Terry,
I think you will remember that we almost unanimously hated the lack of keyframes
during the initial
beta testing many years ago..
Of course, no one listened.
When it was released, most people just stayed in the
old mode and didn't realize the problem.
Now that it's the only mode, most people are unhappy with it.
I hope they change it.

Subject: [Avid-L2] Re: MC5 new keyframe behaviour + workflow
Make that 3. I complained about this from the introduction. As have many others.
A simple push in now takes 4 clicks before you can start the adjustment.
