MC5 Rubberbanding
This was never a problem in other versions. Dropped in the keyframe but it won’t let me manipulate the levels in the timeline. Please advise.

Ha! I just ran into this the other day working on a freelance job before I got up to speed on all the interface changes.
Go to the Smart tool on the left of the timeline and click the little icon that kind of looks like rubberbanded keyframes.

In MC5 some designer decided that you have to turn on rubber banding each time you want to use it. Click on the tool at the bottom of the Smart Tool box on the left of the timeline. You can map the button to your keyboard to minimize irritation but you still have to remember to hit the key…

This is my big beef with MC 5. There are lots of “additions” like this.
In an effort to win over FCP editors, they have created a monster that is essentially a clunky implementation of FCP style editing on top of the Avid interface ….and it is very difficult to turn off completely for those that do not want or need it. I’ve been an Avid editor since 1998 and an FCP editor since FCP v1 (I forger what year that was). I don’t hate FCP the way many Avid editors do. FCP has a very different approach to interface than Avid…you can’t just tack on elements from one to the other and have it “feel” organic. These interface “tweaks” do not make me feel like I am editing on FCP. They make me feel like I am editing on a less efficient Avid.
