  • Shortcut for Avid Diamond-Shape Buttons?

    Posted by Angel Nieves on March 10, 2013 at 5:31 pm

    I’m working on MC4 for mac and I need help finding a keyboard shortcut. I don’t even know what these buttons are called, which is why I provided the image below. It’s the diamond-shaped icons to the right of the audio track selectors. Keeping these selected is helpful for keeping synch, especially when extracting/lifting/cutting/pasting. But they keep deselecting themselves as I work on the timeline. Clicking the TC1 diamond selects all diamonds. So I’ve been trying to find a keyboard shortcut for selecting all diamonds (or whatever they’re called). Is there a keyboard shortcut?

    The buttons are called “Sync Lock” buttons… There are no keyboard shortcuts that I’m aware of. The one in the timecode track does indeed turn them all on or all off.
