Check for Flash Frames

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 Filed in: Weekly Tip

Before we print to tape, we step through our finished shows one edit at a time, just to make sure we don’t have any black flash frames. Use the up and down arrow keys to take you from edit point to edit point. If your Canvas shows a black frame (or unintentional frame), you have a flash frame. Switch to trimming, and you can take the offending frames out.
