3. Click the Search Results icon to view the matching files.
Automatically adding recorded files to a media bin
Select a media bin if you want to automatically add your recorded audio to a media bin.
Deleting media from a bin
1. Select a media file.
2. Press Delete on your keyboard.
3. If the All Media Folder is selected, the file will be removed from your project.
4. If a media bin is selected, the file is removed from the bin, but remains part of your project. The file is still available in the All
Media Folder.
Configuring 24p pulldown removal
Right-click a DV AVI file in the Project Media window and choose File Format Properties from the shortcut menu to edit file settings
from the file format plug-in associated with the media file type.
For 24p NTSC DV AVI files with 2-3 pulldown, you can use this dialog to configure removal of pulldown fields.
In most cases, you will not need to edit pulldown removal settings. However, if the settings were not properly set in the DV header
when your video was captured, you can fine-tune pulldown removal without recapturing your video.
1. Right-click an AVI file in the Project Media window and choose File Format Properties from the shortcut menu. The AVI/DV
Media Properties dialog appears.
This command is not available for non-24p NTSC video or for 24p NTSC video using 2-3-3-2 pulldown.
2. Select the Enable 2-3 pulldown removal check box.
3. Choose a setting from the Starting frame timecode offset drop-down list to indicate what timecode numbers represent which
frame in the video sequence.
For example, if you have an NTSC DV file with 2-3 pulldown created on a Sony JH3 HDCAM deck, the default settings for
timecode offset use 0 for the Starting frame timecode offset.
If you have changed the timecode offsets on the deck (or if you have material with pulldown from another source) you will
have to experiment with the settings to determine the correct offset.
4. Check for interlacing:
a. In the Project Properties dialog, choose a NTSC DV 24p template from the Template drop-down list.
b. Choose the Best (Full) setting in the Video Preview window to show full frames.
c. Step though the clip and look for interlace lines in moving objects or backgrounds.
d. If you see interlace lines, repeat from step 3 and choose a different offset value.
e. When no interlace lines appear, the offset is set correctly.
Pairing two media files as a stereoscopic 3D subclip
If you have two files that have synchronized timecode — such as video shot on a 3D camera that creates separate left- and right-eye
clips — you don’t need to align the audio and video. Just select the clips in the Project Media window and choose Pair as
Stereoscopic 3D Subclip from the shortcut menu.
If you view the clip properties for the new subclip, you’ll see that the Stereoscopic 3D Mode is set to Pair with next stream.
Tip: Right-click the Search Results icon and choose Save as Bin from the shortcut menu to save the results of your search as a new
media bin.
Note: You can clear this check box if you want to override pulldown removal for individual files when the Enable pulldown
removal when opening 24p DV check box is selected on the General tab of the Preferences dialog.
