In this lesson, Kevin P McAuliffe answers a viewer's question where they have accidentally deleted footage from their sequence that they need, and they don't have the master clips to go back and recapture/re-import. Is all lost? Not after watching this tutorial. Kevin shows you how easy it is to not only get your Master clips back, but get your footage back into your timeline in no time flat.

Of course if you don't need handles you can just batch import the sequence itself (highlight seq in bin -right click, choose batch import), choose offline only and save a step inthe process. The new master clips will be created automatically..

Another good one.

You might mention that the last part depends on the original footage existing somewhere. Should be obvious but may not be to a panicked or stressed person.

Thanks,

In this lesson, Kevin P McAuliffe answers a viewer question about the ability to do transfer modes (composite modes) inside of MC and Symphony 6. The viewer is currently using a free plug-in with MC 5.5, but since the plug-in is 32-bit, it won't work inside of MC6/Symphony 6, as they are 64 bit applications. Kevin shows how easy it is to work with transfer modes with some great free applications that are included in your MC6 and Symphony 6 purchases.
