No worries! I get your point, and I'm sure the command/period info will help plenty of folks.
It's not really you I was annoyed with - it was the damn waveform redraw. It didn't help that this was happening to me during an intensely pressured situation with an inflexible deadline and lots of chaos. At times like that I find myself wondering how it's possible that despite the development of much faster systems, this problem can still make editing life a misery. I'm just glad there's a chance that in a year or so I'll be working on systems where painful redraws aren't a factor.
Have a great (and productive) week!
Best,
Shirley

Sorry. Didn't mean to come off like that. Actually, I hadn't read the other
responses, so my point was not to be dismissive of your experience, but to say
that instead of trying to open another sequence, the answer was to cmd-. to stop
the redraw. I have never not been able to get this to work... sometimes it takes
a few seconds, but it's usually fairly responsive and foolproof. Just a matter
of the internet communications system of emails tangling intent. My apologies.
That's not the way I meant it to sound.

waveform redraw with Command/Period. However, it's clear some users are having a

indeed have stopped drawing the waveforms if I had just continued to pound on
those two keys repeatedly for another ten or twenty seconds, but I just gave up,
perhaps too soon.

Avid is now catching up to FCP in this regard. As to FCP's waveforms, they are
in many cases rather useless, but in my experience they are not inevitably
useless. I've experienced some weird out of sync stuff with them, where sound
and waveform display didn't line up, but that was a symptom of a bigger problem
with the audio media itself, some conflict between the frame rate of the Easy
Setup and the frame rate of the imported audio. In general, I just find them too
small, and I don't know of a way to make them bigger.
