M2 flip script

[darwinandpaine]

I thought I remembered someone writing an FX script to flip M2 footage in FCP. Can someone point me in the right direction? I've got hundreds of clips and my searches here have yeilded nothing. Thanks.

I used Rotate clips.

Thanks. Brian. I tried it --- couldn't get it to work. I ended up writing a Quickeys macro.

Can you post what you did to make it happen?

I wrote a macro that would select the next clip, bring it up in the viewer, select the motion tab, tab twice to the rotate field, enter 180, hit enter, select the browser window again and select the next clip... which would repeat the process. Then I wrote another macro to do that ten times so that I'd only have to "do" something (hit a keyboard command) every ten clips.

I have set up "Flop both" as a favorite effect in FCP and it's assigned to (ctrl-shift-2)
Usually I drag all my clips into a sequence and apply them with one stroke, sometimes one bin at a time.

Brilliant! I'll try that next time.

forgot to say that I then drag all the clips back to my browser, to get duplicate masterclips w/ the flop applied
