![]() I think showing the black screen of Filler immediately would help remind people what that Red Trim tool is for and what it's going to do.Jon Connolly is the most sought-after Pro Tools instructor in the world. Moved- unlike Yellow Ripple Trims, which update both Trim screens interactively. Incidentally, when trimming with that Red Overwrite Trim roller, the TRIM window does not show Filler until after it's been I suppose some will want the two Red Overwrite-Trim Modes available as keyboard commands. They may be less inclined to disable it, because they would be not forced to use it. With the addition of just two instant "Yellow Ripple Trim" keyboard commands, one for Left-Side Ripple, one for Right-Side Ripple, I bet many of the keyboard-centric editors will feel they got a benefit from MC5's new "Smart Tools", as well. (let's face it, for those touch-typists, hovering the mouse is not as fast as banging on a key).īut couldn't the "Instant Ripple Trim" concept be made available as standard keyboard commands? Why not just add them to the Command Palette, like any other valuable tool? If the idea in MC5 was to avoid "modes", then just avoid them- by jumping into TRIM Mode with the specific Trim tool you need, not the default double-roller. It didn't take into account all the editors that prefer the keyboard over the mouse. The "Smart Tools" idea of pointing the mouse cursor near a transition and hovering to select from a choice of Trim modes (Ripple Trim Left, Ripple Trim Right, Double-Roller, Overwrite Trim Left, Overwrite Trim Left ) was good, but it didn't go far enough. Very easy & direct, especially for touch-typists. I know many editors enjoyed using the keyboard that way. Next, another keypress was required, when necessary, to select either Left-Side single roller Trim, Right-Side single roller Trim or Toggle Trim to quickly cycle thru all three choices (Left-Side Trim, Right-Side Trim or Double Rollers). In the past, keyboard-centric editors would cue up the blue position bar on or near their desired edit point, then press the TRIM key to access TRIM Mode, which placed Double-Rollers on the nearest edit point, depending on which Tracks were active in the Track Panel. But it's the first time I've felt that MC has taken a step backwards. Try deleting a keyframe in a video effect in the source/record windows - Sometimes you can do it by using the delete key, other times it has to be the backspace key, and yet other times, none of these works, and you have to open up the keyframes in the effect editor to delete them from there.Īlso forget ctrl-x (CUT) on key frames that no longer works either - at best, you can ctrl-c (COPY), then delete. I have only one question re all these forced idiotic implementations. The setting of keyframes in audio tracks is so annoying now, I don't even want to go into that.Īnd while on the subject of annoyances - Keyframe editing for video effects is like jumping through hoops. ![]() As soon you use the insert or overwrite mode, It's turned on again, then you have to first EXIT which ever you used, before selecting the next one, otherwise both will be turned on. The best one gets is 'turn the annoying thing off when you click on the ruler'īut that doesn't really work like it says. There's no 'disable smart tool' in the edit tab. ![]()
