Avid – change speed of audio clip

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

Edit the clip  into the timeline.  Park the blue position indicator on it, and enable the tracks with the clip(s) on them.  Open AudioSuite (Tools>AudioSuite), and then select Time Compression/Expansion from the drop down menu.  In the effect editor, there’s a slider you can move back and forth to make the audio longer or shorter (not in front of a machine, so I can’t remember the exact name of it).  Render the effect and play it back and see how that sounds.  If it’s too fast or slow, adjust the slider to make it slower or faster.

good luck,

Avid – copy paste effects

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

Park on the clip that has the BCC Witness effect on it and open your Effect Editor. Drag the Effect Icon either directly from the effect editor to the next clip you want it on, or drag it to your bin to save it. If you drag it to your bin to save it, just drag it from the bin to the next clip(s) you want it on and it will apply.

If you have several nested, drag one to your bin, step in, drag the next one to your bin. Apply them to the next clips in the same order as they are on the first clip. Done!

Avid – EQ audio clip

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

Tools->EQ will give you a per-clip realtime EQ effect.

If you need to use the more elaborate AudioSuite EQ’s, you can choose Tools->AudioSuite, and apply any of the AudioSuite effects. You’ll need to render them, though.

You can copy it to the source window by marking it with in/out and hit alt + c. this creates a virtual subsequence that can be edited onto other tracks. Works with several tracks at once, also

Avid Match Frame

Friday, March 30th, 2012

remember match frame works on a hierarchy of video and audio tracks from top to bottom.
If you have 3 video tracks, and the V1 and V3 tracks are active, match frame will give you the footage on V3. If you wanted to match frame V1, you have to de-activate V3 and V2.

 

  1. Park the position indicator on the frame in the Timeline you want to match.  (Make sure the appropriate track is selected.)
  2. Click on the Match Frame button.  By default, Match Frame is located within the Tool Palette.
