Space All Clips 0.5 Seconds Apart
Greetings and salutations Pro Tools Community!
Pretty much everything I know is from GarageBand and Logic Pro. I don't have Logic Pro at the moment, so have been using Pro Tools for editing a 40 chapter audiobook. It's more suited for long format editing than GarageBand, since each track is 10-15 minutes long rather than your standard 4 minute song. I have a couple of questions regarding optimizing a project this long and with so many clips. First, is there a way for me to set all of the clips within a track to be spaced apart by a certain amount? I have the clips divided by sentence, and need to evenly space them so I can start pacing the narration. Second, is there a way to place room tone automatically in the blank areas of the track left in between clips by strip silence? Thank you! I look forward too your reply. |

Re: Space All Clips 0.5 Seconds Apart
A good solution is in post #2 : http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=389048 , if the clips are all butted up against each other, no space between them.
Do not use a dummy clip, but a 0,5 sec room tone clip. Basically : TAB to the end of one clip, V for pasting the room tone, Tab , V , Tab , V , Tab, V , ... . Oh, and : welcome !

Re: Space All Clips 0.5 Seconds Apart
This is working awesome! One more question, can I automaticly delete the blank space created by Strip Silence? It would save a lot of time butting the clips next to each other if I could.
Thanks again! |

Re: Space All Clips 0.5 Seconds Apart
Automatically delete, I do not think so, but :
have clip list open, clip list - menu : timeline drop order left/right, clip list - sort by : time, select all clips in the edit window - they are highlighted as well in the clip list, in the clip list : drag the clips to a new track (or somewhere after the clips in the original tracks, all are butted up. Remove the original, spaced clips.

Re: Space All Clips 0.5 Seconds Apart
Thank you no!
After I asked these questions, I found that in many instances strip silence wouldn't work, as any sort of breath or lip noise would pollute the room tone, and I couldn't raise the threshold high enough to clear them without essentially noise gating the rest of the audio, a no no with ACX and it's my personal preference to avoid it as well. So I simply went through with my selector tool the way I'm sure many people with DAWs cabable of it do, and used my selector tool to highlight the room tone and breaths, then paste the half second of clean room tone over them. This adjusted pacing and cleaned the audio in the same way as the strip silence and tab tab command V method, and really didn't take any longer. Thanks for your help, it's really helped me figure out my workflow as I learn Pro Tools. Thanks again! |
