  Mouse/Pen Precision mode

  Posted by Sascha Haber on June 20, 2011 at 9:40 am

  Hi there,

  I wonder if there is a keystroke to enter some sort of precision mode when altering sliders with the mouse or the pen.
  I find it very hard to adjust some of them and it can be tricky to do fine adjustments.
  Something like CTRL+Click (Scale mouse value by 10) could solve that.

  A slice of color…

  If you’re on a Wacom, you should be able to make one of the buttons become either a toggle or a “push to.. talk?” for precision mode.

  Sascha, good comment, I would concur. I specifically have been asked by a few clients to generate “black mattes” (for 2.35 cropping) on a few tape laybacks and I’ve had a very difficult time “dialing in” in precise settings on format output sliders for these black bars. You basically have to click and drag with the mouse and it skips about 6 pixels every time you move the thing. (if someone knows how to do this more precisely, please do share!)

  I understand that if we had the DaVinci Panel things would be more precise, but, seems like we shouldn’t have a lack of functionality simply because of that.

  Once a slider is selected (highlighted blue), you can use the mouse scroll wheel to change the value. That’s the best way I’ve found to make fine adjustments.

  That being said, I would love it if all slider values could be entered numerically as well, and if all curves boxes had some sort of zoom precision mode for really fine tuning.
