Timeline settings –> edit tab. Uncheck “auto-monitoring”.

I’m running a 2012 Macbook Pro with a 128GB SSD (bought it about 4 days ago). It’s much faster to load programs and the general responsiveness of the system seems faster than similar systems I’ve run with standard 7200rpm drives.
I haven’t noticed a significantly faster boot time, but I haven’t found the boot time too bad on a Mac anyway. Not sure how it compares to the Z800s. If anything I’d expect all the initial loading after Windows boots to be faster.

In the command palette change your mapping from “Button to Button” mapping to “Menu to Button” mapping. It’s the radio buttons on the bottom of the command pallete. Then you select the key you want to map on the keyboard, then go to the fast menu and select More Detail. Do the same with Less Detail.

[klaus rodahl] “btw do you or anyone know how to get square brackets on mac when in avid? i can’t fint MD and LD in the command pallette (cmd+3)”
More Detail and Less Detail are in the lower left hand corner of the timeline fast menu. It’s not in the command palette.

When you load a clip or sequence into your source monitor you can toggle the timeline to show the source side, not the record side.
Super useful to mark up long takes with locators, or to load a sequence and choose exactly which tracks you might want to cut into your sequence, etc… Also how you see the source side audio waveforms.
To toggle the timeline from Record to Source, look at the bottom left of your timeline. You’ll have the fast menue, the focus button, then the Source/Record toggle. When it’s grey, you’re looking at the record side. When it’s highlighted green it’s source side.

From the article:
“Companies like Dell have 171 products listed on EPEAT, but yet if you look on Dell’s Web site, none of their computers are even Energy Star Compliant.”
Are there various levels of Energy Star compliance? I honestly don’t know, but that didn’t sound right so a quick Google search brought me these:
https://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/EnergStar5.0_SpecSheet.pdf
https://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx150/en/ug/reg.htm#estar_comp
Something seems amiss, or I’m completely misunderstanding what the Energy Star sticker means.
EDIT:
Just saw this on twitter: https://blogs.wsj.com/cio/2012/07/10/san-francisco-officials-plan-to-block-apple-procurement/Wonder if this is an isolated response or if Apple’s move will eventually cost them a significant amount of sales.

File–>Import. It will convert the .mp3 on import.

There’s no telling how long it will take to approve Mountain Lion, though. Might be a couple weeks after the release or a couple months if there are issues. You could stay on 5.5 until Mountain Lion is approved then do a mass upgrade. Are there MC6 features you really need right now?

Just go to Lion and wait for Avid to approve Mountain Lion. I don’t even think Lion 10.7.4 is approved yet so Mountain Lion certainly isn’t.

I didn’t see this linked in the article Walter posted but I just did a quick scan of it:
There are a ton of people that would pay for a standalone service, but if HBO does it the cable providers might just not renew contracts (or it might violate contracts), they would drop HBO, thereby losing HBO 100% of those cable customers immediately (or at least for a little while – some would access it through the new HBO standalone service, but not all of them). Are there sufficient numbers of standalone subscribers to cover that loss?
It’s a numbers game, and unfortunately the cable/satellite providers seem to have the numbers on their side. I would personally rather pay $10-$15 bucks/month directly to HBO and Showtime for their original content than pay a cable subscription + $10-$20 for it.
