[Avid-L2] 2 Feature Refinement Suggestions + 1 Feature Request [2 Attachments]

TO:

Avid-L2 and other special people ;)

RE:

Two tweak suggestions + 1 feature request

First, a couple of quick suggestions to make two of the new features additionally useful . . .

1. Clip Frames:

Allow the editor to choose between 2 or 3 border widths.

The current width is a good start, but is pretty narrow, and can be difficult to see.

Consider allowing a setting for: Narrow (current width), Medium, Wide.

2. End of Trim Indicators:

In addition to the new End of Trim Indicators, I suggest adding back the original small red 'bracket' that used to appear in either the A or B side monitor, when you reached the end of a clip. I also suggest that you make the End of Trim Indicators in the Timeline red, rather than white. Currently, when trimming to the end of a clip, when it reaches its end, the indicator is difficult to see – Please see screen grab below or at link: http://i.imgur.com/Xz8gS2e.jpg (screen grab is 100% size as on my MBP; screen res. = 1920 x 1200).

3. Feature Request:

It would be very helpful for many users, especially new users, to have an additional aid in determining which side of a transition is selected for trimming. Providing a preference setting to turn on/off the display of a small arrow *attached* to the roller would be very helpful. – Please see image below or at link: http://i.imgur.com/LrAR8Rt.jpg (screen grab is 100% size as on my MBP; screen res. = 1920 x 1200).
