the pay version, however almost everything you see in my tutorials works in Media Composer First as well.

[@channaveerkerimath3864]

dude..I'm waiting for the tutorial on work or importing of png videos and photos 🤩😊

[@HansTheEditor]

Hi Channeveer, as I mentioned under your previous commend, unfortunately I'm not an expert on png files in Avid, so there is not much I could explain. Sorry!

[@waltsidorski6133]

Is the Avid keyboard mechanical?

[@HansTheEditor]

There is a link to my keyboard in the video description :-)

[@gowthameditwork2052]

I from India please put video about how to create Nest Sequence in AVID ...like Nest Sequence In premiere pro

[@HansTheEditor]

Thanks for the idea, I'll look into that.

[@okbelbab]

Hallo Hans, Vielen Dank für deine Tutorials. Hast du schon mal versucht mit Avid Media Composer auf Apple M1 zu arbeiten? Herzliche Grüße aus Katar, Ahmad Okbelbab

[@HansTheEditor]

Hi Ahmad, vielen Dank. Offiziell wird der M1 noch nicht unterstützt, daher habe ich es noch nicht ausprobiert. Wenn du diese Liste abonnierst, bekommst du email updates zu dem Thema: avid.secure.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Compatibility/macOS-Big-Sur-Support Viele Grüße zurück!
