Sorry - not sitting in front of my Avid right now, but if it's the same problem I had recently you can solve it by changing the render options from 8 bit to 16 bit.

To keep your motion predictable in Pan & Zoom, make sure that your Path is set to Linear, and then use the 'Velocity' options to control how Pan & Zoom treats each keyframe. The Path setting applies globally to the whole effect, and the Velocity option can be set for each individual keyframe. If your Pan & Zoom seems to weave like

One way of doing the 'Pleasantville' effect where you leave a single colour while the rest of the frame is made black & white:

Yes - we've got one working fine as a DV25 media drive. Very easy to setup and use. Transfer rate is only 20 Mbps - so it wouldn't work for any other format.

Right you are! Thanks.

Just wondering if anyone has seen this problem on MCA 2.7.5 on WinXP SP2. My Media Creation settings are set to OMF (and my digitized media happily goes straight to 'OMFI Mediafiles'), but when I import an audio track from CD, the audio gets stored as MXF media in 'Avid Mediafiles'. I can't see anything in the Import Settings that would affect this

If you're using a non-Avid keyboard, you can check the key assigments by clicking on the "Settings" tab on the project window, and then double-click on "Keyboard" *EDIT* D'Oh - just saw multiple posts to this effect before mine. (Slinking back to edit suite.....)

Autohotkey is excellent, and not just for Avid. Here's how to use it to automate opening frequently used bins .

Kenton's right - the easiest way to do this is to create a bin and copy the effect into that bin. If you want to re-use this bin across several projects, your best option is probably to create a 'Templates' Project that you can then get to from any of your other projects. I've included a link to another useful little tip that lets you save transition

@TVShrine Thanks - that fixes it.
