A tradditional cause for flashing at an edit point was with interlace footage. To avoid it the outgoing and incoming fields need to sequenced correctly. From distant memory MC had / has a setting to force 8 field alignment. Sorry not near an Avid currently to check it. "force 8 field alignment" I found a MC 2018.12.15 not in use. In Composer

Do you need a macro for that? A suggested workaround for now Use Two simple KB shortcuts (Mark in and Mark out) (Or if you want the whole clip you can place your TPI over the clip instead of using marks) Press your KB shortcut for output to File " Output as File " SETUP your Output as File settings. Once only process Enter"File Name"

[quote user="David Yardley"]a painless way of doing this would be welcome.[/quote]My suggestion was for a quick (ish) workaround that help you now. Add marker F2 key. Edit marker name to one you want GFX file named as. Copy this NAME Use output still, as described in my earlier post KB short cut (for me F12) Paste this NAME into File Name

You can map a keyboard shortcut for Add Marker to quickly add location on your timeline you want stills from. Then Add KB short cuts for go to Next or Previous marke to your KBr. Open File , Export to file

To simplify naming issues I recommends starting projects in Resolve free. (unless you already have the studio version, recommended that would allow you to use a colour space transform FX. This effect lets you render proxy media converted from Log or raw to Rec 709, Rec 2020 etc for correct display in your MC project. Resolve does not bake any processing

I would suggest looking at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3NR0ROar8I. It could well show how easily you could have all the options you want at a relatively low cost in time and money. I am running a 15 key and a 32 StreamDecks with MC, Resolve and Illustrator (Titles). I have not yet gotten around to programming mouse clicking at workspace screen

[quote user="Philip Kapadia"]I would love to see this, my sidestation could be transcoding rushes for my next project, while I'm editing another one. Yeah I know I can do that in Media Encoder, but I don't want to deal with the faff of importing media through databases. [/quote] I do my media input using a second machine. See workflow

[quote user="gregzi"]Color grading now required by any kind of project, and it would be cool to do this inside MC without "roudndtrip". It would be much easy with tangent surtface.
