This is amazing. I have been annoyed forever at this lack of functionality. Thanks for sharing.

SYNTAX Subsys monpane debug
NOTES This command allows rendered effects (precomputes) to be loaded into a monitor and
played. This is useful when doing cleanup to determine which precomputes to delete.

Before you use it, you must make precomputes visible in your bin. To see your precomputes
you need to select the BIN menu, and choose SET BIN DISPLAY.  Place a check mark beside
PRECOMPUTES to make them visible.  You may need to toggle this selection ON and OFF
repeatedly to update the precomputes you see in your bin. Precomputes travel with their
sequences so the precomputes you see are those attached to any sequences in the bin.

Now run Subsys monpane debug and you will be able to load the precomputes into your
player monitor for screening. You can actually edit with them as well‐ to be safe consider a
video mixdown of any portions of your timeline made from precomputes.

Speaking of "the ability to hold Shift to make a circle or a square," which should be a no-brainer, I find it odd that I can't click on a clip in the Timeline, then hold Shift and click on a later clip to select a start clip, end clip and everything in between on a given track. Isn't it a standard computer UI to be able to shift-click to select a large group (of anything)? Sometimes click & drag (lasso) is awkward, so shift-click should be an option.
Coming back to Media Composer from FCP after seven years, I was disappointed that the handling of stills (in Pan & Zoom) has not been improved upon. Message to Avid: Really? And I had to laugh the first time I got the familiar error message about precomputes not loading in the Source Monitor. Really?!!!!!
