Why not just reset in the inspector?

Undo will track back every move you made. I’d rather have that than an undo that undoes multiple steps at once. I wouldn’t consider what you’re describing as “eye candy”.

[Justin Crowell] “I still think, however, that the biggest problem is that I have to favorite, stop playback, grab the mouse, click the favorite and hit enter, title it, and then restart playback. Also…are you able to unfavorite multiple ranges at once? I can’t seem to figure out how to do that.”

How about this:

In list view select clip and hit play
Mark in / Mark out for your first selection and then hit F to favorite.
with clip still playing you can then Tab to the favorite, hit enter to open text box, enter text to name favorite, hit enter to close text box, hit shift-tab to take you back to the still playing clip and continue. If you have to back up use jkl keys.

also – in list view command click to select multiple favorites you don’t want and then hit “U”

does this help?

PS – I just tried re-mapping I and O to “set additional range start” and “set additional range end”. That works in the event viewer and you don’t need modifier keys but you have to change them back to use I/O in the timeline. I guess you could have a set of key commands just for logging and another for editing?

Works for me. Found a couple of bugs in the earlier versions and the dev responded and fixed them right away.

When I edit spots I use a gap clip on the primary storyline. Within the confines of 30 or 60 seconds I find the vertical magnetism more useful than the horizontal magnetism.

However for longer form projects I figure out what the backbone of the piece is and that goes on the primary. It could be a combination of things – like a talking head with cutaways on the secondary or a combination of a talking head and a voiceover on the primary with cutaways or graphics on the secondary.

I think people make more of it than it is IMHO.

I have seen intermittent weird behavior with cropping. It sometimes seems like the controls are offset from the actual crop. Transforming cropped clips also sometimes changes the crop. It’s as if crop and transform are interacting when they shouldn’t. I never saw this before 10.1. I have submitted feedback.

Hey Simon – try this – set the event browser to list view and then…

1. make a selection in the event browser with the in point the first frame of the segment you want in the drop zone
2. make the selection a favorite
3. in the timeline, place the playhead at the beginning of the clip with the drop zone using the up/down arrows
4. click on the drop zone icon in the inspector
5. go to event browser and click on the favorite you created in step two from the list view. You are clicking on the favorite in the list where the green star is, not in the filmstrip. It should show up in the left window in the “select source clip” interface and the same frame should show up in the right window inside the drop zone. You might have to click it twice
6. click on ‘apply clip”

It seems to work properly this way.

Try this

Select clip in project A and shift F to match frame. Switch to project b. Select secondary storyline in project B (click on “shelf” so the secondary storyline is highlighted) and press W to insert clip into secondary storyline at playhead or skimmer position. That way you don’t have to paste as attached and then move it.

Can you edit this much audio in other NLE’s (I truly don’t know)? I would think that the proper tool is a DAW for something like this.

What are you using for output? I was having trouble with delays on playback using a Blackmagic Ultrastudio until they updated their drivers.

Control Option up and down arrow will cycle through the views. No key commands for clip height in the timeline however. I have F1 and F2 mapped to Clip Labels Only and Clip Waveforms Only. F3 is mapped to Large Filmstrip. I find those three the most handy.
