Re: [Avid-L2] MC Feature request: Video Mixdowns

While we are on that subject, would you all agree about some consistency in workflow procedure:


1. When you export a file, you can check to SELECT THE TRACKS on the timeline, and the In/Out points of the export – very useful.

However, when doing a VIDEO MIXdwn, track selection is not the method to indicate what is mixed, but rather, the 'Eyeball' square to the right of the Track Name in the timeline window (sorry, I know that is an Adobe term, but I forgot what Avid calls it). 

I see the logic in why they did that – it is the highest video track "eye-ball selected," which is mixed down, because as we all know, video tracks are 'hierarchal' in priority (and not cumulative like Audio tracks) – so selecting a V3 track that has titles, but not selecting V1 or V2 under it that contain video would not make sense in a Mixdown (or could it, if my suggestion for a change were made?!); and,


2. Also, I am unsure if this is only in NewBlueFX's TITLER PRO or also in Avid MC, but when any query box opens which needs you to approve or decline, did the OK button and CANCEL button swap places?  On some operations, it seems OK is where it used to be – the far right-bottom button.  But I have seen where it is on a different side. (???)


Thanks.

Feature request- Could video and audio mixdowns have the same options as far as editing the mixdown into the sequence, with the choice of tracks for them to go to? Also I think mixdowns should get loaded into the source monitor even if they don't go into a sequence.
