You mean like the track tool to select everything after a certain point.

Everybody will have there views on this. Perhaps I’ve just used NLEs long enough to have adapted, but I can tell you it never bothered me from the beginning.
I do understand where cuts are made.
It might be worth an informal poll. How many like the current behavior, and how many find it a nuisance?
All the best,

That’s because the Down arrow takes you to the next edit event. The In point for the next shot. You need to tap the left arrow once before you mark the Out point. A lot people complain about this. Perhaps another preference for the down arrow key behavior.

I’d just like to say Erich that I have used systems that mark the way you describe. I’ve been editing tape since Quad machines, U-matic, one inch, Beta, on many systems and film before that, where of course you could mark whatever side you wanted. Starts were marked at the top of the frame in the Moviola, ends were marked at the bottom of the frame, very much like modern NLEs.
Personally I think NLE choice is very elegant and simple. WYSIWYG. If you see a frame when you mark an Out it’s included in the edit. If you don’t see the frame it’s not included. When you play In to Out, playback stops on the last frame of shot, not on the frame after.
Sure make it a preference. I think it works fine the way it is, and I think it could complicate media manager further, which I would not like to see.
All the best,
Tom

That’s an update not an upgrade. They are bug fixes exclusively with only minor change in behavior. I’d do it.

You’d best start by giving by giving the full configuration of your system, what’s the computer, what are the drives, what is the camera, how is everything connected, through what ports, what settings are on the tape, and what settings are you using in FCP?

There is an obscure little function in System Settings in the Playback Control panel that will let you set a frame offset for this purpose. It does work, but there can be some added latency in the keyboard control for forward, reverse, stop and so on.

SOund sync should have nothing to do with the monitor. Either the computer or the video output should be in sync. The only problem might be if you’re mixing and matching, video out with computer monitor or vice versa.

Have you rendered the dissolves? Are you looking at the output on a video monitor?
