When is a Toggle not a Toggle?
Hi All…
one of those little things that maybe I just don’t understand.
In keyboard shortcuts
Individual Track Target Toggles can be set up. One key to turn it ON and OFF
For all Video tracks Targeting it’s listed as a two separate keys:
TOGGLE ALL TARGET ALL VIDEO ON
TOGGLE ALL TARGET ALL VIDEO OFFBefore I write a feature request,
1) Is there a reason why you’d want 2 separate keys?
2) Isn’t a TOGGLE by definition one key?Not trying to be a smarty….I’m just asking for verification that I’m not crazy (at least regarding this).
Thanks,
Alex

I agree the wording is not cohesive here. It would be nice to have the ALL Tracks function with the toggle (same button/combo) as it works with single track shortcut.
I’d say it’s some kind of oversight… write it up. I just set my shortcut keys for it and haven’t thought any further than that. (too busy cutting away) LOL.
My combos are: “” denotes the key used as seen on the keyboard.
ALL VIDEO ON: Shift+”=”
ALL VIDEO OFF: Shift+”-”
ALL AUDIO ON: Ctrl+Shift+”=”
ALL AUDIO OFF: Ctrl+Shift+”-”It would be nice to have two combos that toggle the ON/OFF state rather than 4 combo’s to accomodate the individual states across Video and Audio.

If you have a criticism of the wording, please add that as a comment on the relevant page of Help on the Web. Then the technical writer (Kevin) can fix it.
I happen to agree that the word ‘toggle’ is misused in many places in the Premiere Pro Help document. So maybe I’ll beat you to adding some of those comments. 😉

Hi Todd…
The only reason I voiced it here was that I was trying to see if anyone else agreed with me or there was just some logic I was missing.

Oi alex, don’t get me started…
there are so many keyboard things I would change on PP
the most painful for me is having different commands/names for deleting what is between IO points and deleting the clip selected. (DELETE KEY works for me for both!!!) Same applies to cutcopypaste, all of which should have the same commands no matter whether you are selecting a clip, multiple clips, or a section marked with IO.
Really, by default, it is plain STUPID that PP differentiates.
One could have OTHER commands if you DO want differences, but by default
ctrl-c
ctrl-x
ctrl-v
ctrl-shift-v Paste backwards
delete to delete
etcthose are the ones that drive me NUTS on PP, and did way back CS2 when I first tried PP and banged on at the beta team about the commands…
I think they have tried to have some Avid style paradigm… unfortunate cos discreet edit was WAY faster and better with keyboard commands and track selection/mapping/targeting etc.
till later

It would be nice to have a “Target Audio” or “Target Video” keyboard sequence a la Final Cut: F6 then #, F7 then # and F8 then #. And yes, I’ll submit a request unless I am missing something.
