Hello friends. I'm using broadcast 4 and am trying to load clip from my hard drive to the program. within the file there are two seperate clips but I can only get one of them into to bin. There is also an exclaimation mark on the folder. I can open both clips themselves outside of edius but not after there in it.
I know i sound a bit incoherent but would appreciate any help
Sincerely yours

Is it a spanned clip? If so, EDIUS is intelligent enough to treat it as one big continuous clip. So it may be working -- have you checked the beginning and end of the imported clip to see if it's all there, being treated as one continuous clip?
 
Yeah. It'll just get combined into one clip within EDIUS. If you check the timecode and see if it matches up with the two clips, it probably will.

Later,
Jason

I am using 4.51c. When you use the P2 Select funtion (and then browse to a folder), you will notice the exclamation point on the file within the first folder (let's say folder/or card #9). When you select to add the next folder/card (let's say #10) that has the rest of the spanned clip you will notice the identical clip from folder/card #9.

When you add the clip to your root (or new folder) within the Broadcast interface you can now select either one and you will have the complete clip. If you go back and look at the contents of #9 you will see that the exclamation point has disappered and there is (I think) a green icon.

Same as it always worked but now there is a visual clue that did not exist before . . . saves you from loading the identical (spanned) clip twice by mistake.

Hint: I normally add the cards in order. So when I encounter the exclamation point it is usually at the end of the file list . . . I just add all files EXCEPT that one because I know it will show up (complete) at the top of the next card when I add it.
 
Thanks

Thanks

Thanks friends for the advice. I think they are spanned clips and edius seems to be putting them togeter with clips in other folders automatically but it is leaving out one of the two clips that are within in the folder. the symbol on the clip is actually a red X. Thanks again
