BACKGROUND:
There will be times when we're editing quickly — say, for a
news story that has to get finished really fast — and, in our
hurry, we may accidentally create a Flash Frame (just 1 frame,
or a few frames, of video) or possibly a fame or more of Filler in
the video track. Within the Timeline menu (main menu) you'll
find selections for "Find Black Hole" (Filler) and for "Find Flash
Frame," both of which can be mapped to your keyboard or
interface, if you use them a lot.
HOW THEY WORK:
Find Black Hole — the definition of a "Black Hole" is any Filler
on a Video track that is between two video segments. It will find
any duration of Filler on the video track(s) you have enabled.
Find Flash Frame — This feature only works on the Video
Tracks you have enabled. The default setting is to find flash
frames that are less than 10 frames (i.e. 9, 8, 7, etc.). "Find

BACKGROUND:
,The default setting behavior for the Video Monitor is to move to
the same track that you're patching to — Avid calls this Auto
Monitoring. This often causes some frustration — one example

BACKGROUND:
While I think the Smart Tools are pretty cool, I prefer to set it so
that only one of the Segment Mode Tools can be enabled at a
time — either the red Lift/Overwrite arrow, or the yellow
Extract/Splice-In arrow.
QUESTION:
I just sent you an email saying that I've totally forgotten where
to set the preference to allow only one Segment Tool to be
enabled at a time. Where will you direct me to go to turn this
preference on?

BACKGROUND:
You decide that you would like to color code your audio tracks.
For example, you decide that A1 and A2, which are tracks
reserved for dialog, will be light blue; tracks A3 thru A6, which
are reserved for Sound Effects, will be light green; and tracks
A7 & A8, which are reserved for music, will be light red.
