Comping question

[Jerry Freese]

When I'm comping, it's hard to start at the very end of another "cut" where the cross fade is and sometimes creates a tiny clip in between. This is a PITA when I wan to speed comp through something and it gets "stuck" on the tiny piece.  Does anybody have suggestions how to prevent this? I have read through and watched videos but none in my recent viewing seem to talk about this although I recall something one instructing how to " make sure you are at the very start.  I know you can wipe the splits by wiping across the whole clip with the comp tool but is there a way to heal just one split without making another split?

Posted in your other thread: To 'heal' a split, select the clips on either side, and Ctrl+click on of them.

You might want to enable snap at an appropriate level of precision to prevent 'duplicate' splits.

Note that the "Comp" icon must be showing to heal clips. If the "Move" icon is showing Cntrl-clicking will unselect the clip. The smart tool shows the "comp" icon on the bottom half of clips.

Yes. Inadvertently left out to click "with the Comp tool" as mentioned in the other post.

Also, if you select the two clips you want to heal, hit shift space to play the two clips then press enter and it will heal.
