Inserting a Revised Take in the Script Bin[edit]
When you need to insert a revised Take 4 into a Script Bin that already contains Takes 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, but Avid doesn’t allow insertion between existing takes, here’s a workaround to ensure your script marks are not lost:
- Begin by adding the new Take 4 to the end of the Script Bin, following Take 8.
- Identify the script marks on the original Take 4.
- Double-click the starting script mark of the original Take 4 to display the timecode, then note it down, or commit the MM:SS:FF to memory, eg 08:19:05
- Go to the new Take 4 at the end and double-click its starting point.
- Input the noted timecode using the numeric keypad (eg 081905) and press enter to jump the new Take 4 to the matching timecode.
- Click Add Script Mark to add the script mark to the new take.
- Repeat this for the manual script marks from the original Take 4.
- After all script marks have been replicated, you can now remove the old Take 4.
This workaround allows you to seamlessly integrate a new take into your script bin, ensuring all your script marks are preserved and in the correct order.
