Re: [Avid-L2] FF/REW setting feature request?

 

As part of that traffic on Kester, I represent that remark.

For better or worse?  ;-)  I've found stopping on every street corner can be problematic, especially on Kester in Vanuys CA when a sting operation is going on.

Possibly this will solve your issue:

Composer Settings > FF/RW > then select "Ignore Track Selectors."
That will make FF/RW stop at every cut on _any_ track in the sequence.

On the subject of irritating behaviors -

I use the FF/REW commands a lot. Occasionally, and this is admittedly
operator error, I will leave an errant audio track selected and the odd
combination of tracks selected will send me to the head or tail of the
sequence. Since I work on hours, that can be like getting sent to
Siberia.

If one really wants to go to the head or tail, there are dedicated keys
(home and end) for that so wouldn't it make more sense for the Avid to
give me the "bonk" sound and stay where it is on the timeline if the
only combination of edits on the selected tracks is at the head and
tail? Or couldn't that be a setting?

Am I really the only one who screws up like this?

I've experimented a little with hitting "undo" which gets me back to
where I was but I've found sometimes "redo" disappears meaning I having
to recreate the edit. I don't know if that happens after changing the
track selection before hitting FF/REW.

Working in 7.04 in case it as changed in 8. I realize the option key
will get me to the next edit without regard to track selection but that
can be a lot of stepping if there are several audio edits or alternate
shots stacked below.
