The “little things” in X.

I wonder which UI design team originally figured it out.
It’s certainly convenient.

I noticed that the instant I scrolled the first time. Still bugs me at times as I equate the left edge of a clip with it’s text. I guess it’s an improvement overall, especially if you do t have 20 years experience of it performing in a particular way.

It’s like they are being scooped up by a plow! Funny…and useful.

Avid will never do it.

Shane,

AVID just expects that the editor will KNOW that the “clown horn” is on Audio track 23.

Because audio track 23 is the “clown horn” track and AVID editors are expected to know that because they are AVID editors and have extensive ongoing experience remembering where stuff is.

Simple.

No, the difference is that it’s easier to remember where things are when you have tracks, because people are used to reading and remembering things organized in grids that make it easier to correlate elements in time and space. David Lawrence and i have been telling you all this for over four years.

And your contention that ALL editors MUST be spatially oriented to a GRID to be effective has been TOTALLY WRONG for those same four years.

Different peoples brains are often – different.

Someday you’ll come to appreciate that.

Maybe.

That’s a perfect example of your misquoting in order to try to make a good point out of your own crap.

I never said “ALL” editors do anything, “ALL” was your fabrication – in formal debate that’s recognized as method of avoiding or deflecting attention form your opponent’s valid point in order to confuse the issue.

Nice try!!!

I know where my clown horn is. I can spot it pretty quickly. It’s a short effect so the name fills the whole clip anyway. Now, clip 79/1…the LONG one…no, if I’m zoomed in I have no idea if that’s the clip I’m looking at or not.

I find scrolling timelines to be aesthetically unpleasing so I never knew this was a problem that need a solution.

Is kinda cool to watch the names float as the waveforms pass by though..
