works for me…this was my biggest feature request..thank you Apple people..now where’s the bloody view or hide connectors command again?

[Andy Neil]

At the bottom right of the timeline, you can hide connections by clicking the settings button down there and unchecking the box.

That’s it…is there a shortcut or toggle key for this?

Look in the keyboard shortcut editor.

It’s very easy to search for things.

Command-option-k brings the shortcut editor up.

As far as hiding/showing connections as a shortcut, the simple is answer is, no.

Thanks Jeremy I had looked an not found but wondered whether there might be one just as we have discovered that it is possible to toggle on and off override connections …you never know what they might have hidden.

[Andy Neil] “You can create a gap clip to place in the primary storyline up to the point where your close goes. Then you can use the overwrite command when editing to overwrite the gap until you get to the end. It’s kind of the same way you’d edit on FCP (only you don’t have to add slug at the beginning).
“

The easier way which doesn´t force you to overwrite is to make a GAP clip or even a title clip of the needed length and drag it below the primary to have it as a guideline. Then simply turn it off with “V” so it doesn´t need rendering (if you use a title clip)

I did that first. Now I just keep an eye at the bottom of the timeline where you always see the total time of your project anyway.

We are having very often frame-accurate runtimes with no issues at all.
