I think you could pretty safely drop the "probably" and replace it with "highly likely to be", Job. It's not a characteristic that I've ever seen on Avid exports, but it's something that VLC media player does as standard.

[quote user="Telegram!"] Does Lightworks Slide trim multiple clips as well?[/quote]Yes, and much more complex adjustments than that can be done, but this isn't a Lightworks forum. I shouldn't have made that comment. My apologies.

[quote user="Telegram!"]Please remember how MC lead the NLE pack with cool, robust, handy features like multi-segment Slip & Slide trimming.[/quote] No they didn't. Lightworks was doing that in 1991.

[quote user="Mercer"]That - mark it, then CTRL + ALT + c - was a piece of wisdom, amongst so many, echoing down the years, from the late great Larry Rubin.[/quote]Since I've retired I don't come here as often as I used to, but I still think of Larry often. He is still missed. I also miss his joking emails.

[quote user="Steen Hansen"]Everyone works to timelines. Users are important, you'll agree, and they work to timelines. But Avid NEVER share estimates of when something will come out. Why not?[/quote]As a one-time software developer, I can tell you exactly why not. It's not likely to be because they have some ulterior motive, but because

[quote user="jef"]The key here is whether they speed up the picture to 25 fps. That would seem bad for sync audio material.[/quote] Maybe so, but it has been commonly done for PAL TV since day one. In fact even in the days of B&W TV it was the standard method used for transmitting films in the 25 frame world.

[quote user="Sims Carter"]Any suggestions for dealers selling refurbed systems in the U.S.?[/quote]I think that Google would be your friend here. They're available world wide as far as I'm aware.

Check out Shutter Encoder . It will allow you to not only convert the media to an Avid friendly format, but you can also add/set timecode should you need to. It will allow you to convert to DNxHD or to a range of other edit-friendly codecs. There isn't much that you might want to do with a video file that you can't with SE. And it is completely

Lightworks does exactly that, and also allows other arbitrary key combinations. You can assign V1 to select video track 1 for example. That's not the best example I guess, but you take my point. It can be incredibly useful.

It's definitely going to be much simpler to parse an EDL than an AVB file. To write an app to do it would be trival compared to writing an app to extract the information from an AVB.
