Thank you.

Three more, please:

1) A Bin can be set to : Tree, Region, Summary. None of them show a picon/thumbnail. How do get picons and how do you change there size?

2) Amazingly, the O or ] keys do not work in the Trimmer. The I works, but hitting O causes the in-point to move to the point where the O was pressed. Crazy!

Neither does the SPACE key to play/pause. However, I have been able to assign < as GOTO IN and > as GOTO OUT and they work fine.

3) One can choose the exact transition and drag to a clip overlap. Despite the fact you have already chosen the EXACT one you want, the parameter box opens which you have to manually close. How can this needless behavior be eliminated?

Best Regards,

The ‘collapse loop if no selection’ is the killer.

[Steve Mullen] “1) A Bin can be set to : Tree, Region, Summary. None of them show a picon/thumbnail. How do get picons and how do you change there size?”

On the Project Media tab, the options are List, Details, and Thumbnail. That’s where the “bins” are located.

I see “Tree, Region, Summary” as options in the EXPLORER window (as well as “Details” and “All Files”.) Those three are all distinct options that can be turned on or off. The Explorer screen does not show picons.

[Steve Mullen] “2) Amazingly, the O or ] keys do not work in the Trimmer. The I works, but hitting O causes the in-point to move to the point where the O was pressed. Crazy!”

To be honest, I edit on the timeline. The trimmer does have some usefulness (if I’m looking for a small segment to fill a small hole) but I typically just drag the entire clip to the timeline, cut out what I don’t want, and then go from there. Scripting also helps in this process. I use the “Extract Good Clips” tool in Excalibur for this.

[Steve Mullen] “Neither does the SPACE key to play/pause. However, I have been able to assign < as GOTO IN and > as GOTO OUT and they work fine.”

Options – Preferences – turn on the option to make the space bar “Play/Pause” instead of “Play/Stop”. Either that or use the ENTER key instead.

[Steve Mullen] “3) One can choose the exact transition and drag to a clip overlap. Despite the fact you have already chosen the EXACT one you want, the parameter box opens which you have to manually close. How can this needless behavior be eliminated?”

Hold down the SHIFT key when you drag the transition.
