Editing with Remote Assets
1170
The following editing functions are not available when you are working with in-progress clips:
Trimming The right-side trim limit of an in-progress clip is determined by the currently available
media. When you trim an in-progress clip to the end of available media, the trim functions
as if it had reached the end of the clip. As more media is captured, the trim limit increases.
Performing the trim at a later time might allow more trimming because more media might
become available.
Function Description
Function Description
Clip duplication Duplication of an in-progress clip is not allowed because the duplicated clip loses its
relationship with the original in-progress master clip.
Group clips You cannot use an in-progress clip in a group clip, because the length of an in-progress clip is
unknown until the capture is complete. Group clips are based on the length of the
contributing clips. This limitation applies to all of the related grouping operations, such as
AutoSync, Group Clips, and MultiGroup.
Consolidate,
Transcode, and
Audio Conversion
You cannot consolidate, transcode, or perform audio conversion with an in-progress clip. All
the media must be available and the length of the clip known before you can perform these
functions. However, you can consolidate and transcode subclips and sequences that reference
or contain in-progress clips. In these cases, any right-side handles are restricted by the known
media duration of the in-progress clip at the time of the operation.
For example, if you set 2-second handles but there is only 1-second of media available for a
handle at the time the consolidate or transcode operation is executed, then the right-side
handle is restricted to 1 second.
Decompose The restrictions for decompose are the same as consolidate and transcode. The right-side
handles cannot exceed the known media duration of the clip.
Non-Check-in
export
You cannot export an in-progress clip or a sequence that contains in-progress clips because
the final clip length might be different than the clip length at the time of the export.
Variable-bit-rate
media
The only variable-bit-rate (variable-frame-size) media supported for Frame Chase editing is
low-res long-GOP MPEG-2 media captured by the Avid Interplay low-res encoder. Only
media captured by supported ingest devices is supported for Frame Chase editing.
Using the
Capture tool
Frame Chase editing is not available on an Avid editing system that is using the Capture tool
to capture media.
