  1. That previous tip also works while you're digitizing - hit your mark locator key and it will be added to the master clip you're ingesting
  2. From the obvious files: If you have 'mark locator' mapped to your keyboard, you can mark takes while you're recording guide voiceover
  3. @franmolloy Yep - I have some invites left. Might be best to follow me temporarily and DM me with your preferred email.
  4. @johndavey Very nice shot - HDR in that light looks particularly surreal.
  5. Lots of nice Aussie money on my Avid (for a competition spot) http://twitpic.com/p6dmy
  6. There's every other surfer in the world, and then there's this guy - http://bit.ly/1BARlH via @kottke
  7. I have more Wave invites if anyone still wants one... Send me a direct message with your preferred email and I'll send you one.
  8. @action_bohanson No probs. Enjoy the Wave...
  9. @toddzelin @taigmcnab I couldn't survive without Autohotkey on XP (sorta like scripts). See this link: http://bit.ly/1R4QLa
  10. @taigmcnab @toddzelin I work on Avid mainly on XP - does Avid not play nice with punctuation in bins on the Mac?
  11. ff Some post people you should know @marsandle @behindthecut @motionworks @hrldm @baklap2 @schnittman @jasondiamond @glenmontgomery @ywwg
  12. I hardly seem to use them - but it's worth remembering that you can also add folders and sort your bins into there.
  13. Bins with an exclamation mark at the start will always be at the top of the project window (I haven't tried other punctuation marks...)
  14. If you need to keep bins in a specific order in the project window, you can append a number to the start (i.e. "00 Final Cut", "06 Music")
  15. The first thing I do on any new Avid is increase the number of versions of a bin in the Attic to at least 25 (or more if you have the space)
  16. If you have a Unity in your life and you haven't shown it any love in the last few months - Optimize it NOW!!!
  17. If you haven't discovered ALT-T (Opt-T on the Mac), it marks in/out between the two closest cuts on any track near the position indicator
  18. Wave invites all gone
  19. A final few Wave invites left. Direct message me with your preferred email to get one. First in, first served.
  20. @jayfriesen Hang in there. The journey of a thousand trims begins with an assembly...
