Hey, sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

You could create a graphic template and do the text in a seperate title. Not sure what exactly you're trying to do, so I'm not sure I can wrap my head around this.

Nice trick,
thank you.
I used to make it with a template
i got an animated lower third backround and created a template with
the titler.
To keep all animation, i created a template sequence to c+p in my master timeline,
then i opend the title tool from within the timeline to change the text by c+p from a text file.

the autotitler saves a lot of time, but how do i get the created titels into my animated template without rebuilding fade in and out and position animation ervery time?

Hi, Chritian! You are avid guy that's cool. But for new users they need a video showing how to start a project, how to import, export too and you neve made a video for new avid users. I would be happy if you Make a video showing the easiest way to import multiple MP4 files into media composer, Thanks!

Christian: I have only recently discovered your screencasts and I dont really understand why it has taken me so long to find them. Are there good links from the Avid MC comunity forums? If so I must have missed them.
I have so far looked at a few of the screencasts and I have found each one very informative, quite pacy and enjoyable to watch. Well done. I shall certainly ensure that my MC collegues are made aware of them. Great Job.

Re: #16: Apply a Secondary Color Correction in Media Composer

HI, great tutorial. I made Secondary CC with two layers and paint effect, where I select and area and apply a CC with a mask. I think that is usefull when you have a warm person and a blue background like a storm day. Congrats for the page, Dario from Argentina.

Never mind. I think it's my error. Sorry to bother you.
I was also the one who recently (yesterday) asked you through YouTube about possibly doing a tutorial on the Avid ScriptSync feature if you know it please.

Thanks for the wonderful tutorials.

Re: #19: Red Workflow V – Ingest with Redcine-X

Babun — Tue, 10 May 2011 06:10:10 -0000

hi,
MY MC(5.0.3.6) doesn't want relink. I used Redcine_454 to convert.
I checked on two computers(PC and MAC) and it's the same.
Any suggestions?

Thank you so much for doing these podcasts!
For some reason, episodes 43, 44, 45 and 48 won't download. I wasn't sure if you were aware of this, so I thought I would let you know.
Thanks again for providing these podcasts to the community!

Re: #46: Audio Basics VI – Equalizer

Ra-ey Saleh — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 11:14:06 -0000

You're right about the EQ being pretty basic, but it's worth mentioning that the only way to play and hear you equalization whilst being able to tweak it in Real Time is to use the Audio Play Loop button. Otherwise any change stops playback.
