Re: Cut copy not available
Ah! Control P and Semi-colon. That's the command. I totally forgot about that one. Does keyboard focus mode have to be on for that to work? or is that a command that is now standard?

A sighted person would click with the selector Tool or grabber Tool. Scrubbing or shuttling within a track automatically creates an insertion point. So, if you have a control surface with a scrub/shuttle wheel, simply scrub or shuttle momentarily and then proceed with selecting audio for editing. If an insertion point isn't created, the range specified for editing simply highlights the ruler without selecting any audio. > Is an edit selection something different than a record or play selection? It can be, if the Edit and Timeline aren't linked. For 99 percent of users, there's no need to unlink the edit and Timeline. Make sure it's linked. Under the Options menu you'll see an item for that and it should be checked. > And I wonder if the inserteon function with arrow down and up should be > working always? Cause it doesn't seem to work here. It does work all the time but, again, one must have an insertion point within a track for it to work for editing. Otherwise, all you're doing by using down arrow and up arrow is making a selection in the ruler. Scrub or shuttle first and then the arrows will make selections within the track and you can edit. > Also got mixed results with the numpad keys slash to enter ragnes. > Sometimes the star key seems to do the trick though. The asterisk key will highlight the Main counter parameter. since Edit and Timeline are linked, entering a value for the Main counter automatically enters that same value in the Start field. Make sure that when you're entering values in Start and End, you press Enter on the num pad to complete the selection process. Same thing applies to just entering a Main counter value. Press Asterisk, enter the value and press enter on the Num pad. Hope that helps, Slau >>> >>> >> >
Re: Cut copy not available
I think that, with the Control modifier, the keyboard focus doesn't matter but if keyboard focus is enabled, simply pressing p or semicolon will work. I haven't tried it since I'm so used to using the Control key to be on the safe side. Slau On Mar 5, 2011, at 2:48 PM, Kevin Reeves wrote: > Ah! Control P and Semi-colon. That's the command.

Re: Cut copy not available control ; works with only 1 track showing!
Hi Slau & Kevin, I just had to use the old control ; a hour ago! I had a single master track showing with a automated fade out that I had to get rid of. Check this out! I had the master track with the fade out that needed to be wiped out and until I hit control ; I could not get a edit selection in that master track to delete the automation! Keep in mind there was only one master track showing no other tracks! WOOOPPEEE!!!

Hey Ronald, That last option I referred to is under the Options menu right below "Link Edit & Timeline." What Kevin was referring to was simply the neighboring track. In other words, by using the Control-; (semicolon and Control-p commands, one can move up and down through neighboring tracks and the insertion will follow the selection and vice versa.

Here is the Silver Bullet for selecting and dragging tracks in the mix window!
Hi Listers! This is short and sweet! The Track list Table in the mix window must be moved to the right or expanded by about 30% over to the right. The only thing that is a hassle is that VoiceOver does not see the "Vertical Splitter" when your interacting with the track list table. over the past several weeks I have been observing that some sessions could drag and drop tracks and Select "command click" non contiguous tracks but there did not seem to be any consistency! After a producer friend and myself moved the track list table over the corse of the past week or so session by session, by using the mouse while interacting with the table and BTW this vertical splitter is in the top right of the table. Track selection and reordering is now consistent. What i have-done is to have the track list table moved in my main session template so every session has that same table size or placement and bang. May be there is a way to get VoiceOver to see the vertical splitter? Listers check this out in your next session! Your Vertical Splitting may vary!

Re: Hello - Jim Abbott, Syracuse posting
Thanks all, glad to meet everyone. I'll contact off site where requested. Appreciate offers of help. I'll keep posting as we get things happening. I already have many questions (just using voice over in PT is a lesson in patience!) Jim
