JEvents - Set up date range

I maintain web-site using Joomla ans JEvents v2.2.8. Events in calendar are displayed in List Raw.
After I added an event, it was displyed in list. The reason - it wasn't in data range set up for the list.
To change the data range DON"T go to the Configuration in Components -> JEvents (that what I did and spent few hours trying to figure out how to change data range). The answer is much more simplier: it lays in menu item in Joomla, which links to your calendar.
Open Menus -> Main menu (or what is yours) -> in the list of items there will be your calendar.

All the settings about date range, where you cn add absolute or relative date, number of months or weeks you want ot display after actual date and so on.

Some Copy/Paste shortcuts in Avid MC (Shif+V from FCP, Alt+C)

I used to shortcut Shift+V in FCP which is called Insert Paste or Splice in.
To do the same in Avid MC if you need just to copy some timeline segment and paste it anywhere else without overiding other clips, go to the timeline segment mode (yellow arrow) and click ctrl+v. It will paste your clip or fragment in the timeline without affecting other clips.

Also you could load the fragment or clip from timeline (select In and Out to define this fragment) by clicking Alt+C. Be aware, it you have remapped Copy to Clipboard function from C key, it wouldn't work. After you see your clip in sourse monitor you can patch it everywhere you want.

Open Avid MC project in Edius via EDL

I had to connect project from Avid MC 5 and Edius 5 or 6. What I found out that not each edl type works properly... Someties Edius just doesnt want to open it. So here what I've found out after some long experiments.

AVID MCTo export EDL from Avid MC:
go to EDl manager and "Get sequence"



The best settings in EDL Manager. 
EDL type GVG 7.0_7.0 or GVG 4.1_6.0
Record TC 25 (it was my frame rate)
Switcher gvg_100.
Choose only one track (V1 OR A1 OR A2)

In Edius:
Import Project --> EDL
EDL type is BVE9100
you can create new sequence if you need.

The sequence will import in Edius timeline.

Now you have to reconnect files. Choose "Open the clip restoration dialog..."
It doesn't remember any source names, only reel names, so you have to know what files are in you timeline. Uncheck "Link only files that match exactly" and show your files.
(I had problem with this in Edius 5 ,as it doesn't have "match exactly" and you can't uncheck it then... So had to switch to Edius 6)

Than make the same steps to other tracks (audio for example)

! It is also important to note, that GVG (Grass Valley) EDL doesn't accetp reel names longer than 6 characters.

If this post helped you, I will be glad to hear from you in comments!
