Or at a minimum the crossconvert should work from a 1080p/23.976 project. Unless this is something the Nitris DX does that the Mojo doesn't, I've seen more than a few consumer HDTVs hooked up this way.

It's been a while since I've encountered this, but if I remember right try creating (and then deleting) a blank sequence in the bin you're having trouble with. Then try to alt-drag into the bin again and see if it works. I think this is what I used to do when I had this problem. Hope it helps --Evan

If you're left with locked files, btw, you can run a command similar to this in Terminal (just change the path to point to where your locked files are): chflags -R nouchg /Volumes/P2_Cards/Card1 I wouldn't recommend running this on the card itself, of course, but it's a handy command if you have local directories of locked files you need

I've never used a D7 (although I will have after we shoot some b-roll on Sunday!), but I think you're right that you should just be able to add pulldown during the transcode out of H.264. Not sure on the best grading workflow, I guess it depends in part on your delivery spec and what system you're planning to grade on. On a side note, is

You should be able to mount the P2 media and have at it immediately in a 1080i/59.94 project --Evan

To get back a bit to the OP's problem, there is a nice little space between the clip icon and the first column (generally the Name) that works great for lassoing. You might find it easier to lasso selected ranges of clips if you only try to lasso from that area of blank space in the bin.

I've noticed that on 3.1.2 with complex sequences. I'm not sure what causes it (although I have a few uneducated guesses), but I just recently learned a trick that makes the dissolve dialog box obsolete and that I use exclusively now so that I don't have to wait while Avid figures out where I want to add a dissolve: In Steve Cohen's

Is there a way to buy the Production Suite without the hardcopy manuals? Or at least some way to donate/return them after I receive them? I just use the online documentation when I need it and would prefer not to waste all that paper on manuals I won't use :) thanks, --Evan

Thirded. Didn't even know I wanted this until I read this thread. But having just masked off the editor's beautiful plasma with gaffers tape I think this would be a great feature

That's very welcome news! Thanks!
