All of the 2011 28 Days of Quicktips quicktips all in one place
Scott Simmons | 03/04
We really ended up with 31 thanks to the great Reader Submitted Quicktips
February 2011 has come and gone and with the onset of March, the 2011 edition of the Editblog’s 28 Days of Quicktips has come to a close. We first did this in 2009 and with all the positive feedback I received back then I thought we’d try it again for 2011, with a twist. This time we were asking for Reader Quicktips as well and we received quite a few good ones. As a bonus, I thought I’d pick the best Reader Submitted Quicktip and give the creator of that Quicktip their choice of a book. Read on to see the winner winners.
Here are links to all of the 28 31 tips from the 2011 28 Days of Quicktips.
Day 01: Apply multiple FCP bin comments at once.
February 1, 2011 - right + click to apply multiple comments to clips at once in FCP bin
Day 02: Manifesto title tool can spell check.
February 2, 2011 - The recent free FxFactory title update includes a title tool that can spell check
Day 03: Scrub the FCP thumbnail column thumb
February 3, 2011 - You can scrub the thumbnail displayed in the FCP thumbnail column
Day 04: Save a comment specific column layout in FCP
February 4, 2011 - I like to save a specific bin column layout for comments only and then edit to my liking
Day 05: Change Sequence Timecode in Media Composer 5
Avid moved the change sequence timecode command in MC 5 and didn’t tell us
Day 06: The mappable Avid Smart Tool button

Day 07: changing FCP filters lengths partially applied to a clip

Day 10: Map Media Composer keyboard arrows to FF and REW

Day 11: Playhead of your timeline to match FCP edit to tape In point
February 11, 2011 - This Reader Quicktip isn’t for everyone but if editing to tape it is a very good one
Not everyone has to perform edits to tape these days but if you do then I think the Day 11 tip is a great one to have for Final Cut Pro. Ben Scott’s tip saves a bit of time when setting up FCP to perform an insert edit to tape. This tip was one of my favorites. Ben gets a book and the iOS software.
Day 12: Dupe detection in Avid, FCP and kinda in Premiere Pro but not really

Day 16: Restore Default Patch in Avid Media Composer
February 16, 2011 - This Reader Quicktip is a one click option when editing from a sequence in the Source monitor
This Avid Media Composer Quicktip from Josh Petok is really just a simple reminder of an Avid function but I have to admit that it’s one that I often forget about. In fact I had found myself, just a few days before he sent in this tip, manually patching a sequence to edit from Avid’s Source to Record. The instant I saw this tip I was reminded that there was an easier way. Josh gets a book too.
