Clips to timeline in Sierra
Hi All, Since running Sierra, I'm no longer able to get clips from the clips list onto the timeline, using the methods in Slau's tutorial. Having selected one or more clips, when I do a mouse-down, VO speaks 'Now in mix ...". and focus has indeed jumped to the mix window. On rare occasions when it has said 'mouse down on edit', when I then go to the tracklist table and do a mouse-up, it says 'mouse up on Apple', and there is no new track. This is a total show-stopper for me as I constantly have to import files. Firstly, can anyone suggest what I might try, and secondly, is there any chance that FloTools might address this long-standing difficulty. I'm so tempted right now to go back to Sonar for certain tasks where this was a cinch ... but seriously, there has to be a reliable way to get files in. Even when I used to import them as new tracks, I found that they couldn't be edited normally if they weren't in the clips list, so what to do?

RE: Clips to timeline in Sierra
Hi Peter! Did you check the mouse tracking setting in the VO utility? Maybe it's off by default in Sierra. Just try VO+Command+F5 before executing any mouse clicks etc. Good luck! / Martin > -Original Message- > From: ptaccess@googlegroups.com [mailto:ptaccess@googlegroups.com] > On Behalf Of Peter Bosher > Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2017 11:44 AM > To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com > Subject: Clips to timeline in Sierra > > Hi All, > > > Since running Sierra, I'm no longer able to get clips from the clips > list onto the timeline, using the methods in Slau's tutorial. > > > Having selected one or more clips, when I do a mouse-down, VO speaks > 'Now in mix ...". and focus has indeed jumped to the mix window.

Re: Clips to timeline in Sierra
Hi Peter, The first thing I'd look at is whether the clip you're selecting isn't beyond the bottom of the visible scroll area of the Clips List. The list will display roughly 80 items before you need to scroll down and, as we all know, VoiceOver is capable of reading things beyond the visible boundary. That's the first thing. Second, what's most likely happening if the prior scenario isn't the case, is that the Clips List is too narrow. Its default width is 86 points. when the mouse pointer follows the VoiceOver cursor, it becomes centered within the VoiceOver cursor and, when the table is too narrow, the mouse pointer actually ends up being outside the table, just to the right. Sometimes you'll hear VoiceOver say it's clicking on the desktop or Dock upon issuing a click. Now, let me say that the upcoming release of Flo Tools does address this issue and makes it very easy to drag clips from the Clips List to a track. We're just dotting the Ies and crossing the tees and it should be up any day. In the mean time, you can read through the text file in the PT Access Drop Box about how to resize the Track List and Clips List. You'll need Flo Tools to do things like move the mouse pointer to a specific coordinate and move the pointer while dragging. You'll have to follow the steps precisely but you'll be able to resize the Clips List within a session and that should help you drag clips the old-fashioned way according to that demo I did a while ago. This whole process of resizing the Track List and Clips List is simplified in the upcoming Flo Tools release as well. Finally, I have to say, when you import a file into a new track, the clip does, in fact, end up in your Clips List and there should be no issues editing it. As long as your track view is set to Waveform, you should be able to edit the clip, providing things like Link Edit and timeline and Edit Selection Follows Track selection are checked, etc. Hopefully this will help until Flo Tools 2.2 is out.

Any new Avid control surfaces coming?
Hi, Does anybody know of any upcoming new Avid control surfaces? Any rumours circulating? A local dealer was convinced there would come out new products similar to the Artist lineup, but this didn’t happen. The c/24 is great, but way overkill for my needs and the Pro Tools Dock I would only buy for the jog wheel, since the Artist Transport isn’t available anymore and I was too late to buy it. I have tried the Pro Tools Control app, but is too confusing for me, so has no extra value in that respect. thanks, Ronald -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.
