Slip dynamics channels
Anyone know if it’s possible to slip an entire dynamics channel, or are we limited to sliding marks individually? I just had to redo a complex window animation when all I needed to do was slide the whole animation by few frames. I know I must be missing something.

Good idea !
Like an overlaying block on the timeline, like a transition box, that holds the whole animation would be awesome.A slice of color…

I come from smoke/flame, and there I’m used to a switch that lets one view and edit animation channels either as keyframe data (keyframes with curves between them) or tracks (with which you can slip, compress or expand entire animation channels). I’m not sure, but I would assume that it works the same or very similar in Lustre as well.
Another simple option would simply be to allow us to multi-select the marks! I can’t believe that I can only select one mark at a time (shift and command do nothing).

If anyone’s wondering why I needed to do such a thing….
I was manually color tracing from another timeline and the animation came in a bit off. Four frames off to be exact. This sync error was caused by the fact that I was using pre-conforms based on EDL’s that came out of the scene detect module (no source timecodes), and the shot I was tracing to didn’t have exactly the same frames or length as the shot I was tracing from. Seems like something that could be a fairly common scenario in rush grading pickup shots, no? It certainly can be for me.

Hi Adam,
You can multi-select marks by holding down shift and drawing a lasso around the marks you want to select.
While holding the shift key down, if you click and drag the mouse, all the selected marks should move together.
Hope this helps.
