Re: [CinCVS] Replace was: open Editors

2007-08-30 Thread Ed Colmar


I dug through the tutorials and manual last night trying to find this 
replace command.


Can you give me a little more info on how you achieved this, please.

I'm struggling with trying to fit video chunks in time with music.  
After they are placed in time across multiple tracks, how can I replace 
a chunk and not screw up the entire timeline?


Thanks!

arm the track I want to change (if necessary; usually it's the same one
I was already working on anyway), select the labels at the start and end
of the time I want to fill, do a replace, and then cut off the excess.

It looks like the official name for it is overwrite.  In the viewer
window, above the transport controls, it's the fourth button on the left,
and its use is described here:

Here's how I did it:
1. Switch to selection mode
2. Turn on 'Align cursor on frames'
3. Move the replacement track above the track in which you want to replace
4. Move the replacement video until it is aligned with the beats as you need 
it. You don't yet need to truncate it to the desired length
5. Select the range that you want to replace.

I.e. the tracks look now roughly like this:

 ..AA||..  - replacement
 ||BB  - to be replaced
 mmMm|MmMm|MmMmmm  - music with beats
 | selected |

In order to achieve this arrangement you will have armed only the (upper) 
replacement track because you had to align it with the music.

6. Use Edit-Copy (c). This copies the replacement to the clipboard
7. Disarm the replacement track.
8. Arm the track to be replaced.
9. Use Edit-Paste (v).

Goal achieved.

* Note that you must not destroy the selection in steps 6-9.
* Steps 7 and 8 are a single keypress: Hover the mouse over the track
  to be replaced and hit Shift-Tab.

Good luck!
