Re: [Avid-L2] MC 3.5.9

Or just toggle timeline views as described in the... cough, cough...
upcoming episode of the ever-helpful Avid Screencast.

But seriously, I rarely use waveforms, somehow I just prefer
shift-stepping through the material most of the time... (then again,
at work we're at Newscutter 6.2.something and drawing waveforms can be
painfully slow)

Bye,
Christian
