You mean the Effects tab? Go to Window>Effects (Cmd-5).

Unfortunately there is no kerning function in LiveType. It’s due to the way the text is constructed making glyphs into separate objects.

Anyone else see this? I tried 10 minute clips, five minute clips, short clips, master clips, subclips. I don’t get anything that freezes playback like this.

This makes no sense whatsoever. Our work has been on a variety of machines, some not a good as yours, including editing on PowerBook off a FW800 drive, a single G4 processor. I’ve never seen what you describe.
I tried it again on my PB in a 32 minute sequence. L key three times and it played through the sequence without pausing, skipping, hesitating or crashing.
You might want to look at some other underlying cause, something else that’s active at the same time, something in your drive. I’m just not seeing or experiencing what’s happening to you, but at least two people have reported this or something similar. Without being able to isolate the cause it’s going to be really hard to fix.

I understand what you’re saying, but I can’t make that happen. It doesn’t skip, and the application doesn’t crash. It may have to do with the sequence, length, content, material, but I’ve not seen in the month or so we’ve been using v5 on any of the machines we’ve worked on.

It has nothing to do with belief. I teach classes to FCP users. Over the last two weeks I’ve been in classes with 13 machines and nine machines, in different locations around the country, and none of them exhibit the performance behavior you describe.
Perhaps you could describe it a little more fully, and maybe I’d be able to reproduce what you’re seeing. I’ll be in a class tomorrow with 19 machines in Austin, and we can see if we can make it happen there.

I don’t understand. Scrubbing is what you do when you move the playhead forward and backward in the timeline. Do you mean holding K and L or K and J together? What’s scrubbing have to do with the pen tool?

How many of you are using AJAs or other third party devices? I know at least two out of four of you are.
-
Could you give a description of the contents of your sequence, length, number of events and such as I’m not seeing any stickiness in the timeline, but this may be a function of the AJA. Have you contacted them?
I haven’t seen a reconnect failure either and I do a lot of drive and location swapping. Are you assigning a specific drive for search, or just letting it go? It certainly seems slower than 4.5 if a specific location is not designated, but if a drive is picked it is much, much faster.

The producer is putting the marker in the wrong place. If he wants to trim a shot, select the shot and add the marker to it. If he can’t I guess you’d have to go through his marks and remark them on a clip or on a hidden slug that you could trim with the rest of the material to keep in sync. It depends on your sequence and now it’s laid out, which will work best for you.
If is notes are paper notes and he’s making timeline TC references, that’s always going to be a problem if the sequence is shifting duration while you’re working as the notes TC will no longer have reference to the actually timeline TC.
If he’s using markers, make up the sequence with a hidden slug that he can add the notes to and you can trim or ripple as the sequence ripples.
Feature requests for printing and moving timeline markers are pretty old, but it’s always worth adding another name to the list of requests.
