baffled about doing a specific edit type
-
Cheers Steve, and Jeremy before. I am working my way through the MacPro training, so not diving in completely blinkered 🙂 But sometimes I forget the proper names for things I do (self taught and a little dizzy at times) so googling doesn’t quite through up the goods, thus at that point i post in here as it is my forum of choice (and terribly helpful). Which is why I didn’t use the proper name for this type of edit in my title.
And yep, venting is more for my benefit than others, but look at Tom’s responses to vents… such a much more pleasant man than Bill, and I have the utmost respect for him because of it.
Anyway, thanks all will try this out later.

Don’t forget to submit feature requests for things that annoy you the most, Apple actually read them!

I do have a list. I’m generally rubbish at feedback but will try and get round to it at some point once i’ve used it more and discovered other things too.
I am accepting that over the past 18 months they have added a lot of stuff including little things. In fact I wouldn’t be using it if they hadn’t as what is now there is usable whereas when i first tried it at launch it was horrible to me. So much like we waited until FCP7 before the default for adding text shadow was 2 I guess there is just a wait ahead for these things to be resolved 🙂
Still, +/-3db and jump forward 1 second are right going to wind me up until they are put back in 🙂 I use both of those very very frequently.

[Julian Bowman] “Still, +/-3db”
“Control =” and “control -” x3.
[Julian Bowman] ” jump forward 1 second”
“+ 1 .” or “Plus sign, 1, period”. Make sure nothing is selected. If something is selected, it will move it the number of frames/seconds you specify.
I can’t help myself with the keyboard commands.

For me detaching audio often creates more problems than it solves most of the time it’s easier to expand audio rather than detach

ha, nice try but no 🙂
I want my +/-3db back on one click. I had 7 to 0 as +3, +1, -1, -3db. Used it a lot.
And again, no with the jump forward 1 second. I want Shift + >. I used the one second jump so often and for many more reasons than actually marking time. It is so much easier and quicker than + 1 dot enter.
So though I know of both of these, they are workarounds, rather than things that were there and really should still be there. I get that some things have had to change because they do things a bit differently, but things like these – there is no logical reason they are not there other than omission, be that accidental or deliberate.

Show off!!!

[Julian Bowman] “Used it a lot.”
I hear you.

I hear you again. Send some feedback to Apple.
If you have a keypad, entering numbers is really easy (and accurate) but I see your point.

I learned something new reading this thread. Love the keyboard shortcuts that I didn’t know existed.
However, I normally just double-click the audio part of the clip and that expands the clip (fast. don’t have to take hands off the mouse) and simply drag on the end of the audio which will now move independently of the video. Fast L or J cut. Then just double-click the audio to make it join the video again.
